Her Return, His Regret by Natie

Chapter 126~ Never been this happy

"Good morning, Mrs Kingsley," Ryan said in a husky voice, gently nudging Lora so she could wake up.

"I know I said we won't go out today, but I want us to have a special breakfast," Ryan said, leaning down to kiss Lora's forehead.

"Mmmmm," Lora moaned, stirring from her sleep. "Let's eat later, babe. I'm so tired."

"Oh, baby... I know but you have to wake up. I want us to watch the sunrise together and have breakfast. I promise, we will return to bed soon," Ryan replied, stroking Lora's hair.

The sun was just beginning to rise, casting a golden glow over the villa. Ryan and Lora were still in bed, wrapped in crisp white sheets. They hadn't slept until a few hours earlier and that was because they couldn't keep their hands away from each other. Lora slowly opened her eyes, the beautiful view of the lush tropical paradise coming into her view through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

She could hear the sound of the waterfall as it blended with the chirping of birds in the distance and the rustling of palm trees swaying in the breeze.

She wrapped her leg around Ryan's waist and asked, "Is the sunrise that beautiful?"

"It is and I want you to see it," Ryan replied. "I want to watch it with you."

Lora chuckled, thinking Ryan was such a romantic.

Nodding, she sighed and said, "Since my husband wants to watch the sunrise with me, why should I say no?"

"Are you saying you can't say no to me, Mrs Kingsley?" Ryan asked huskily, arching an eyebrow.

Lora smiled, her heart fluttering at the sound of the name. She responded, "I can't say no to you, just like you can't say no to me, Mr Kingsley."
