Chapter 309

When the alarm clock rang the next day, Leanna woke up, stretched her hand to the bedside table out of habit, and was surprised that she couldn't feel the clock against her palm.

She closed her eyes and listened for a while before realizing that the sound of the alarm clock was coming from underneath the bed.

When she wanted to turn to her side to grab her phone, the arm around her waist was tightened, and she was pulled back against someone's body.

She was caught unawares and was tugged straight into Aidan's embrace.

Aidan kissed her ear, and his voice was hoarse from sleep as he mumbled half-awake, "Let's sleep in."

"I need to turn off the alarm." Then, after a pause, she reminded him, "It's 8. Don't you have to go to the office?"

"No."

"But I need to go to the studio," Leanna muttered softly.

After a few seconds of silence, he slowly opened his eyes and teased, "You look pretty energized. I remembered someone begging me to stop last night. Who she was, I wonder."

Leanna blushed shyly and huffed, "Can you be more civilized?"

"How can you expect a… Dog was it? To act civilized?"

As he taunted, his hand slowly moved down from her waist.

"No..." Leanna began to whine. "Stop..."

He gently kissed her neck. "Go later. You have your staff in the studio, right?"

"But I can't just—"

Before she could even finish her words, her lips were sealed, and he effectively silenced her protests.

Soon, the morning passed.
