“Hello!” I answered the phone as I cleared my throat.

“Scarlett, Nora is awake. She wants to meet you,” Armond said over the phone. His voice sounded deep and exhausted.

“Alright, I will hurry over right now!” I exclaimed with a jolt of shock as all traces of my drowsiness vanished into thin air.

After I ended the call, Ashton’s hand was still draped across my waist. As the blankets slid off my naked body, I felt a hint of shyness due to the exposure.

Quickly, I set my phone aside. “Nora is awake! I have to go visit her,” I told him urgently.

Ashton nodded sleepily. Although he had just woken up, his handsome feature gave him a very alluring look.

 

Just as I was about to rise to my feet, Ashton captured me in his embrace. “Stay a little longer…” he rasped lowly.

“Nora is awake! There must be a reason for Armond’s early call! I must visit her,” I said and pushed his hand away.

 

“Okay,” he mumbled in response and did not comment any further.

I felt a tinge of childish frustration when he closed his eyes. Without hesitating, I bent down and blew a puff of air into his ear.

Immediately, his body stiffened in surprise. “Are you teasing me?” Ashton’s gaze darkened as he gazed at me.

“I was just trying to wake you up,” I replied innocently.

Without warning, Ashton flipped my body and caged me underneath him.
