Ice and Fire novel Chapter 723

"Ok darling, you do all the housework," Violet echoed him, as she made her way to the bathroom, happy with the outcome.

The sound of splashing water and Violet's laughter could be heard over the soap opera playing on the television in their apartment. There was an air of seduction in the bathroom as the couple shared some private time.

"It's too hot, Greg," Violet moaned.

"Then add more cold, darling," Greg advised, as she was closest to the nozzle.

"Stay there," she commanded, adjusting the nozzle so it was a little cooler.

"Come here," Greg said, pulling Violet back towards him, wrapping his large, protective arms around her.

Tying a bath towel around his waist, Greg scooped Violet up and carried her out of the bathroom. He placed her gently on the kingsize bed and leaned over to turn off the lamps on the bedside tables.

"Guess who doesn't have to be up early in the morning, darling?" Greg whispered to her, a wicked smile on his lips.

"Even so, my love, we shouldn't stay up too late. We have things to do," Violet retorted, ever the sensible one.

"Well, you said you'd give me whatever I wanted, so it's not your call," Greg replied, acting dominant.

"You're such a liar, Greg," Violet grumbled, but she was only joking. She curled up in his arms.

The clock struck twelve noon as sunlight filtered through the curtains into their bedroom. Greg and Violet lay sleeping peacefully, entwined in the sheets. The heat of the night they had spent hung in the air.

Suddenly, the peal of a phone disrupted their sleep.

"Greg, that's my phone ringing," Violent mumbled, opening one eye lazily.

Greg blinked a few times, yawning as he reached for the phone on the bedside table. "It's Aunt Amy," he told Violet, as he glanced a the screen quickly.

"Oh, I see," Violet replied, wiping the sleep from her eyes and gesturing for the phone.

Greg answered for her, and put the phone to her ear.

"Hello, Amy," Violet began.

"Hello Violet, are you busy?" her sworn mother asked. Amy's voice boomed through the phone, as Violet adjusted to being awake.

"No, I'm not busy. What's up?" Violet replied.

"Alice called us. She mentioned that you and Greg are picking her up at the airport, so we don't need to. We're going to book a restaurant, so we can all eat dinner together. We'll meet you there, okay?"

"Ok, I can call you once I've met Alice. Does that sound okay?" Violet enquired.

"Perfect. I'll send you the address by text once I've reserved somewhere for us," Amy proposed.

"Great, bye." Violet rung off, and put the phone down.

She closed her eyes again, drifting back to sleep in moments.
