Little Bean was vibrating with pure excitement, squealing quietly, "Ahhh! Daddy climbed into bed! Mommy! Daddy is in the bed!"
Seraphina took a slow, deep breath, rolled onto her side so her back was to him, and forced herself to project total calm.
"Then go to sleep," she said, keeping her voice incredibly steady.
In reality, she felt like her heart was about to pound right out of her chest.
Her senses were flooded with his distinctly masculine scent.
Silence hung heavily behind her for several long seconds.
Then, she felt his solid, scorching body inch closer.
She could feel the radiant heat rolling off him.
"Sera," he suddenly called out.
"Yeah?"
"Nothing," he murmured. "Go to sleep."
She heard him let out a soft sigh. His warm breath brushed against the nape of her neck, sending a violently pleasurable shiver down her spine.
Seraphina bit her lower lip, too terrified to move a muscle.
The room was so dead silent that she could only hear their synchronized breathing.
She had no idea when she finally passed out, but when she woke up the next morning, she was completely cocooned in Lucian's arms.
Her back was pressed flush against his broad chest, his heavy arm was clamped securely around her waist, and his chin rested softly on top of her head.
They looked exactly like a deeply, passionately in love married couple.
Seraphina froze solid, absolutely terrified to breathe.
She could feel the steady, powerful thud of his heartbeat against her back.
Little Bean was already awake, giggling gleefully. "Mommy, don't move! Just stay like that and let Daddy hold you a little longer!"
Just as Seraphina was about to pull away, Lucian's sleep-roughened voice rumbled above her.
"Don't move."
His arm tightened around her waist, pulling her even flush against him.
"Five more minutes."
Seraphina: "..."
She honestly didn't move an inch.
Exactly five minutes later, Lucian released her with military precision.
"I'm going to wash up," he announced, sliding out of bed and walking barefoot into the bathroom.
