Chapter 92

(Serena's POV)

I woke up when Marcus slowly got on the bed and lie down behind me. I let him and pretended to be asleep until his arms wrapped around my body. His minty fragrance is something I yearn for and long the entire day.

Now that I feel his warmth, it feels like I really did miss him so much.

I need his warmth, his presence, his care, and his love. I'm not sure why I'm acting this way but I feel as though I need to see him before the end of this day.

After a few minutes, I heard his sleeping snore. I have this urge to turn around, but as soon as I saw his peaceful countenance, my heart softened. He looks exhausted.

I wrapped my arms around him, snuggling my bare face to his neck, inhaling his fragrance. He didn't take a shower as his skin still feels sticky because of sweat but it doesn't matter to me.

I feel apologetic for my sudden actions earlier. Just as I realized that I'm being unreasonable, accusing him of doing something that he would never do.
