A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 254

"You must have been exhausted," Silas murmured, "I wanted to let you sleep a little longer. I know it's hard for you to fall asleep again once you're awake."

"It's okay to wake me," Calliope said as she exited the car.

Silas followed her, stretching his arms a bit as he did.

Calliope noticed immediately. "Your arm's gone numb, huh? You should've woken me up."

"It's fine. I just needed a bit of stretching."

Together, they headed inside and went to their room.

Silas pulled Calliope into his embrace as soon as they entered, his deep, bright eyes locked onto hers. "Callie, now that you're awake, should we... you know, do something?"

Calliope's eyes widened. Just moments ago, she felt sorry for him, but now, not so much. ‘Men,’ she thought with a playful roll of her eyes, ‘always thinking with their lower half.’

"Can we?" he asked, his voice a husky whisper as he leaned in, brushing his lips against hers. "You've been so busy these days. We haven't had time for ourselves."

"Don't you want to?" he teased, one hand sneaking under her sweater, making her shiver.

Her knees buckled slightly, but Silas was quick to catch her, his other hand exploring her skin, sending little electric shocks with every caress.

"Let's... let's shower first..." she stammered, her words shaky, her desire undeniable.
