Inexperienced novel Chapter 37

I wake up, a little smile on my face and look beside me and frown slightly when I see that Marquis isn't there. I sit up a little and stretch and then get out of bed so that I can go and head to the restroom. I gasp as a sharp pain is felt, mainly in my lower regions. It sends me toppling to the carpeted floor.

"What?" I whisper to myself and go to stand up again but the pain is to much. That's when it hits me.

"And have your arms go numb? No thank you, plus I can walk." I retort to him because I asked him to set me down and he dropped me onto the ground (Chapter Eleven).

"You can now but if I had my way with you, you wouldn't be able to," he said huskily. So this is what he meant and there I was thinking he was going to break my legs. For the record I only insisted on the second, third, fifth, and tenth round! He insisted on the other... Um I lost count. I didn't know this would be the result.

"Lilith?" Marquis asks as he enters the room.

"I-I'm over here. I-I can't get up," I reply shyly. I hear something being set down and then I hear his footsteps make his way to the other side of the bed.

"Well isn't this a sight. Told you if I had my way you wouldn't be able to walk," he says cockily and I blush as he easily scoops me up in his arms. I hide my face in his neck. "Now how are you all of a sudden being shy, after yesterday hmm? If I remember correctly you were..."

"Hey!" I interrupt him, blushing harder than I was before, as images of last night enter my head. "Can you please just take me to the bathroom," I murmur.

"Your wish is my command. Then after breakfast I'm thinking round forty."

"Does your body not need rest, are you even human?" I ask him bewildered and he laughs, like full on laughs and I find myself entranced. The little crinkles that from in the corner of his eyes, how his eyes light up, the happiness that radiates off of him, and his smile, oh that smile. His laugh is beautiful, has a cute ring to it. If I could, I would make him laugh all day. After refreshing myself, Marquis carries me back to bed and that's when I realize that what was set down earlier was a tray with breakfast.

"Here we are," he says and sets the tray down in front of me and then sits down beside me. Smiling I share some of my breakfast with him. We're sitting in comfortable silence eating and I don't know why the words came out of my mouth but they did.

"Marquis?" I ask.

"Hmm?" He hums in reply.
