SEX WITH THE VIRGIN MAID novel Chapter 56

Bryce woke up to find Hera's side of the bed completely empty. The last thing he remembered was curling up on her thighs till he drifted off to sleep so where did she go? They had slept together and he was sure of it. There's no way in hell that she'd leave him to sleep somewhere else. The possibility of that happening was one hundred to one percent but he was hoping that she didn't. Just then, she walked into the room holding a tray containing breakfast of different sorts.

"Good morning." She greeted and a smile lit up on his face. He was genuinely happy to see her. She didn't leave.

"You didn't leave." It was more of a statement than a question. He thought that telling her his past had maybe scared her off or maybe he had thought that his presence had scared her away from her own bedroom but he was wrong. He didn't want her to feel scared or threatened by him. He was hoping that they had crossed that bridge. He was really hoping that she didn't consider him a monster like he'd hoped.

"I made you breakfast." She held up the tray for him to see. "Mariam mentioned that you barely touched your food last night and I was worried. Why didn't you eat? You could fall sick you know." She chided him. Her words made him feel warm. She was genuinely worried about him.

"Because someone was making me worry about her in more ways than one. How did you expect me to eat when you were barely talking to me. I hated it." He tilted his head to the side with a grin on his face. "Come here." He opened his arms wide and as if being controlled by a gaming pad, she placed the food on the bed and walked right into them.

There was something incredibly soothing and comforting when he hugs her. He can't tell if it's the lavender fragrance or the fact that she had always carried this aura of positivity around her. Either ways, he found it comforting. It always seemed to calm his nerves.

"The smell of lavender." He sniffed and pulled away. "It's faint. Why is it faint?"

She pulled away. "I haven't washed my hair Bryce. And how is it that you can always tell when I haven't used this shampoo anymore? Are you some sort of detective?" She arched a brow at him.

"For you, I can be anything you want me to be." He proclaimed and her cheeks heated up. Is it wrong that she let him into her room? This was the first time she let a guy sleep over but why doesn't she feel guilty about it? The sisters at the convent would probably eat her out if they find out about this. She was breaking more rules than one and although she didn't want it to be that way, she can't help it. She liked being close to him. She had found out these past few weeks that she hated it when she didn't speak to him. She didn't like it so what should she do about it?

"Are you going to work today?" She asked, still hugging him.

"Not really. I intend to spend as much time with you to make up for the ones that we had lost. You have me all to yourself for the day Hera." He declared proudly. "So, if there's anything that you'd like to do or a place that you would like to visit then, I'll be more than happy to take you there myself."

"Great." She chimed. "Because I invited Max over. You remember that you do owe him an apology right? You promised that you would."

"You can't be serious." Bryce couldn't believe his ears as he pulled away from the hug to look at her. She had gone ahead to do it didn't she? The little hellion. Damn! He thought that he could escape this one but it's looking like he won't be able to.
