Nikolai's hand slipped through Selene's silky blonde hair, wrapping the soft locks around his fingers as she slept. The difference between Selene when awake and sleeping brought a smile to his face; her calm snores were like a baby sheep, and each time his palm touched her cheek, she nuzzled against it.
"Nn..."
"You worked really hard, honestly... I didn't expect you to enjoy it that much."
The morning sunlight peeked through the curtains, forming beautiful rays of light that warmed Nikolai's skin as he slipped from the bed. His feet slapped the ground before striding into the bathroom, where a steaming bath awaited him.
"Phew..."
His body slipped into the water while enjoying the feeling of heat and steam enveloping his body. The feeling like a layer of his skin vanished, all the dirt and sweat from their evening together. Although he cleaned Sena a few hours after their fun ended, only now could he relax.
'She accepted, so I have to speak with Lunaria next.'
