The next morning, Emmeline woke up in Abel’s embrace.

As she opened her eyes, she was greeted by the sight of his chiseled and handsome face. A night of passion had left a hint of stubble on his firm jawline, adding to his already irresistible allure.

Emmeline reached out and softly stroked his sexy chin, savoring the feel of his rough whiskers against her fingertips.

Suddenly, Abel opened his eyes.

“There’s danger ahead,” he said in a low, husky voice. “Don’t tempt me, don’t you know it’s morning?”

“Ah!” Emmeline let out a small cry and pulled her hand back, ready to get up.

“Trying to escape?” Abel rolled over and pinned her down, holding her hands above her head.

“Last night you said,” Emmeline blushed, “that since we’re not married, you wouldn’t touch me.”

“What, you mean I can’t even touch you?” Abel teased. “I never said I wasn’t going to try.”

“You’re so annoying!” Emmeline blushed even more and hid her face in the crook of his arm.

“So you’re really hoping I’ll take it to the next level?” Abel chuckled. “Well, I guess I can’t disappoint you.”

“No, don’t!” Emmeline protested. “You don’t want to start a fight so early in the morning, do you?”
