The Triplet Alphas' Secret Mate

Chapter 223: The Gossips

SCARLETT’S POV

​I woke up to soft kisses pressed against the top of my head. I smiled slowly, opening my eyes to the bright morning sun streaming through the open window. The dark, wild pleasure of last night felt like a dream, but the ache between my thighs was a very real reminder of exactly how Leonard had claimed me.

​"Good morning, sleeping beauty," Leonard murmured, his voice thick and deep with sleep.

​I smiled, shifting against his chest. "Good morning, handsome."

​He let out a low chuckle, his massive arms tightening around me. "I could get used to this. Waking up with you in my arms every day."

​"Me too," I sighed, a bittersweet feeling hitting my chest.

​I looked over at the clock on the nightstand and realized it was already 8:00 AM. My eyes widened, and I sat up quickly. "Leonard! You didn’t wake me up!"

​"If it were up to me, I never would have," he teased, a lazy smirk on his lips.

​I grabbed a pillow and playfully hit him with it. He just laughed, his deep morning voice rumbling through the room.

​But as I looked around the quiet bedroom, a sudden thought crossed my mind. Today was Wednesday. It was Leo’s turn. Why hadn’t Leo come to wake me up?
