Dulcie lowered her gaze and went to bed quietly.


    Kyson continued to read for another half hour, and then removed his gold-rimmed sses and switched the room light to a dimmer setting.


    He made sure the subdued Light wouldn’t disturb Dulcie’s sleep before he headed to the bathroom for a shower.


    However, despite her closed eyes, Dulcie found herself unable to fall asleep.


    She was lying on Kyson’s pillow, nestled in the soft bed he had used for many years.


    The faint scent of Kyson lingered on the pillow, stirring excitement in Dulcie that made sleep elusive.

    While she was caught up in her thoughts and spections, the sound of running water from the bathroom was clear.


    Dulcie could almost picture Kyson, his skin glistening with droplets of water…

    She wondered if perhaps he had scars or some imperfection he felt the need to hide.

    Dulcie swiftly drifted into slumber.


    Kyson dried his hair and exited the dressing room, observing Dulcie, who was sleeping fitfully due to the heat, with half her body exposed.All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Her slender, fair legs pressed against the quilt beneath her nightdress.
