Serena Stanton burrowed back under the covers and turned her back on Adrian, making it clear she had no intention of paying attention to him.
Seeing her throwing a little tantrum, the itch in Adrian's heart flared up again, and he couldn't stop himself from pulling her back to face him.
The two now looked at each other. Before she could lose her temper, Adrian lowered his head, bringing his nose to hover almost imperceptibly along her cheekbone and jaw. "Alright, from now on, I'll do it but won't say it."
"..."
The man's warm breath brushed over her skin. Serena smelled the cool, pleasant scent of his body wash mingled with a faint touch of amber and incense—a blending so intoxicating that her eyelashes fluttered softly.
Noticing how exhausted she was, Adrian stopped teasing and just pressed a heavy kiss on her lips before letting go, tucking the covers around her with care.
"Sleep now."
