AS SOON as Tilly woke up, she immediately tried to reach Kiho with her hand. When she didn't feel him beside her, she opened her eyes and got up right away. She felt a little bit of panic when she didn't find him on the bed. "Kiho?"

She was relieved when the door opened and Kiho entered their room.

Based on his training outfit and the wooden sword attached to his hip, she figured that he got up early to practice swinging. He always did that in the morning.

"Oh, you're awake," Kiho said, pleasantly surprised. "Good morning, honey."

"Good morning," Tilly said, then she opened her arms to ask for a hug. "Come here, hon."

Kiho hugged her and she fell backwards until she was lying on her back. He was on top of her, kissing her hungrily as usual. She remembered falling asleep right after she washed up last night. He must have missed their intimate moment.

"Shall we take a bath together?" Kiho whispered, then gently bit her earlobe.
