She looked so peaceful, so… calm like this. With the morning light bathing her face in gold, a serene smile spread across her face. She was an angel, a goddess. A gift I didn’t deserve.

I’d never known how good it would feel—to wake up like this. To spend a night in each other’s arms. I was no stranger to sex, but last night… It felt like a first for me.

Brushing a hair out of her face, I held my breath as she stirred slightly.

“Hi,” she murmured, voice rough from sleep.

“Good morning.” I kissed her cheek, because even if I was trying to be good, it was hard to keep my hands off of her.

“What’s the plan for today?” I asked, curling an arm around my witch.

Willow stretched her arms, the sheet moving back from the motion, exposing her cute pink tits. My mouth watered.

“Mmm.” Her groggy voice groaned. “I’m hungry. Should we have breakfast?” Her body cuddled closer to me, pressing her nipples against my chest.

I held in the groan I felt from the feeling, trying to focus on the woman in front of me. On her priorities—instead of how I was already half hard, just from the feel of her body against mine. “What about the bakery? Do we need to go help Luna?”

She waved me off. “No, she’s got it. She told me to take the day off.” Willow sat up, wincing slightly as she moved. “Maybe she knew I’d be sore.”

A devilish grin spread over my face. “I think I know just the thing that will help.”

I wanted to make her feel better, since I was the reason for it. She’d taken all of me so well, and I couldn’t help how much of a satisfied male that made me.

Ripping the sheets off our bodies, I picked her up in my arms. Her still naked form made my current plan much easier. Willow’s soft curves pressed against my body, and I couldn’t help but appreciate her figure. How lucky I was that she’d picked me. Setting her on the bathroom counter, I got everything ready for her.

Moving to her giant claw-foot tub, I started the water running, adding some soothing oils and sea salt to help her muscles relax. As it filled, I went and grabbed a few candles, leaving them on various surfaces in the room. It created a beautiful ambiance, illuminating both of us in candlelight when I flicked the light off.

“Wow,” she said sleepily. “Such service.”

“Have to take care of my little witch,” I said, kissing her forehead as I held out a hand, helping her into the tub.

“Ohhh,” she moaned as she slid into the warm water, closing her eyes and tipping her head back against the rim. “If you’re going to spoil me like this, I won’t be able to let you go.”

“Willow—” I hated that she thought this thing between us was temporary. That there was any doubt in her mind about what I was feeling. But I couldn’t tell her that. It was too soon.

“Not now,” my witch whispered. “Please.”

Stripping off my boxers, I slowly slid into the water behind her, wrapping my arms around her waist. I couldn’t stop touching her. I needed to, if only to calm that instinct inside of me. The one that screamedMine.I wanted to claim her, to mark her, for the world to know exactly who she belonged to.

Later.It wasn’t time for that yet. There was still so much she didn’t know.

“Better?” I asked, massaging her thighs.

Willow hummed in agreement, leaning her head back to rest against my shoulder. She shut her eyes, looking totally at ease.

After I’d washed her hair, we stayed in the bath until the water ran cold, neither one of us wanting to break this perfect bubble.

She was right. We could talk about everything later. I just wanted to enjoy my time with her for now.

Her eyes widened as she entered the kitchen. “You weren’t kidding when you said you know how to make breakfast.”

I’d fried eggs, cooked some bacon, and even made pumpkin pancakes after leaving Willow to get ready, knowing we’d never leave her bedroom if I stayed in there.

My eyes trailed over her body in an obvious perusal. She’d pulled on a cozy white sweater and a tan overall dress, tying her hair up into a ponytail with an orange and white polka dot scrunchie.

“Hi,” I said, giving her a small smile before she slid in behind me, wrapping her arms around my torso.
