**Chapter 12: Morning After**

Morning After The warm sunlight streaming through the window highlighted the contours of Lex's body, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction as I gazed at her. She was still asleep, her chest rising and falling with each gentle breath. I studied her face, taking in the gentle curve of her jaw, the softness of her skin, and the way her eyelashes fluttered with each blink. As I lay there, I couldn't help but think about the night before. The way Lex had responded to me, the way she had let go and given herself to me. It was exhilarating, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of possessiveness wash over me. She was mine, and I was hers. I gently rolled onto my side, careful not to disturb her, and propped myself up on one elbow. Lex stirred, her eyes fluttering open as she gazed up at me. A soft smile spread across her face, and she reached up, her hand brushing against my chest. "Morning," she whispered, her voice husky from sleep. I smiled, my heart skipping a beat as I gazed into her eyes. "Morning," I replied, my voice low and gentle. Lex's gaze dropped, her eyes scanning my body before coming to rest on the sheets. She blushed, a deep pink color rising to her cheeks, and I couldn't help but chuckle. "You're still a little sore, aren't you?" I asked, my voice teasing. Lex nodded, her eyes still downcast. "Yeah." I reached out, gently brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "I'm sorry," I said, my voice sincere. "I didn't mean to hurt you." Lex's gaze snapped back to mine, a spark of amusement dancing in her eyes. "You didn't hurt me," she said, her voice firm. "You just... surprised me." I grinned, relief washing over me. "I'm glad I could surprise you," I said, my voice low and husky. As I gazed at her, I noticed that she was wet. A small stain on the sheets below her was a testament to her arousal, and I couldn't help but feel a surge of desire. I reached out, gently tracing the curve of her hip with my fingers. "You're still ready for me, aren't you?" I asked, my voice teasing. Lex's eyes flashed with desire, and she nodded, a small smile playing on her lips. I couldn't resist. I leaned in, my lips brushing against hers as I kissed her softly. As we broke apart for air, Lex's eyes sparkled with mischief. "I think I'm always ready for you," she said, her voice husky. I grinned, my heart skipping a beat. I had a feeling that this was going to be a very interesting day.
