My thoughts after releasing the previous chapter: ..... What have I done? 

Happy Reading!!

----------------------

William was the first to wake up and the moment he cracked open his eyelids, Elise's chestnut brown hair greeted his vision.

It was already morning, somewhere around 6 at most. Seeing that it was bright outside the curtains, he realized they skipped dinner and slept through the whole night.

He'll have to apologize to Louis later.

Looking down at the sleeping woman in his arms, he smiled softly when he felt her peaceful and soothing breath on his bare chest. Her hair is a bit of a mess now and he gently brushed it aside with one hand to see her slightly flushed face, and his smile grew.

Peaceful. Innocent. Beautiful.

It was a captivating sight to see her sleeping so blissfully in his arms. He could never get tired of loving her.

Yet at the same time, William could not help but feel a twinge of guilt and sadness in his heart.

He leaned closer and buried his face on the top of her head, taking in her natural scent that always calms his heart from uneasiness.

Her porcelain-like arms were wrapped around him in an embrace, an action he finds quite endearing from her, considering that Elise is not a clingy type of person. Both of their bodies are bare and the mattresses were the only thing that covers them while they share each other's warmth.

It's so precious and so dear that he wanted to stay like this forever.

If the whole Britain knew this... how the second son and youngest daughter of the Moriarty family are in an intimate relationship, they'll definitely go mad (especially the males who had their eye on her) and scream curses at them for having such "sinful and scandalous" relationship.

But then again, they are not even blood siblings to begin with.

Lifting the mattress that covers them, he could see a few love bites on her waist and legs, which
is not much of a problem since she could still hide them with her dress. William had been careful where to leave marks on her fair skin, especially on where it can be seen.

Though he could not stop the smile that was tugging his lips when he saw a single one on the base of her neck.

He wanted to at least leave it in a place where others can see it, even just once.

The marks remind him of rose petals with those deep red and almost purplish colors that is scattered all over her body. He never thought he'd think of it that way and he finds this way of thinking both amusing and interesting.

Marks aside, their love-making had always been gentle because of her illness and he always made sure to prioritize her health even in the middle of the act.

Even though there were times he nearly lost control of his self because of how alluring she looked on bed.

"P-Please... William... hn..." Elise looked at him with pleading and tearful eyes as her face is flushed red from the heat of it all. Her nails scratched his back frantically but not to the point that would bleed but enough to convey her desire to him. "A-Ah... m-more... please... d-don't...mgnh...! Ah... d-don't... hold b-back... hah... f-faster please-ah...! Hah..."

Seeing her writhing under him from the stimulation while making such flushed and irresistible face, William had to swallow back that lump in his throat and tightly clutched the mattress next to her.
