Chapter 602: Enjoying His Sleeping Angelic Face

’Right. He has unlimited stamina when it comes to the bed so I shouldn’t be so full of myself,’ Arabella reminded herself. It would be embarrassing if she thought it was because of her that he was sleeping like this when it was something else entirely.

After all, in the past, no matter how many times they did it, he always had energy to spare.

Thus, Arabella concluded that it was because of Ferdinand’s long fight with Nero that he was sleeping so soundly right now.

No matter the reason, it felt so nice and warm to wake up beside him after more than two months of waking up alone in bed.

She reached out to caress his cheeks but retracted her hand before she was able to touch him.

The slightest touch might wake him, so she didn’t dare. She wanted to keep gazing at his peaceful and pretty sleeping face for a bit more.

Ferdinand’s sleeping face was a treat since he always wakes up before she does. He only pretends to be asleep while waiting for her to wake up.

But this time, he was truly asleep, and she could adore him as she pleased without any comments or teasing from him.

She was gazing at his perfect features when...

"A-Arabella..." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

He uttered her name in such an affectionate manner and pulled her closer.

’Did he wake up?’

He had such keen senses that he might have felt her gaze even in his slumber.

However, when she remained silent and observed him, she realized he was still asleep.

’He says my name in such a manner even in his sleep,’ Arabella smiled and watched his face closely.

It meant even in his dreams; he was thinking about her.

Many people were scared of him, but they didn’t know he looked this angelic when he was asleep. Or that he looked especially handsome when he smiled and laughed.

Arabella had a sense of pride in being the only woman who knew these sides of Ferdinand now.

She was the only one whom he had shown such adorable and affectionate expressions in this life.

Who cares if he tried to pursue other women or fell in love several times in the past? What matters now is that this time, it was just her who had his love, and it made her happy.

That was more than enough.

"Arabella..." Ferdinand uttered her name again.

’See, he must be dreaming about me,’ Arabella grinned and wanted to pinch his cheeks. He was simply so adorable.

She kissed him on the forehead, and he still didn’t wake up.

A few moments later, Arabella blinked twice when the way Ferdinand kept saying her name changed.

It became erotic. And he held her tighter in his arms.

She raised a brow when she felt him having an erection.

’Is he having a naughty dream?’

They already did it so many times last night that they both couldn’t move when it was over. And yet, he was still getting horny even in his sleep.

"Ugh... Arabella~"

The way he was moaning her name was so erotic. It was making her feel weird, so she decided to wake him up.

It was unfair of him to enjoy by himself in the realm of his dreams when she was right here beside him.

"Ferdinand, wake up," she caressed his cheeks.

There was no response. He kept moaning instead.

’Is his dream that fun that he couldn’t even hear my voice?’ Arabella pouted.

She kissed him on the lips and bit at his lower lip. Just when she pulled away, Ferdinand held the back of her head and kissed her.

She thought he was finally awake, but he was still asleep.

’Seriously?!’ Arabella glared at his sleeping figure.

"Ferdinand, wake up," Arabella held his shoulder and shook him.

"Mmm...." Ferdinand finally stirred.

But instead of waking up, he buried his face in her chest and held her tight as if trying to suffocate himself.

She would have let him stay that way for as long as he pleased if one of his hands didn’t travel to her rear and gave it a good squeeze.

He wasn’t fully awake yet, but he was already acting naughty.

Arabella gently ruffled his hair and giggled, "Wake up. Ferdinand."

"Mm, that feels good," he muttered in a low voice. She didn’t know if he meant her playing with his hair, his face on her chest, or his hand on her behind.

"Are you awake now?" Arabella asked and she felt his body tense up.

[I fell asleep?!]

He gave her backside one more squeeze and nuzzled at her chest.

[It’s real! This is Arabella’s! I fell asleep right after we... I didn’t even heal her!]

Ferdinand pulled away and stared at her. His eyes looked alarmed.

"Arabella, I’m so sorry. Are you alright?"

Instead of a greeting, those were the words that came from his mouth first.

"Good morning, Ferdinand. I’m mighty fine. What are you apologizing about?" Arabella was quite puzzled.

He was having a naughty dream about her earlier and now he was apologizing. What for exactly?

"I lost control last night and overdid it. Your body must be..." Ferdinand paused and got the sheets off of her. He paled as he gazed at her body.

Arabella wondered what he was so worried about and glanced at her naked body. She was surprised to find a lot more marks than usual.

The main difference was the bitemarks. She did recall Ferdinand biting her a lot last night while they were doing it, and it felt so good.

"I’m so sorry. I’ll heal them..." Ferdinand was about to heal her, but Arabella avoided his touch.

Ferdinand froze and was wide-eyed. His eyes filled with dread.

[She no longer wants me to touch her?! Right.... Of course... After what I did last night, she must be furious...]

"Ferdinand, I just don’t want you to heal me yet. It’s a bit comfortable but I want to feel like this a bit more," Arabella corrected.
