Laura woke up, surprised to see Marco still in bed. He usually got up early, ready for another day as soon as the sun appeared, but today he was awake, simply holding her.
"Good morning."
"Good morning, aren't you going to take care of the ranch today?"
"I am, but I was waiting for you to wake up."
"Why?"
"Because yesterday you gave me a gift, baby, and I wasn't going to let you wake up alone after that."
Laura's heart skipped a beat at his words.
"Thank you."
"Don't thank me, I was the one who received the gift. Now come, I'll wash your hair."
"I can do it."
"I know you can, but I want to, it's only fair."
He really thought Laura would be upset about having her hair touched by his semen, but she didn't show any irritation; on the contrary, she slept clinging to him all night.
