Eloise woke up and when she was about to stretch, she felt a hard body behind her. She quickly looked back and saw Leon. The happenings from the previous day suddenly rushed through her brain which made her sigh in relief.
She stared at him and couldn’t help but wonder why such angel looking guy was a demon. But then, she remembered that the demon was once God’s favorite angel. Eloise was really curious as to what happened. Why did the angel turn into a demon? But of course, there was no way to answer that question so she just brushes it aside.
“Good morning, love,” Leon suddenly said which made Eloise blush slightly.
He opened his eyes and saw his woman blushing.
“Good morning,” Eloise greeted him back.
“You always do this when you wake up first,” Leon pointed out.
“I do?” She asked. “What happens when you were the one who wakes up first?”
“You’ll just have to find out. Maybe tomorrow I’ll try to do it.” He teased her which made her pout. “You’re cute, love, but that won’t work for me.”
“Fine. Then, I’ll just have to make sure that I wake up late tomorrow.”
They both got up and started preparing for work. Eloise showered first while Leon cooks their breakfast. They really didn’t need to hurry because it was still early and who cares if the boss went to work late? Fear would eat them up first before they decide to speak up.
After Eloise was done taking a bath, she went down and helped Leon.
“So, demons feel sleepy too?” Eloise curiously asked as she plates the food.
“Yes, so that we can regain strength for the next day. Returning your memories really took big energy from me and suddenly changing to human and demon form was also tiring,” He answered as he cooks up eggs.
“So, you do magic too?”
“Demon magic is sometimes called dark magic. But we don’t study for it. It just naturally comes to a demon.”
“In the demon world, do you have kings and queens? Or do you have status based on your powers?”
“Yes. There is a demon king and queen and yes, we have status based on powers.”
“What are you, then?”
“I am the demon prince and you, my lady, are the demon princess,” He answered as he hugs her from the back.
He placed his chin on her shoulder and she leaned back on him.
“Do they acknowledge me as a princess?”
“Yes. If not, they would have attacked you or something.”
“No way,” Eloise said with wide eyes.
“But don’t worry. As long as I’m here, no one would dare hurt you,” He said which made Eloise feel relieved.
After they ate, Leon took a bath while Eloise changed her clothes to formal wear. She wore a dress fit enough for offices. After that, she waited for Leon to finish taking a bath.
Eloise felt someone kissing her cheeks which made her open her eyes.
“Wake up, love. I’m done taking a bath and I’m fully cloth,” Leon said as he stares at her sleepy eyes.
“I fell asleep?” Eloise asked.
“You did. It took just a couple of minutes so don’t worry about it. Do you want to sleep some more?” He sweetly asked her.
“Can I?” She asked with cute puppy dog eyes and pout.
“Of course, you can. Love. Do you want us to take a half-day or a day off?” He asked as he lays beside her.
“No. Stop spoiling me. We should be working,” Eloise said as she lightly hit his chest.
“But that’s what I’m supposed to do, love,” He scooped her in his arms and kissed her forehead.
“No. Get up, let’s go,” Eloise said as she tries to escape from his stronghold.
“On second thought, no, we would skip work for today,” He said with finality in his voice.
He hugged her tighter which made Eloise hit him again.
“No. You are the boss. You’re the one who should be setting an example to your employees,” Eloise reminded him.
“Who cares? They can function well without me.”
He closed his eyes and buried his face on her neck.
“Leon.”
Eloise was starting to get angry and frustrated and here he was, laying comfortably while smelling her neck.
“I like your smell. I missed it. Let’s never leave this bed again,” Leon said, still not changing his mind.
“Come on, Leon. You have a meeting today with the Haverstons,” Eloise said as she softly caresses his hair.
“How can I get up when you’re doing that to me? It’s really relaxing, love.”
“Fine. If you really want to skip work today then, please, tell them to move the meeting to tomorrow.”
“I will, love. Just let us stay here for a few more hours,” He said and nestled closer to her.
Gosh. She just couldn’t say no to this man, can she?
They stayed in that position for a few minutes until Eloise felt herself drifting into dreamland.
Eloise felt her neck and face being showered in kisses and when she opened her eyes, Leon’s smuggled face welcomed her.
“Now I know what happens when you wake up first,” Eloise said as she reached up to touch his face.
“Good thing you didn’t have to wait for tomorrow, huh?” Leon teased her.
“Yeah. Did you inform them about the meeting yet?” Eloise asked as she gets up from the bed.
“Yep. Carl has it on control.”
“And who’s Carl?” She asked him.
“My secretary.”
“What position was I hired again?” She asked him as she went inside their walk-in closet to change her dress into something comfortable.
“My wife,” Leon teased.
Eloise couldn’t help but bite her lips to stop the smile creeping from them.
“Very funny. In work, please, love,” She said as she slips on one of Leon’s hoodies that were too big for her.
“This is the first time that you called me to love in this lifetime. I missed it,” Leon said and hugged her back.
She didn’t even hear him get inside their walk-in closet.
“Well don’t expect me to call you that again if you don’t answer my question,” She said.
“My personal assistant, love. You are still as impatient as you were back then,” He said as he nestles his face on her shoulder. “My clothes really look so dang good when you wear them.”
“Then expect me to wear it more than I wear mine,” Eloise joked.
“Oh, I will, love. What do you want to do today?” He asked as he slowly lets her go to change out of his own clothes.
“How about we binge-watch some movies?” Eloise suggested.
“Sure,” Leon agreed.
“Then, I’ll make some popcorn,” Eloise said as she heads out of the walk-in closet.
A hand suddenly stopped her from going out so she looked back and a half-n***d Leon welcomed her.
“What?” She asked him as she tries to look at his face instead of his body.
“Why can’t you look at me, love? It’s not like you haven’t seen this body before,” Leon teased her with a smirk on his lips.
Eloise felt her cheeks burned so she hurriedly got out of the walk-in closet and shut the door. She catches her breath as she hears Leon’s laugh from inside of the room.
Damn him.
