(Penny’s POV)
Morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a warm, golden glow on the room which I tried to avoid for so long until I couldn’t anymore.
I stirred lazily when it became apparent that I was not going to sleep anymore, and I rolled and stretched and tugged, feeling the softness of the sheets beneath me.
I was alone in the bed, with Maximo nowhere in sight, but that didn’t really surprise me.
Matter of fact, I had kind of been anticipating it anyway.
We had signed the contract after all, and knowing Maximo, he would not take such liberties anymore, even if there was the slightest chance that he wanted to.
But this was good.
This was exactly what I needed, the harsh reminder that this was what it was supposed to be… a transactional relationship and nothing more
