-Jax- I woke up earlier than Kat the next day, seizing the perfect opportunity to admire my slumbering fiancé, who always appeared so adorable when she slept. While Kat believed I called her “kitten” due to her name, it was actually because of her sleeping habits. She had a tendency to curl up like a little cat, and her serene expression while asleep never failed to warm my heart. I reached out and gently stroked her bare shoulder, relishing the warmth of her skin and the slight quickening of my heartbeat. “I can feel you staring,” Kat suddenly mumbled, though she kept her eyes closed. Her remark brought a smile to my lips, but she made no move to look at me. “Can’t I admire my beautiful fiancé?” I teased gently. She sighed and retreated further under the blanket. “Is that a no?”
