The following day, Camryn stirred from her sleep because of Callum’s piercing stare.
She woke up because she felt someone staring at her.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Callum’s dark eyes. After blinking, she covered his eyes with her hand and closed her own.
She said, “Why are you looking at me like that, darling?
“It’s great that you’re not into cannibalism. I’m worried because you look like you want to gobble me up.”
It was not the first time Callum did that.
There had been a few times when he would just stare at her after waking up.
Even if she were asleep, her instincts would alert her to wake up.
Camryn was startled by his intense gaze when they first shared a bed after being legally married and had thought a burglar entered her house.
She was not used to sharing a bed with Callum yet and had forgotten they were now husband and wife.
When she finally recognized him, her reflex was to wrap herself with the blanket tightly and kick him off the bed.
Callum was shocked by her kick.
The moment Camryn came to her senses and remembered that they were married, she was shocked too. She quickly got out of bed to help him up.
At that time, she smiled and said, “I forgot we got married. I kicked you off the bed because I thought you were trying to take advantage of me.”
Callum was rendered speechless. He then replied, “When have I taken advantage of you? Even if we aren’t officially married, we’re still engaged. Is there a problem with me lying in your bed?”
“It’s still early, about six o’clock. I usually wake up at this hour.”
Callum would go for a morning run or work out at the gym once awake.
The York brothers had similar habits.
“Sleep in, honey. It’s your day off.”
Camryn closed her eyes. “You should sleep more too. You’ve lost some weight.”
Callum laughed. “I lost weight on purpose. I gained some weight from overeating. I have to maintain my nice body to keep my wife head over heels for me. That way, you won’t be attracted to other men.”
“Who else will I love if not you?”
