Duke's Point of View

I had forgotten that I was sleeping with Thandi when I came around from my sleep. She had her small hand lightly pressed onto my right cheek, almost like she wanted to move it, but was afraid of waking me up.

I opened my eyes and came face to face with her gorgeous face. She was absolutely beautiful. Everything about her features was exquisite. Her button nose, her long eyelashes, her luscious full lips; I could stare at her the whole day. I cleared my throat.

"Good morning", I said and was delighted to see the effect my voice (thick with sleep) had on her. She looked like a deer caught in headlights. She didn't know what to do with herself. She tapped her fingers lightly on my face. Eventually, she cleared her throat.

"Good morning Duke Simmons. What is your virgin self doing in my bed?" she asked and I burst out laughing. This girl was so cute.

I sat up and just watched her. Mentally, I wasn't ready to let her go, but I knew I had to.

She got out of bed and got two bottles of water from the bar fridge. She threw one at me with a sly smile on her face, but I caught it easily. She frowned at me.

"I was hoping your reflexes were shot so that the bottle could hit your face", she said and I laughed again. I honestly couldn't help myself, which is why I wanted to berate myself for always laughing at what she said.

"You are adorable", I said to help myself recoil from the moment. I gave her a once over and saw her toned legs in the pyjama shorts she was wearing and I wondered if she worked out. Not only was her face glorious, her body was amazing.

She walked over to the bed and sat cross-legged, covering her legs with the grey throw.

"So you wanna know why we were sleeping together...", I began and she nodded. "You had an episode in the bathroom of the restaurant we were at last night and you started nosebleeding. We had to stop the blood and get you out of there before anyone filmed anything. Of course, you started hallucinating, if I should call it that. Your brother didn't want you to sleep alone, so he ordered me to sleep here with you, to keep you safe, so to speak", I explained and she smiled at me. For a second, I was lost. Her smile was everything. "Your dimples are beautiful", I said, trying not to sound awestruck.

"You're always complimenting me", she said and stood up. She threw the empty bottle away and we heard a light knock on the door. She went to answer and I listened intently in case it was Mdu and I needed to quickly jump out of bed.

"Good morning, I am Tash. Breakfast is being served in the dining area", I heard a woman say and then I heard the door shut. Thandi appeared again.

"So, there's breakfast. Wanna come with?" she asked me and I almost danced with excitement that she asked me out, but I knew it wasn't real. Instead, I got out of bed and walked up to her.

"Let me go wash my face and brush my teeth and I'll meet you here in 10 minutes. Is that alright?" I asked and she nodded. She looked so beautiful that I couldn't help myself, so I gently stroked her cheek and lightly ran my index finger on her bottom lip. My manhood throbbed and I felt her shiver. I was glad to find out that the touch had the same effect on her as it had on me.

I walked out the room and went to grab a quick shower. Mdu was still snoring away, so I showered quickly and got dressed in 10 minutes. Once I was done showering, I woke him up and told him about breakfast. I left the room just when he was going to shower to go get Thandi.
