During their marriage , Elizaveta noticed a pattern whilst in bed with Roderich.
If he faced away from her whilst they lay down , he simply wanted to sleep.
If he faced her and wrapped his arm around her waist , he wanted to talk to her and cuddle for a while.
And if he moved her hair and started kissing her neck whilst whispering her name sensually , he wanted something else.

Elisaveta sneaked into their bedroom. She could see the figure of her husband lying in bed, his back turned towards the door. He had gone to bed early tonight. So she put out the candle in her hand as soon as she had reached their four-poster.

She snuck under the blanket. For a moment, she listened to her husband's didn't sound like he was asleep already. So she turned towards him and cuddled up against his back.

"You didn't have to wait up for me," she whispered. He had looked so tired when he had gone to bed and the way he was lying in bed, facing away from her, told her clearly that he wanted to sleep.

He turned around in her arms and looked at her. "But I wanted to," he whispered. It sounded like he had been asleep before she had entered. Lovingly, he wrapped an arm around her waist. "We didn't have much time for each other today," he went on.

Elisaveta could feel her cheeks getting a bit hot. Unsure what to do, she pecked his lips. "Thank you," she whispered back. She purred lowly as she rested her head against his chest. It was still a strange sensation but at times like this, she liked to feel like a woman, feel protected in her husband's tender arms.

He started caressing her back softly. She could hear him hum a soft tune, the one she never had heard him play but only hum in bed to her and her alone. "I'm sorry," he whispered after a while. "I should pay you more attention. I missed talking to you."

His hand moving up her back sent shivers down her spine. "It's alright," she whispered back between two kisses. He brushed her hair away from her neck. One lock got tangled between his fingers but instead of freeing himself, he started to play with her hair.

Her ears started to burn as he breathed her name in them. She knew so well where this was headed and she didn't mind. He was right. They hadn't had much time for each other lately. A long, deep kiss took all her sleepiness away.

"You know," he panted after they finally broke away from each other for a moment. "I'm not tired at all anymore."
