A Ruling Passion – Chapter 1709

To hear a stoic, monkish man suddenly breathing words like that while they were on the bed immediately brought hot flushes to Arianne’s cheeks.

The two of them were about to indulge themselves when Smore suddenly burst through the door. “Rise and shine, lazy bums! Mommy’s a lazy bum!"

Arianne’s instincts took over and she shoved the man above her aside before bolting up straight to make a show of managing her messy nightwear. “Oh please, Mommy’s already awake. Up from her bed right this instant!”

Mark coughed to mask his embarrassment. “Well, Son, I’m afraid this is adult-only. You need to be much older to be... eligible. Regardless, let’s finish our breakfast quickly and get changed. Daddy will be bringing you for a hike.”

Smore’s spirit soared the instant he heard his father promise some playtime. He skipped and hopped excitedly to Mary next the child had forged a habit of pulling his “Granny” into everything, from a good feast to a fun activity. Even at a young age, Smore was big on sharing happiness.
