I Can't Resist

"Did you forget to move it somewhere? Look again!" Ed ordered, furrowing his brow. Tita was the one who knew where everything was. Ed couldn't ask anyone else.

The terrace was cooler, sheltered from the sun but receiving a gentle sea breeze, and the sound of waves was not too loud.

"You fell asleep after making me restless." Ed grumbled. He was irritated by how peaceful Liz looked after indulging his desires.
