She just wants to cuddle so she's going to invasively make that happen. No she does not care that he's reading a book, he is in bed next to her and he should be holding her. Head on his chest, she absolutely expects him to start reading out loud because the vibrations are soothing.

the old book lay open on his lap while he read quietly, being fully aware katherine wasn't sleeping yet. as soon as she cuddled closer, he gently laid an arm around her waist before turning his head to press a soft kiss on her forehead.
he knew that she wanted him to read, although he also knew she probably wouldn't know what he was reading. he started to read out loud nonetheless.
