I wrap one arm around her waist and one under the pillow behind her head, and I swear it’s one of the best feelings in the world It’s so rip hten my hold around her Unashamedly, I bury my face in her hair and breathe in deep Even her hair smells like wildflowers

I pull my face away so she can hear me “Is this okay?”

It takes her a moment to answer, and I’m just about to move away from her when she replies, “Yes” Then adds, “Thank you”

I use my chin to push away her hair that’s stuck in the prickles on my face As ht her, I still ask, “Your dreams… do you want to talk about them?”

Her fingers dig into my forearms for a moment before they relax

“There’s not much to talk about” She stops and pulls in a breath, her ribs expanding against my arm “I don’t re scared and hurt”

The painful sound of her voice has , and I silently curseher tormentor to hold her, is beyondand screa scared and praying she never sees ainsther

“I’m sorry,” I mutter I know I’ve said it before, but no matter how h There’s nothing I could ever do to make up for what I’ve done

She’s quiet after that, so I stay quiet as well After a while, her breathing evens out, and I know she’s asleep Sleep isn’t soht Not only because I literally have the girl ofinsidethe pain flash in her eyes and her screary that she took over my dreams and leftI was the reason she was in a coma because of some weird obsession, I finally knohat it feels like to hold soive my life for it

And Lord fucking help o

I COME AWAKE TO feel hot breath ondown, there’s a head of thick brown hair spread across ht before flash through my head

My arm is still around her waist, but my palm has moved down to just above her ass My other hand is on top of hers that’s lying flat against my lower stomach My dick is as hard as iron I bla lie It’s froht

She shifts in her sleep, and a waroose bumps to appear Never has a woman affected me so quickly

I know she just woke up because her chest stops rising and falling I hold still, not sure how she’s going to take being wrapped around ht for our cozy position I should have taken her back to her bed once she fell asleep and I knew her drea back, but I’ her in my bed

After a few tense moments, her head moves, and she lifts her eyes to mine Uncertainty pulls her brows into a frown
