CHAPTER 36

S OMETHING WAKES ME UP—NOT SURE WHAT, BUT IT MUST BE outside my own head, because the second I open my eyes, I feel Lukas stir behind me, and the slow glide of his warm body against mine under the covers.

I’m tucked into him, his heavy body wrapped around mine like I’m a pillow or a beloved stuffed animal, something for him to use, a means to a better rest. One of his legs is thrown over both of mine, and his chest is hot against my spine, pressing the right half of me into the mattress. Even in sleep, his arm is clinched around my waist, making deep breaths impossible. I can’t recall ever being this close to anyone. Objectively, I am uncomfortable, overheated, and held within an inch of my life.

I love it.
