Chapter 10
Quinn
I CAN FEEL HIM
I don’t have to open my eyes to know Xander’s still here. I can feel him. Smell him. Hear his breathing. I can even sense his eyes fixed on me. Yet, instead of it being uncomfortable, it’s the exact opposite.
Slowly, without bothering to check where I’m going because I’ve done it so many times in the dark, I roll out of bed and make my way to the bathroom, not bothering to flip on the light.
What time is it? How long have I been sleeping?
My bursting bladder makes me think it’s been hours, but why would he stay for this long?
The last thing I remember is him pressing his strong fingers into my foot. It was heavenly. And they don’t hurt right now like they normally would after such a long day.
As soon as I’m done washing my hands, I pad quietly back into my room and crawl into bed. I hate that I’m still in my work clothes, but I’m too tired to care. Besides, I can’t strip off in front of Xander. Well, I could, but I’m not sure he’d appreciate it.
“You’re still here,” I whisper, getting comfy again.
He’s silent for a moment. “I am.”
I let out a quiet hum. “Okay,” I reply before letting myself relax and drift off to sleep.
