Chapter 20
Asher
After cleaning up, I turn off the lights in the kitchen and quietly check on Bea, who’s thankfully sound asleep.
When I return to my room, I find Claire exactly where I left her, with her hair askew and her naked back on full display.
I call her name, but she doesn’t respond.
She’s completely passed out. Sitting on the bed, I contemplate waking her, but when I study her lovely features—her flushed face, her angelic lips squished against the mattress, her exquisite lashes resting peacefully against her skin—I can’t find it in me to disturb her.
This woman has my handprints branded on her ass. How can I possibly kick her out of my bed?
Though I could lie here all night and watch the rise and fall of her back as she breathes, I cover both of us with the sheets. I’ll let her sleep a little, then I’ll carry her to her room.
In one minute.
Just one minute…
