Chapter 22
Holt
Pulling her to the couch and arranging us in a way that was comfortable for the both of us, was something that I had needed to do all night. My fingers finally stopped twitching with the need to pull her closer.
Soon, she was breathing deeply and I knew she had fallen asleep.
Between the wine, working all week on her feet, and the chaos of the day I was surprised she had lasted as long as she did.
When I was pretty sure she wasn’t going to wake up, I stand.
I pull the blanket off of her and lift her up to bring her to bed.
I slide over to the middle of the bed and pull her towards me so that her back is against my front. I’m cursing the fact that she is wearing so many clothes, but at least I get to feel her soft curves against me. Wrapping my arm around her, I breathe in the scent of her shampoo and fall asleep.
