Chapter # 38
"Rebecca…" I heard him calling me, shifting after being woken up by my sound.. I bit my cheeks as I remained motionless.
I didn't dare to utter a sound and quickly wiped my tears. He groggily rubbed his eyes and lifted his head as I hummed in response looking at him. “Yes?”
"You okay?" He asked with narrowed eyes as it was difficult to see my face in darkness.
"Yes.. " I replied faintly. He shifted and held his hands out to me.
"Come. Sorry I didn't give you any space to lay." He apologized sweetly, pulling me down.
"It's okay. You sleep, I am not sleepy." I said.
A squeak escaped my lips when he held my wrist and in a swift moment pulled me close to him.
He let out a quiet laugh and said, "Who said anything about sleeping?"
He wrapped his hands around me and nuzzled me and began to whisper, "It's nice to hold onto something…"
I closed my eyes and curled my toes. I inhaled deeply and held my urge to hold him close inside me.
