Chapter Twenty-Six – THE RISING PART ONE

Blaze let out an awkward chuckle and it woke me up. I sat up with a startled expression. 

I had somehow entwined his legs in mine and my hand felt very warm, which has been resting fondly under his shirt. 

I had been groping his muscular abdominal muscles in my sleep!

'I am sorry! You are just so.. hot'. I giggled.

I then realised my words and blushed profusely. 

He simply gave me a deep throaty laugh in response, blushing slightly. 

'I do naturally run hot, I guess you have found yourself a free heater'. He teased lightly. 

I then dislodged my legs from his and my breath caught in my throat as he looked at me in such a pure and sweet way. 

He then frowned deeply and stroked my injured cheek, that had barely even begun to heal. 

'Anna really did a number on you. We need to get a poultice on that'. His voice sounded more pained than I actually felt right now.
