Chapter 38

After a long while, I pulled away far enough to look at his handsome face. It looked so relaxed and content that I felt pride well up in me at having been the cause of it. He briefly opened his drowsy eyes to look at me before tightening his arms indicating he was not ready for me to leave just yet. I willingly laid my head on his chest and allowed him to hold me for a while longer just soaking up the warm feel of his body pressed against, and inside me. Before I knew it, it was time to get up since I was pretty sure lunch was over and I didn't want people to start wandering in to look for us.

"Reed?" I whispered as I tapped his arm lightly.

No response.

"Reed," I said louder trying a light smack on his arm.

A light snore was my reply on that one making me panic a little.

"REED!" I snapped louder and shoved at him.

"Huh?" he muttered finally as he drowsily opened his eyes to look around.
