The scent of citrus with a sugary undertone fills my nostrils, and I breathe in deeper. I’m still partially asleep, but the more seconds that tick by, the more my other senses pick up, like the warmth pressed against me, the heavy breathing of someone fast asleep, the torso my arm is wrapped around.

My eyes open, only for me to slam them shut. It’s bright in my room, probably closer to noon than it is morning.

“Mmm,” the body next to me groans, and the events of last night come barreling through my mind. I open my eyes, slower this time, and stare at the back of Val’s head, the blonde curls she had last night now flattened and flaring over my pillow.

She’s wearing my shirt, and I wonder if she’ll remember I was turned around while she put it on.

No, probably not.

I glance down at my bare chest and slowly pull my arm from around her. My morning wood is currently situated to where it’s poking into her ass, and I ease back as carefully as I can without waking her in the process. It doesn’t help that I sleep in my boxers. I don’t even own pajamas.

I manage to scoot a few inches before I notice her breathing has quieted and her arms have tensed.

Shit.

“Good morning,” I say to her back. I sit up in the bed, cringing with the change in blood flow to my head. I didn’t sleep well last night, and not that she remembers, but neither did Valerie. She was up trembling most of the night, and at first I thought it was best not to touch her. To keep my distance and wait the trip out, but she panicked when I wasn’t in her sight. She wanted me. Needed me. And so for the last three hours or so before she fell asleep, I held her. Stroking her hair, whispering reassurances, rubbing her back, anything I could to calm those tremors. I hadn’t planned for that to happen, but I won’t lie and say it didn’t feel good to be needed. For once in my life.

Valerie plants her palms on the mattress and slowly lifts herself into a sitting position, scooting toward the opposite corner of the bed. She pulls her hair over one shoulder and peers down at the shirt she’s wearing, my shirt, clearly questioning how it got there.

“Did we…” She turns her head toward me, biting her lip as she waits for me to answer the unfinished question.

I shake my head, and her body deflates, with her shoulders sinking and a long breath blowing over her lips.

“How are you feeling?”

“Headache,” she croaks out, moving her gaze so she’s no longer looking at me. “Do you have any water?”

“Oh, yeah, of course.” I climb off the bed and don’t bother putting on any more clothes before heading downstairs to grab Valerie a glass of water. She says nothing as I leave the room, and disappointment coils in my chest for a moment. The time for me being the hero is over.
