Annie felt her cat jump up on the bed and waited as he curled comfortably beside her. She pulled him closer, finally admitting that she was truly terrified. Someone could be lurking just outside her home. Someone who wanted to rape, torture, and murder her, and suddenly it was all too much to bear. In seconds, all of the emotions she’d been holding back the entire evening came bubbling up to the surface. She turned her head into her pillow in an attempt to muffle the sobs that came with no warning.

Martin jumped from the bed, as though he knew he was in over his head, and began scratching and meowing loudly at the door. Within seconds Drake was there, seated beside her.

“I know, Annie. I know you’re scared.”

Without turning her face from her pillow, she grabbed his arm and pulled it around her.

Drake lay down behind her and wrapped his muscled arm around her waist, pulling her close to him. She trembled, shaking with the sobs that wracked her body and soul. She heard murmurs of soft endearments and reassurances as he held her tightly. Her tears wouldn’t stop, and she turned toward Drake. He held her closely with one arm while running his other hand gently through her hair.

“Let go of it, Annie. You don’t have to be strong all the time. I’m here,” he murmured.

Annie cried, even after realizing Drake’s strong arms did much to ease her fears. She tried to tell herself she didn’t want this, only needed it for the moment. Too exhausted to analyze it any further, the tears finally subsided to quiet sniffles. She needed to feel safe again, and if she knew nothing else about Drake, she knew this man would do whatever he could to make that happen. The thought eased her troubled mind—allowed her to relax in the solace of his embrace.
