In the morning, I awaken to find Alaric’s leg draped heavily over my hip and his warm breath tickling my shoulder. It surprises me. But it doesn’t bother me.

I spot a bottle of bourbon and his laptop on the side table across the room. I’m certain those weren’t there when I fell asleep last night. That meant he left the room to go get them. Then came back. To my bed.

I’m not entirely sure what to make of that. Or what to make of the entire day yesterday. It was eventful, to say the least. And I saw a sweeter, tender side to Alaric when he ran me the bath and washed my back. There’s no question in my mind that he was genuinely sorry about what had happened with Sim.

I carefully extricate myself from his leg and retrieve my bathrobe from the hook in the bathroom. Then I open his laptop and read what he apparently wrote while I slept.

Whew. I have to stop and fan myself several times. Things are heating up between Charles and Erica. For real, not just in his dreams. I wonder, though, what Erica thinks of what has transpired. She’s just had her first orgasm and a pretty good one at that.

I glance over at Alaric, who is still sound asleep. He hasn’t moved so much as a muscle. I begin to type.

Erica was surprised to find Charles still in the bed with her as the first rays of dawn seeped into the room. Of course, this was his bedroom and his bed so best not to read too much into it. Perhaps she should be surprised to find herself still in his bed. He could have carried her to her own room sometime in the night. She moved her legs to test how sore she was after yesterday’s accident. Yes, definitely sore.

But her body felt different in another way, too. She now understood what her sister was always going on about. What Charles had done to her last night, it had been … exquisite. That was the only word she could come up with at the moment. Exquisite, and even that was inadequate. She knew about orgasms. She might have been a virgin when her husband came back from the war, but she wasn’t completely naive. She hadn’t expected one to feel so intense though. She had nearly lost all control over her body. Her mind, even. His touches had sent her to a place where she no longer cared about anything, where the entire world was shrunk down to just this one moment, this one need for pleasure.

She had loved it.

She carefully turned to face the slumbering Charles, wincing again as her bruised limbs protested any movement at all. In sleep, his face was relaxed. All the tension of his days was gone, all the memories of war—she imagined—put away for a few hours. He had come back with a scarred slash across his face. It extended from his ear to his chin.
