Chapter Eleven

Dahlia Aldridge

Naps don’t fix everything, but they sure as hell fixed a lot. Especially when they were with Sterling Gates, curled up on the large sofa in my bedroom while watching a rerun of some home improvement show I had no doubt seen ten times. Still, when I woke up several hours later, I found myself staring into his handsome, sleeping face as I laid pressed against his chest. I knew we had to get up soon, but honestly, I could live with missing the bonfire tonight and all the drama that was sure to accompany it. As long as Sterling stayed right here with me.

I was a bit worried about him. I could see his lip was slightly more purple than usual, and I would bet he had injured it in practice. I thought it was amazing how hard they worked, but I also didn’t want the twins to completely exhaust themselves. Speaking of which, I was surprised that Lincoln had not found his way over here. I’d come back with the two of them, and the second had mentioned stopping home really quick.

Hearing a light snore, I lifted my head and smiled, finding the man in question laying on my bed, knocked out. Nevermind. He had made it here.

“Sterling,” I murmured, gently running my fingers up his chest to his neck. He made a small noise, his arms tightening more firmly around me before one azure eye squinted open, offering me a curious, sleepy look.

“Go back to sleep, sugar,” he mumbled.

“I can’t,” I teased, “I need to get up. We have the bonfire to go to.”

Sterling grunted, throwing a large leg over mine and squeezing me tighter against him as I let out a small laugh. Breathing out, I tilted my head towards the television, zoning out slightly as I turned in his arms to get more comfortable. The late afternoon sun was breaking into the room through my windows, and I was so cozy, I seriously considered just deciding to not get up.

I loved this event, but knowing Abby would be there, and considering everything else that had happened this weekend… I just wasn’t positive it was a good idea.

My face flushed as Sterling mumbled in his sleep, adjusting his hold on me as my eyes widened at how hard he was against me. I would like to say I didn’t arch back against him just a little bit, but my skin rolled with heat as he grew harder against my ass, his lips pressed against my neck. I know this was ‘morning wood’ or whatever, but it was turning me on like crazy, which was not good for anyone, least of all me.

“Dahlia.” His voice was deep and husky, still filled with sleep, and I wasn’t actually positive he was awake enough to realize he was pretty much kissing my neck. One of his large arms was locked around my waist, but his other hand was tangled in my hair that I’d pulled down from its ponytail before falling asleep.
