CHAPTER SIXTEEN

The bed felt as if it was as wide as her trailer, and when Nicolette crawled into it wearing nothing but a tank top and her panties, she wondered what it would be like for this to be her life. She could stop running. She could stop ducking out of different identities, she could have a real home. She could have it with this man.

Sebastian came into the bedroom after she was under the covers, and with the lights turned down. He was simply a dark shape moving through the room. It was a strange moment. She should have felt menaced, but instead, he made her think of a dark guardian angel, something that followed after her and kept her safe no matter where she was. He smelled of juniper soap, a fresh and piney scent, and it made her smile.

“Is this all right?” he asked softly, and she sighed.

“Yes…yes, it is.”

He was silent, but he seemed relieved when he slid under the covers with her. He was stripped to his boxers, and in the chill of the air conditioned room, she was drawn instinctively to his warmth. At her first touch, he made a small noise, but then he settled next to her as if they had been sleeping together for years. Her body seemed to fit the curve of his. Her back rested against his chest, and her head snugged under his chin. One heavy muscled arm draped over her hip, and she reached down to hold his hand.

Slowly, their breathing evened out. She was lulled by his deep and even breaths until she was nearly asleep herself. She was so peaceful and relaxed that the words slipped out almost without her knowledge.

“Could we do this forever?” she wondered, and in her dreamlike state, she wasn't aware that Sebastian had gone still and silent behind her.

“We could,” he whispered after a long moment. “I think I would like nothing better.”

Nicolette, however, had drifted off to sleep, and her only response was a soft and innocent breath.
