CHAPTER 11

NYAH

I try to stretch as I slowly wake, but the two arms around me tighten. Fraser’s warm breath tickles my neck, and I smile. One of his hands is under my shirt holding my breast while the other is between my thighs, cupping my sex. His possessive touch makes me feel cherished and wanted in a way I could have never dreamed of.

“I’ll never be able to sleep without you now. You’ve ruined me,” he says and then kisses my neck.

“Careful what you wish for,” I tease him because it’s all too tempting for me to stay right here with him. We’d be safe here.

Unless I brought trouble to his door.

“I know what I want.” There’s honesty in his words, and somehow I believe him. But does he really know what he’s getting into?

“I have a lot of baggage,” I remind him. It’s easy to get lost with him out here in the woods and forget the past.

“You don’t have any baggage.” He turns me to face him, and I stare into his eyes. “Even after all the shit you’ve been given, you’re still so damn sweet. You haven’t let the world and its bullshit rip you apart.”

“Is that what you think it’s done to you?” I place my hand on his bare chest over his heart, and I swear I can almost feel the sadness he carries there.

“I’m not so sure anymore,” he says before leaning in to kiss me.

I never expected this to be so easy. There’s no awkward morning after; instead, Fraser is being himself. He’s not pushing me away when part of me thinks maybe he should be. He locked himself away here so he couldn’t get hurt. Now he’s let Mina and me in along with the devil chasing us.

“Nyah?” I hear Mina’s happy voice chirp my name.

She usually sleeps like a rock, but when she wakes, she’s ready to bounce right out of bed. Unless she wants some cuddles.

“Bear?” Mina says, and Fraser smiles when he hears her call for him next.

I prop myself up on my elbows and realize that I don’t remember moving off the couch last night. I’m guessing Fraser carried me into the spare room so we could sleep together.

“Are you dressed?” I quickly ask him, knowing it’s only a matter of time before she finds us. I don’t wait for an answer as I lift the blanket and see that he does in fact have sweatpants on.

“I put them on after I helped you into my shirt and carried you to bed.”

“Smart.”

“Told you. I got you guys.”

The door slowly opens so Mina can poke her head in, and when she sees us, her face brightens. “Hi!” She bursts through when she spots us and crawls her way up the bed like a monkey. “We cuddlin’?” She wiggles down in between Fraser and me.

“I was going to make you ladies breakfast,” Fraser offers, and Mina nods.

“I help you?”

“If you want.”

Mina gives me a snuggly hug before she’s hopping off the bed.
