Current mood – Indecisive

Regret level – Through the roof

I haven’t even opened my eyes yet but can feel the migraine building before I do. I roll over, trying to get closer to the wall touching the side of my bed, needing the feeling of being enclosed. I meet a wall but not the brick kind. The wall I press up against is warm, heat radiating from it. I open one eye and my hand flies to my mouth. For fuck sake! This is getting beyond a joke now. I’m in Ash’s bed again, only it appears this time I didn’t disturb his sleep, I just got in next to him. I look down at myself, relieved to find my pyjamas still in place. I scoot away to the other end as quietly as I can. If I can escape before he wakes up then I’m home free, he’ll never know and won’t have another story to hold over me. I reach the edge and sit up –

“Where are you going?”

Busted.

He rolls over to face me, propping his head up with his arm, torso exposed, ensuring I can’t look away.

“Were you hoping I wouldn’t notice? Because I’ve been awake a long time, you know in case you tried to kill me in my sleep.”

I fall back against the mattress, cursing as I do.

“Ash, I, you’re probably sick of this but again I’m sorry. I don’t know why I keep doing it.” I don’t look at him, my eyes remain on the ceiling.

I turn to face him, mirroring his position as I rest on my own arm. “No, months could go by without it happening. Maybe it’s you, I’m allergic or something.”

He laughs “Or maybe you’re so attracted to me and suppressing it that at night your subconscious wants to act out all the kinky shit you keep locked away.”

I blush, because he may be on to something. He sees it though. “No shit. That’s why you’re doing it more? Because I’m such a stud? Irresistible?” he’s incredulous.

“Well, it wouldn’t be because you’re modest would it?”

He grins “Just playing to my strengths. You can’t touch my brain, but my body…” he opens his arms wide in invitation and flashes those dimples.

I feel myself blush. Torso and dimples at stupid o’clock in the morning? I’m so screwed.

“You don’t have to go you know. You can sleep in here if you need to be next to me so desperately.”

As I contemplate that option he takes that moment of indecision and grabs me, pulling me down and against him until we’re spooning. I’m rigid for a moment until I relax into being held by him. It’s such a welcome feeling, comforting beyond belief. I’ve had more affection in the last few weeks than I’ve had in an entire year. I didn’t realise how much I needed it.

I can’t close my eyes, though. I’m now wide awake, savouring the fact that his arm is around me, his
