Chapter 18

Hundreds Of Tattered Ribbons

Four hours of lying awake beneath the soundly sleeping, warm, gloriously half naked body of Dominic was torture. Luckily I had managed three hours before he slipped uninvited into my bed. But three hours, on top of the bone shattering exhaustion I was already feeling, was simply not enough. I felt like I'd been run over by a Mack truck, and to top it off I was sure I was having a mental, as well as an emotional, breakdown.

My mind was running around in circles. One minute ecstatic to have his body against mine, the next horrified that I'd felt elation at all, when he clearly was going to trample my heart, or at the very least continue to be called away by the other woman. I'd started calling her that some time around five in the morning. No man drops everything when called twice for anything other than a short skirt.

Yet, he came to find me, crawled into bed next to me, repeated he wasn't going to let go, and has held me all night since. We started out spooning as I had been curled in a ball on my side when he arrived. His body wrapping around mine, arm over waist, face nestled in the dip between my head and neck, his legs mirroring the position of mine. We couldn't have got closer if we'd tried. But even when it was clear he was sound asleep, I still couldn't extricate myself.

The first attempt had him rolling over and taking me with him, my whole body covering his for a second or two, and then gently tucked under his arm and against his side. I was sure he didn't wake, but even asleep the man could organise and demand. His hand grabbed my thigh, slipped down to my knee and brought my leg up and over his body. I was so stunned I stayed there for a solid hour, or at least I told myself that was why. It certainly had nothing to do with how good it felt.

That was my story and I was sticking to it.

The second time I tried to roll away, he simply shifted his body, so it was him pinning me, his leg over my thighs, his head on my chest. The same position we had woken up in the day before. This time I didn't try to escape. This time I just let silent tears stream down my face - not in defeat, but in a confused tumble of emotions that included pain, longing, desolation and desire. I was in so much trouble it wasn't funny anymore.

By the time I knew he had woken, the tears had thankfully stopped, but I hadn't been able to sleep at all. This was not good. This was incredibly bad. Yet I had never felt as alive as I did with Dominic by my side. The injustice of that was not lost on me.

From one second sleeping peacefully, to the next, his entire body came alert.
