Chapter Eight

When I wake up it’s not yet light outside, the sky through the shades casts a dark shadow inside the room. Slowly I turn, lifting my head to find Sullivan still asleep. He looks so at peace. A Greek statue, with hard edges, and well-defined muscles that makes my mouth water.

I’m mostly laying on top of him my leg draped over his, my arm wrapped around his middle, those perfectly shaped abs pressing against my skin, with my head resting on his firm chest. I don’t remember falling asleep like this, but I’m not complaining about waking up in this position.

My cheek is hot where my skin is pressed up against his and when I try to move, I realize his arms are caging me in, holding me tightly to his side. I know I shouldn’t, but I feel secure, and protected in his arms. I’m content, so content that I almost forget that I nearly died last night. The unpleasant thought sends a shiver down my spine and I nestle even deeper, like I’m trying to embed myself into his skin.

“Are you cold?” Sullivan’s sleepy voice vibrates through me. It’s husky, and strokes something deep in my belly. My feelings for him—hell for all three of them—are spiraling out of control.

“I’m fine,” I whisper, my own voice raspy and my throat sore from swallowing all that ocean water yesterday.

“How is your back? Are you hurting anywhere?” He questions, his voice strong.

“Just sore, but I’ll be fine. I’m stronger than I look,” I tell him as he starts to gently rub his hands up and down my back. I bite my lip to stop myself from making any loud mewling noises.

“Let me see it. I forgot to put some cream on it last night. I can do that now,” he offers, nudging me off of him. I scoot away and lay down on my stomach beside him. This is bad, but oh so good. He peels the blanket away and gently pulls the shirt I’m wearing up.

The cold air of the room kisses my bare skin and I hiss out through my teeth at the sensation.

“Don’t move, I’m getting the cream.” He orders and gets up from the bed. God, he’s so bossy, it’s almost infuriating. I don’t watch him, instead I bury my heated cheeks into the mattress. His scent swirls around me, it’s inside me, in my pores, swirling around my head. I’m supposed to hate him, but hate is the last thing I’m feeling right now.

He reappears a moment later with a tube in his hand. Sitting down next to me, he squeezes some onto his fingers and starts to lightly massage my back. His touch is gentle, and sensual at the same time. It sends small jolts of pleasure up my spine and then back down again, and into my core.

“Oh god, that feels good.” I groan into the mattress without thought.

“I told you I could make you feel better,” he whispers, his hot breath caressing my ear.
