Chapter 10

• I had no idea how long I slept. When I woke up to my pressing needs, the sky was dark outside. Theo had his hands around me, and I could hear his gentle and rhythmic snoring. I quickly and gently pulled his hands away and hurried to the toilet. I returned to the bed a short while later to find him awake.
• He stared at me, and his radiant smile formed from ear to ear. It was infectious, and I couldn't help but smile back, despite the memories of our earlier tryst. I was feeling a lot better, and I wanted to be mad at him for what he put me through. Sadly, I couldn't. That warm smile and beautiful golden eyes of his could charm a viper if it were even possible.
• I advanced to the bed and lay down beside him. We faced each other, and the only thing we heard was our breathing.
