Chapter 39 Death By Challenge

• Henri waited for her to answer, wondering how she would react. Although already married and had been sharing a bed more than once, he was aware she was still figuring out her feelings for him.
• He wanted to give her space and time, but since those three deadly words had been freed from his mouth, there was no backing out now.
• After a full minute, she didn’t reply, much less move and this informed him of the real situation he was in: his wife had actually fallen asleep and she definitely didn’t hear him say those words.
