Chapter 24

Hannah

After my friends have left, I sneak into Tobias’s bedroom. It’s where we both sleep, but I still don’t

consider his mansion mine. The contract between us prevents me from seeing us as equals, so when I look at things-the couch, the bed, or the Tesla-I see a tag with Tobias’s name. However, that isn’t the point or related to what I’m doing here.

I’m here because my hands are itching to touch Tobias. Not in the “sexy I’m yours” way, but in an “I miss you and I’m embarrassingly in love with you” way.

With his brown hair falling into his face and his eyelashes fanned out over his flawless cheeks, he is breathtaking to behold. Sure, he might be curled up like a cheese doodle, but he is still beautiful!

As quietly as possible, I shed my clothes on the floor. I then get under the covers and slide closer to Tobias. My heart thuds faster in response, and I hesitate. Am I a creep for hugging him in his sleep?

Probably, but who cares?!
