She breathed in the man's refreshing scent. After gasping for air for a while, Bianca finally settled back into reality.

"Did you have a nightmare?" Luke's cold lips pressed on her forehead. Then, his large hand pushed her messy hair behind her ear. He looked at her fair face and wet eyes. He said softly, "Don't be scared. I'm not going anywhere."

Bianca felt glad. She was glad that it was just a nightmare.

The reality she saw after she opened her eyes was not as bad as her nightmare.

One of her hands grabbed the man's firm waist while another grabbed the shirt in front of the man's chest. She opened her mouth after she heard the man's comforting words, but she did not say anything.

The air in the small room plunged into silence.

After a long while, Bianca's limbs regained feeling. Then, she removed her hands from his waist and chest.

The shirt that Luke was wearing was wrinkled after Bianca let go.

"I'm sorry. I-I'll iron it for you." Aside from this, Bianca

had no other words.

After she said that, she was about to get up.

Luke pulled her back and pressed her in his arms. He said firmly, "Sleep more. It's still early."

The man's hot breath landed on her cheek and ear. The atmosphere between the two of them became sweet and intimate all of a sudden.

Perhaps the temperature today was higher and Luke was beside her, so the air around Bianca felt all warm and toasty.

It was easier for her to fall asleep.

Ever since she was 18, she rarely slept in.

The temperature of Luke's body and the air around him felt safe. Bianca admitted that she would sometimes feel reluctant to give him up.

Whatever. She would just treat this as her being semiconscious. She was allowed to cling to him.

Her trembling eyelashes finally calmed down. Her heavy breathing after she woke up slowly calmed down as well.
