Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

After setting up the blanket on the couch, Ellen got under it, only showing her face as she looked at the man sitting on the bed. “It’s late already. Let’s turn off the lights and go to sleep. Goodnight.”

Jared didn’t insist she slept on the bed anymore. After he turned off the light, he lay down with his arm as a pillow, but he couldn’t sleep at all. He turned to look at the slender figure on the couch through the moonlight outside the window, and his gaze darkened at once, as there was this burning desire in him.

“Are you asleep?” he asked in a hoarse voice. “Not yet.”

“Are you still afraid?” “Not anymore.” Ellen also felt extremely surprised. It was as though there was a strong magnetic field of safety around this man that could dispel all her fears.

“Sleep well, then,” he said warmly. “Goodnight.”

“Goodnight.” She was exhausted since she hadn’t slept well for several days. At this moment, she had no sense of fear in her mind. So, she felt tired all over and fell asleep in no time after she was completely relaxed.
