Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

I was baffled. "Literal sense? What are you talking about?"

"Back at the orphanage, me, Carter, and her often slept in the same bed, but it was just sleeping. That's the literal sense," Colin explained through gritted teeth. "When I'm with you, and we have our baby, that's the other sense."
