voice.

She turned to look at him, and her eyebrows furrowed when she saw he was sprawled out on a recliner next to the bed, a

light blanket in his lap. From the way his dark hair stuck up and he rubbed his eyes, she could guess that her nightmare

had woken him up too. He wore a tight tank-top that strained against his broad chest, and she tried not to think about

how beautiful he looked half-asleep.
