He doesn’t say anything. All he does is watch me like I was a ticking time bomb. Did I make him that uncomfortable?

I still can’t move my finger. I’m numb after being caught.

“What are you doing?” he finally asks, breaking the silence.

I flushed under his piercing gaze, “I was just about to wake you.” I lie. “Your arm, it’s um—”

Right above my breast. I don’t finish my sentence. When he realizes what I’m trying to say, he moves his arm from on top of me.

“I’m sorry.” he apologizes. “I’m not used to having company in my bed. It may take some time for me to get accustomed to it. If you want, I can separate us with some pillows or even get another bed for the room.”

Of course, he would suggest something like this just because he’d touched me in his sleep.

“It’s okay,” I assure him. “It doesn’t bother me.”

He nods and walks into the bathroom. I bury my head against the pillow.

While he’s showering, I pull my diary out from under the mattress.

You kissed me for the first time. You’ve done the one thing I’ve been dreaming about since I married you. However, I felt hurt when you said my sister’s name. You were thinking of her the entire time. I do not blame you; I know you love her, and I know our marriage was f****d onto you. Still, my heart doesn’t know how to forget your lips on mine. And I don’t think it’s possible to ever forget.

I quickly placed it back under the mattress when I heard the shower turn off.

It was my turn to get dressed for the academy. I pass him as soon as he’s getting out. I held my breath as his scent hit my nose. It’s comforting and intoxicating all at once.
