Chapter 176: A some what peaceful morning?
Jean lay curled against Logan’s chest, her body still tingling, her heart still racing... but for the first time, not from fear.
His arm was wrapped around her back, protective yet loose, letting her move if she wanted. She didn’t. His other hand played with strands of her hair, occasionally pressing a kiss to the crown of her head. No words were exchanged. There was no need for any.
Until Jean spoke, her voice barely a whisper.
"That was... the first time I didn’t feel... afraid."
Logan’s hand paused in her hair.
She felt him exhale softly, almost like relief, before he kissed her again.
"You never have to be afraid of me."
She swallowed.
"I didn’t think I could... feel anything like that ever again. But you made me forget everything, even if just for a little while."
