Chapter 44: The Morning After
Jules’ pov
When I blinked my eyes open, the first thing that registered with me, was that I was actually alive.
I didn’t died over night like I had been feared. I had actually survived the night!
The second thought that registered with me, was that a large hand was wrapped around my waist, and in the next moment, I stiffened and sucked in a deep breath as the entire encounter from last night rushed into my mind.
I glanced down at the arm around my waist, heart stuttering in my chest at how large his hand looked down there.
I still found it hard to believe that Blaze hadn’t done anything to me. I found it very hard to believe that I had actually survived the night.
He hadn’t done a thing to me like I had feared... well, aside the small bite he gave me last night before I fell asleep.
His grip was still tight and when I tentatively tried moving around so I could carefully ease out of the grip, a growl vibrating against my back, causing me to instantly stiffened as a squeak flew out my mouth.
My eyes widened in shock and dread, because I assumed he was still asleep, but it seemed like I had thought wrong.
In the next moment, I was being tugged even tighter against the hard chest, causing me to squeal as my heart flew into my throat.
Just like last night, I felt his nose glide over my exposed throat and the curve of my shoulder.
