Chapter 33

Justice stared into the dark, his eyelids heavy. Holly’s breath tickled his skin, but he didn’t dare move.

Shutting his eyes, he tried to wade through the mix of emotions that swarmed within him.

He never should have come to her room. Yet, he was very happy he had. His first sexual experience with a human female had blown his mind. He never could have imagined it to be so intense, so incredibly gratifying. He’d been hesitant that he wouldn’t perform correctly even though he’d been schooled in all things human before being sent to retrieve the Saviors. Still, he’d let her take the lead. He hadn’t been lying when he’d told her to show him what she wanted done.

The guilt of his actions lay just outside the boundaries of bliss they’d created. The lies, the deceit … if he stood in Holly’s shoes and ever found out about any of it … he’d be angry beyond words, probably a little frightened and very hurt.

Don’t leave.

He didn’t think he could, even if he had wanted to.

As the sweat dried on his body, he felt the chill in the air. He pulled the comforter from Holly’s side over them.

His mind whirled with thoughts of what tomorrow would entail. Would they have sex again? Would Holly think it had been a mistake? Would things be awkward between them?

He pushed the thoughts aside.

Whatever tomorrow brought, he’d deal with it then. However, for now, he wanted to remain exactly where he lay, both physically and mentally.
