I let my body sink deeper into the soft mattress, every muscle heavy and boneless, like I had been w thought. I didn\u2019t have the energy to move, didn\u2019t even want to. My eyes stayed closed as I lingered in gentle, humming warmth still spreading through me, slow and sweet, like waves retreating after a storm.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t pass out on me, bunny,\u201d he murmured, his voice close I felt the light brush of his fingers against my cheek, tender, almost careful, as if he was grounding me back into the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
