Chapter 26 - Malia (4)

🖤🖤🖤

I wake up with soft kisses on my neck and a gentle rubbing on my arm. When my eyes open, I slowly remember where I am. In the bedroom in Gio's office.

"Hey. Sorry. Didn't want to wake you. But I figured you wanted to go home," he says from behind me, his face at the back of my head.

"How long was I asleep?"

"About an hour."

I hear the muffled thumping of the club's music outside. Funny how I didn't even notice that earlier while we were busy. I sigh. "Yeah… I don't want to worry my mom if she wakes up and I'm not home yet."

"I thought so. I'll drive you."

I don't protest. I don't think I'll be able to walk on my own. "Okay. Just…give me a minute to catch up with myself."

"Are you sore?" He kisses my bare shoulder, his hand rubbing my arm up and down. "Was I too rough?"
