Chapter 51 The nanny chapter fourteen

  Efua stayed downstairs watching the news for a long time. Too long.

  She kept telling herself she’d go upstairs at the next commercial break, but she never did. Jason didn’t leave either, so she kept thinking she didn’t want to be rude and leave before he was ready.

  The truth was she just didn’t want to leave him—at all.

  So she ended up staying far too long. She knew it was too long because she fell asleep on the couch.

  She wasn’t aware of falling asleep, of course. Not until she started to wake up.

  When she woke up, her cheek was pressed against Jason’s shirt.

  She blinked, trying to make her mind work, and she shifted slightly, wondering what the big, hard, hot thing against her was.

  It was Jason’s body, and the heavy thing around her was his arm.

  She’d fallen asleep on top of him.

  She tried to pull back, but his arm resisted the move, and he made a few wordless mutters. That was when she realized he was asleep as well.
