CHAPTER 28 Tied to the Bed

  Ella's POV

  Weak, damned! Weak and needy human!

  I continued to scold myself as I swayed this way and that while Blaze walked up the stairs. With me thrown over his shoulder like I was nothing but an extra pillow. I expected to be thrown into bed, but instead, he placed me down gently on the edge. My whole body ached for more as his warm hands brushed against my sides.

  "Now what?"

  "Now, you go to sleep!"

  "Oh, sure. Bye!"

  "I mean it!"

  "Yes, I know! But I'm not sleeping with you standing there staring at me!"

  "Fine, drink some water and sleep it off!"

  He closed the door behind him, and I listened for his steps as they faded away. This room was awfully quiet compared to the loud party downstairs. I waited a little longer before I Tippy-toed to the door and listened again.
