On My Bed

Hailee's POV

Fuck!

My face burned with heat as I realized exactly what was pressing against me.

I panicked and quickly tried to shift away, but the sudden movement caused Nathan to stir.

Crap.

I froze… and then did the only thing I could think of.

I stayed perfectly still and pretended I was just moving in my sleep.

I heard a low curse.

"Shit," he muttered under his breath.

I kept my breathing soft and even, trying my best to stay still. My heart, though, was pounding wildly.

He was awake.

And he definitely noticed his arousal.

I expected him to move away… maybe get up and leave. But he didn't.

Rather, I felt something on my face.

His fingers.

Soft. Barely brushing my cheek.

A gentle stroke—featherlight—as if he was scared I'd disappear if he touched me too hard.

"You look so beautiful like this," he whispered.

My breath hitched.
