In the middle of the night, Erin stirred up in her sleep only to find herself in a familiar embrace. Surprised, she looked at the man who was holding her closer.
'When did he come to my room? I Don't remember.'
In the dim light of the night lamp, he looked even more handsome. Even before she could feel it was enough, a man opened his eyes all of a sudden, taking her by surprise.
"Are you uncomfortable sleeping like this?" he asked.
She lightly shook her head and asked, "Why are you here instead of in your chamber?"
He wordlessly looked at her as if trying to see through her thoughts, and then asked, "You don't want me to?"
She immediately shook her head. She was worried, he would take it otherwise and return to his own room. "I didn't mean it that way."
"Then, let's sleep," he said and pulled her even closer, "It's late."
Erin buried her face at the top of his chest and asked, "We are yet to be married. Won't your mother and others find it…."
