When I came to, the room was all dark and I remained frozen where I laid. The only source of comfort was when I heard the faint sound of breathing from beside me and the arm draped over my waist.
I glanced warily in the dark, tracing his arm back to the source as I tried to wake him. He didn't budge, sighing deeply in sleep as I felt a cool shiver run down my spine.
"Dameon... T-turn the lights on a little..." I whispered, trembling slightly as I imagined something reaching out to me in the dark.
He remained ignorant of my pleas, mumbling in his sleep as he was about to roll over to his back. I flinched, fear nestling in my heart as I snuggled into his arms.
Now instead of turning onto his back, he pulled me close and hugged me as I felt the fear begin to dissipate. I was more secure in his arms as I sighed and wrapped my arm around his waist.
"Babe... don't let go..." I swallowed a sob, snuggling against him as his slow breathing comforted me.
