You know the feeling when you know there is no other way, other than facing the music, face the secrets you try hard enough to hide that no matter what you have to embrace it and see what happens from thereon. This was what Kara was going through as soon as she opened her eyes. Her back was sore and so were her arms, due to sleeping in that odd position.
She instantly sat up straight when she noticed where had she been sleeping and next to whom. Her first thought was to run away before he woke up but then she remembered why she was sleeping here in the first place. Very carefully Kara brought forward her hand and touched his forehead to check for any signs of temperature.
Alex had to summon all his self-control to not groan out loud when her soft hand touched his forehead. He tried to lay still without giving away the fact that he was awake. He could feel her hands over his face, down to the towel on his chest and then against his neck and then his arms. It was torture.
