/"BABE, GET SOME sleep,/" Pyke coos. /"It’s been a long day./"
/"Good night, Pyke./" I slip back inside my blanket, feeling a little disappointed.
/"I’m not going anywhere./" He must have sensed my dismay. Then he says as he runs his fingers through my hair, /"I’ll be right here until you fall to sleep./"
/"I know, but I don’t want you to go even if I fall asleep./" I feel a little bit needy and desperate, but I want Pyke to be by my side right now. /"You’ve been far from me for a week. Please stay./"
/"Are you sure?/" he asks almost immediately.
My heart flutters to the thought of his excitement of staying beside me tonight. Heat spreads all over my body like a little spark could light up the fire that has been dead for a week.
