Derek's POV.
"What was the last thing she said?" I wondered as I stood at the side of the bed, a hint of confusion in my mind. Elena's request for me to rest echoed in my thoughts, and I couldn't help but consider its implications.
"Is she planning to sleep with me?" I mused, my mind racing with questions. It seemed like a significant shift in our interactions, one that left me both intrigued and uncertain. I had initially intended to leave and sleep separately, but Elena's invitation seemed to suggest otherwise.
With a faint smile on my lips, I decided to honor her request. I stepped out of bed, my movements deliberate as I unzipped my clothing and picked up my phone from the nearby nightstand. There was something important I needed to attend to before retiring for the night.
I dialed Obin's phone number, and my thoughts focused on the matter at hand. The connection was established, and I could hear Obin's voice on the other end of the line.
