In all of the years that Emily had been lying and saying that her nightmares had been cured. She had never once shared a bed with another person. Emily had always been terrified that her secret would somehow be discovered despite her having mastered the art of being silent even when having a night terror. So she had chosen to be a solo sleeper. Then she had shared the bed with someone and boom, her problem had been solved, at least for that night.
But the key thing was that she had shared the bed with Derek Haven and had been able to sleep without a single night terror waking her up. Derek Haven, more than just being the CEO of Haven Group, and her boss, was also a human being. Other people were human beings too( for the most part, there were also cold-blooded snakes like Derek's uncle out there).
But the realization that Derek was just another human being had sent Emily's mind racing.
