True to his guess, Aster didn't get a wink of sleep. He simply closed his eyes, pretending to sleep, while letting the two girls snooze beside him.
During this, he learned three new things.
First, no matter how they were stuck close and tight together, thanks to his Carved Seal, they didn't feel too hot or stuffy at all.
The second is that when sleeping, Kali would curl up and grab the closest thing to her, using it like a hug pillow. Of course, that "thing" ended up becoming Aster, who was sleeping right beside her.
And third, Cassy was a restless sleeper. There were a lot of instances when her leg went over to Aster's waist, stimulating his little Johnny, giving him a time of pure agony, and presenting good training for his self-restraint.
This situation lasted for the entire night until it was around 4 a.m. when Kali stirred and woke up. As her breathing changed, Aster pretended to be asleep, closing his eyes and emulating slow, gentle breathing.
