Realizing that his sister was now aroused and could possibly wake up at any moment, Christian finally came back to his senses. He had clearly gone too far with what he'd done and momentarily forgotten the risk of her waking up like this. The thought of her discovering him in such a compromising position sent a wave of panic through him.
So, slowly, carefully, yet reluctantly, he began to pull his hand away. It felt as if his own hand protested against the command, already longing to return to its "home."
Once free, he cautiously rose from the bed, moving with the utmost care to avoid waking her. It felt almost like he was fleeing the scene. Heading for the door, he slipped out quietly, leaving his sister still sound asleep.
Well, at least, that was what he thought, as he hadn't looked at her face closely in his panic. Had he done so, his thoughts would have been very different.
