Did we do it last night?
Absolutely not. After that sound filled the air around us, I whispered to Roman, urging him that I needed to sleep, despite the intense desire that lingered. My heart raced with the exhilaration from everything we had shared—the kisses that ignited a fire within me and the tender touches that sent shivers down my spine were utterly captivating.
But I knew I had to draw a line; Harper mustn't find out about our secret. Fortunately, he understood and pressed a gentle kiss to my forehead before lying down beside me. As I snuggled close, my cheeks flushed a deep crimson, and my eyes fluttered shut; I fought to find sleep until the soothing embrace of slumber finally claimed me.
When the morning light broke through the curtains, I woke to find myself alone in the vast bedroom; my brows knit together in confusion. I blinked as my lashes brushed against my cheeks, taking in the spacious room. The two siblings were nowhere to be found.
