Chapter 30

• Emma felt her eyelids heavy, her body aching, and an immense desire to stay in bed, but the growls of her stomach made her try to open her eyes. A strong arm wrapped around her waist, and Asher's warmth, coupled with his slow breath, seemed to envelop her.
• It had all been real, as evidenced by the pain she felt, but it had undoubtedly been worth it. It was a pleasant pain. If she had known that she would feel this way when she was with a man, she might have... No, she wouldn't have, she couldn't imagine doing the same thing with anyone else but Asher.
• She couldn't fathom what had happened to let herself go like that. She wasn't like that, or maybe she was and was just discovering it. Would it be wrong to tell him that she wanted to do it again? As soon as possible. Her body hadn't complained at all when he had touched her; it felt right, as if she had been meant to be in his arms.
