Chapter 626

• Despite his brain closing down slowly, he could feel her breath on his arm and her eyes on his profile, silently looking at him. He could sense her shyness at saying anything vibrating his way, and as much as he wanted to sleep, he wanted her to be okay about last night too.
• “I’m still awake,” he mumbled, sliding an arm out across her waist with his eyes closed, pulling her to his side so he could snuggle into her and kill this insane need to stare at her. He wanted to know what she was thinking, but he didn’t have the energy to do anything about it. He moved his face nearer her neck to tuck his forehead against her hair and inhale all the sexy goodness and subtle tropical scent that was just her. He had missed her like crazy.
• “You smell good,” he muttered almost incoherently, still with eyes shut and sleep trying to overtake him. He could feel her slowly beginning to tense her body, her breathing becoming shallower and the tell-tale signs of Emma going into PA mode, all business and no emotion.
