Chapter 10 Haru

• After shutting the door to my closet-sized bedroom, I zombie-walked to the bed and collapsed facedown on the mattress. A moment later, I shifted around so that I lay on my back as I stared up at the ceiling, the light illuminating the room in a soft glow.
• I should dry my body and hair properly and then put on my pajamas, I thought tiredly. But then, the bed was so soft under me and I didn’t want to get up. Plus, it felt quite nice without clothes on, especially in this heat.
• I spread my arms out, relaxed, and was about to doze off when Aiden’s face appeared in my mind’s eye. Then I remembered the hug he had given me back in the car, and the way he had caressed my cheek. I remembered his warmth, the hardness of his body, and his smell that was so unique to him. The scent that I loved.
