Chapter 29 Friends?

• The horror of realizing that I had fallen asleep in Shulgin's embrace made me jerk upright in bed. A shiver ran down my spine when I noticed my dress neatly folded on a chair next to the bed. This couldn't be happening! Could it really be happening again? With trembling hands, I touched my stomach and at that moment a voice sounded, making me jump in surprise.
• " Nothing happened, Zoya."
• Slowly, I turned my face towards the man sitting on the edge of the bed, leaning against the headboard with his shoulder. He ran his eyes over me and I pulled the sheet up higher, hiding my body from his piercing gaze. I was still wearing my underwear and I didn't feel the burning pain between my legs that I had felt the morning after the first time.
