cheeks as her eyes closed and her skin flushed. Who knew someone could be so satisfied? He smiled at his handy work. He tried to get closer to her on the bed, but she turned to her side facing away from him.
He would have been upset but two seconds later; her breath fell into a deep rhythm. He continued to lick the sweetness from his fingers as his other arm wrapped around her.
Now what?
Chapter 2
Galynn’s eyes snapped open. She tried to move and panic settled into the pit of her stomach. There was something very solid behind her. She woke up for the first time in her life in the bed that wasn’t her own. She stared at the wall in front of her debating what to do. A part of her felt happy, prideful even that she made it through the night. She cringed at the thought of her falling asleep after the wonderful things Alceo had done to her but now she was guessing that would have been better than letting things progress. But now what was she supposed to do?
Galynn turned as slowly as she could, careful not to wake Alceo. How was she going to get out of this one? What was the protocol? Should she just leave? Pretend like it never happened, or should she wait for him to wake and be faced with the awkward morning after conversation? Sneaking out sounded better than waiting around for him to wake and realize he hadn’t meant to take things that far.
She rolled over slowly to face him, trying her best not to jostle the bed and wake him up. His long dark lashes pressed against his cheeks, his mouth slightly parted. She wanted to kiss him, to taste his lips. With everything that happened last night, she hadn’t gotten the chance to taste his lips. But she wasn’t going to press her luck, for now she could just settle with looking.
Her eyes traveled down his chest. He had a scar between his ribs, but it must have been old because it was white and hard to see. She wondered where he could have gotten it. Before she thought about what she was doing, her hand reached out and traced the small scar. It was barely noticeable, but she could feel its roughness against the smooth skin around it.
Galynn took in his tanned skin, the soft sprinkling of hair on chest and his sweat pants slung low on his hips. She wanted to venture lower but didn’t dare. She felt that thing pressing against her leg the night before, but she had been afraid of it. Never in her life had she seen the look in someone’s eye like the one he had given her the night before. If she hadn’t fallen asleep, she wasn’t sure what he would have wanted her to do with it. She wasn’t a virgin by any means, but she also knew that he had way more experience than her. And that scared her a little.
Tearing her gaze from the body in front of her, her mind turned to getting out of the bed without waking him. Alceo was sprawled on his back, arm thrown above his head, sound asleep. There was no way for her to escape without climbing over him, and that included straddling his body. Her face heated at the thought, but she had to get out.
Slowly, watching the rise and fall of Alceo’s chest for any signs of him waking up, Galynn tried to stand. It wasn’t easy but she managed to get into the crouched position without jostling him too much. She eyed a spot on the floor where she wanted her foot to go, held her breath and slid over his legs – she wouldn’t dare think about straddling his waist. What would he do if he found her perched upon his chest in haste to sneak out of his room? This was probably a common occurrence for him, but it wasn’t for her. The very last thing she wanted was for him to wake.
Safely making it to the floor without too much noise, Galynn found her clothes from last night, still wet. She frowned. She would have to steal his clothes to wear them back to her dorm. She didn’t like the idea, but she didn’t really have a choice. Silently she berated herself for being so careless and leaving her soaking clothes in a pile on the floor.
