Maybe he thought I had fallen asleep, because his thumb brushed over my right eyelid softly. It seemed like a good plan to avoid the embarrassment of explaining why I was latched on to him like a man-sucking leech.Ī rough, warm hand cupped my cheek and I felt him scoot down a little. I played dead and pretended I was asleep. It was deep and guttural, and he shifted on his right side, facing me. Oh God, please don’t let him wake up now.
