Betrayed
“Elena let out the breath she’d been holding. At least that was something.
His eyes closed again, and he was asleep within minutes. She started for the chair across the room, then reconsidered. She needed to sleep, because she would be no good to him or anyone else if she was too tired to think straight. But she didn’t want to leave him. The bed was queen-size. Plenty of room for the two of them. She pulled back the covers and eased onto the far side of the mattress. At first she kept her ar...ms at her sides, but when he didn’t wake, she stretched out the arm nearest him until they were lightly touching.
