What was wrong with me?
Never before had I wanted another human’s touch. Never had I wanted to be held, to be told promises that would be broken.
Yet, I couldn’t pull myself away from Sabastian. I couldn’t force my body away from his warmth.
I wanted to crawl into him, and I was pretty sure I tried to do just that.
When I was in his arms, I forgot about the worries; forgot about the fears that plagued me.
Against his chest, everything in my little world was right.
No harm could come to me. Hepromisedthat the monsters wouldn’t be able to ever get to me again.
For once in my life, I believed him. I had to. Because I didn’t want those cold claws getting to me again. Ever. I didn’t want them to come and paw at my brain like it was something they could experiment on.
Sniffing, I sucked harder at the item in my mouth, teeth slightly clamping around it. When a pained grunt came from the chest I was lying against, I froze.
“No biting, little one.”
No biting?
Testing it out, I gently bit whatever was in my mouth.
A small flick against my cheek got me to let go all the way.
Owe.
“I said no biting, little one. I don’t mind you suckling on me, but biting is not approved.”
Moving, I saw what I had my mouth attached to.
That wasn’t my thumb. Or a pacifier.
Sabastian’s nipple was red, and slightly swollen, from where I had been nursing him.
I hadn’t even realized what it was, but now his rule of no biting made more sense.
“’ Orry,” I muttered, snuggling back into his chest.
Sneaking my thumb to my mouth, it was stopped by one of his hands before it got halfway there. I shot his hand a glare.
“No sucking that either, until it’s healed. Remember?”
No?But I nodded anyway.
I let him wrap his fingers around my hand, keeping it squished in between us. Something told me that wasn’t the first time I tried to use it for comfort.
Laying my cheek on his chest, just resting, I listened to his steady heartbeat. It was strong, soothing, even.
Could I sleep like this all night? Would he let me?
Before this man, I was always alone to sleep.
I opened and closed my mouth, trying to find a way to ask, but no words came out. Instead, as if he knew, both arms wrapped around me again, keeping a tight hold on me.
“Green or blue?
The question was random, and paused whatever was going through my head. Actually, I wasn’t sure anything was going through my thoughts.
