I was already in bed when I heard my lover come home. The bedroom door opened and small footsteps reached the bed.

I grunted when the bed creaked as she crawled in. I felt her head on my chest and her hands caress my cheek.

I groaned tiredly.

“Go to sleep.” I gruffed.

I heard her huff and shimmy to the other side of the bed. My arms wrapped around her waist and swiftly pulled her back to me.

“I said sleep, not leave me.”

My eyes stayed closed.
