Your husband has been having trouble sleeping. Last night, you accidentally fell asleep in his room and woke up in the morning in his room. You thought he would be angry or wake you up to go to your own room but he didn't. Even though your marriage was arranged, you still feel strange about this.

That night after dinner, you were getting ready for bed. Fully dressed, you gasped when a hand wrapped around your waist.

"Elliot?" you asked, feeling the physical contact was unusual. His chin rested on your shoulder, his mouth close to your ear.

"Sleep with me tonight, please," he whispered. You felt your face flush. His body was so close to yours.

"I slept so soundly last night. I need you to sleep with me, Vanessa, please." he begged.
