“You sleep better this way.”
I sit up, still staring, waiting for what he’s saying to make sense. “What?”
“You wheeze if you lie too flat,” he explains like this is no big deal. “I noticed you didn’t wheeze last night when I sat up.”
Holy fucking shit.
He stayed so I could sleep in his arms.
“Did you stay here all night?”
“Beth,” he implores, and I know he isn’t going to get into this with me. “Lie down. Get some sleep.”
“And what about you? You must be exhausted.”
He laughs under his breath. “I will sleep on a bed of nails. And I will sleep easier knowing you are.”
All I can do is stare at him, my eyes stinging and my blood gushing hot in my veins. “You don’t have to do this.”
He smirks before pulling me back to his chest. “And here I am, doing it anyway.” A soft press of his lips to the top of my head and he whispers, “Get some rest.”
My body turns to putty in his hands before I give in and rest my head against his chest. It’s hard, but the beat of his heart is comforting.
“Don’t you have something more important to do?”
He scoffs. “Like what?”
“I don’t know, maybe run a couple businesses.”
“What businesses?”
I slap my hand against his shoulder, but it hurts, and I know he’s right. I need sleep.
“Okay then, talk to me. That will put me to sleep,” I tease, hiding my grin.
He only massages tense muscles in my back with no snide response which means he’s been worried.
I look up at him, feeling my eyes getting heavy again as I relax into his arms. “I’m okay, you know?”
“You always are.” He plucks his phone from his pocket. “Let me show you some of the designs I’ve been working on.”
I smile even when it hurts. “Anyone I know?”
“You wouldn’t believe it if I told you.”
“Oh, come on.”
“Sorry, pretty girl. Can’t out the man running the country.”
I shoot up again, or at least I try, but his grip on me is firm.
“The president of the—”
“I said the man running the country.”
I’m confused, but don’t press the matter. I know Logan will always be privy to information I don’t need to know, and I know a lot of it has ties to The Kingsmen.
Dismantled motorcycle crew my ass.
