"Stay." He whispered.
"I have every intention of staying."
Next, she tugged off his sweatpants and tried to ignore the fact he hadn’t bothered with underwear.
"The blankets are wet. Let me get some fresh ones from the closet and I’ll be right back." She was about to get up when the idea hit her. "Or we could share the bed. My body will generate enough heat to get the fever down."
He simply nodded.
"Need a hand to get up?"
"Please. I’m as weak as a kitten."
Taking his hands, she tugged.
"Give me a minute." Taking a deep breath, he heaved his body up. "My head is spinning." They managed to get him up.
"I’m going to have to lean on you a bit."
"No problem." She supported his weight as they made their way into the bedroom. Leading him over to the bed, she went to get some blankets from the linen closet.
"I still think some tea is in order."
"Take off your clothes." He was lying stretched out on the bed with the blankets covering him to the waist.
“Look, I don’t think-“
“I need your body heat and I’m too weak to try anything." His voice sounded scratchy and hoarse.
"You’d better not." She warned. She took off her baggy sweatpants and top and slid in next to him. Stiffening slightly when he reached for her, she forced herself to relax.
"Much better." He whispered against her forehead. "You feel so warm."
" I could cook an egg on your body." She jolted when he wrapped a thigh around her.

"You don’t deserve it."
"Hmm." Gathering her close, he heaved out a breath and drifted off to sleep.
She knew he was sleeping and could hear it from the sound of his breathing. Lucky him, she thought with a frown. He’d just gone off to sleep and left her here, acutely aware of his long lean body. The fever was going down and she could feel the moisture on his skin. She could also feel the rippling muscles of his chest and his cock-
Closing her eyes, she tried to will herself to sleep. Maybe she should try and wriggle away a little bit so that she wasn’t as close to him. Taking a breath, she tried to get away, but his hold on her was so tight that she couldn’t budge.
Trying again, this time harder, she managed to move away several inches. Her relief was short-lived when he murmured sleepily and pulled her back against him. Rolling her eyes, she gave him and settled against his chest.

He woke up the next morning, slightly disoriented and groggy. His throat felt a little scratchy and, for a second, he wondered where he was, until he felt the slender curves pressing against him. His eyes flew open and he recalled the events of the night before.
Shifting carefully, so as not to wake her, he had the pleasure of studying the woman sleeping in his arms. She was sprawled across his chest, one well-toned arm thrown over him.
Her hair, some of which was curled against her forehead and cheek, was streaming against his shoulder. Her long lashes made shadows against her cheek. She had exquisite bone structure and her skin was flawless and soft
