RYAN'S POV,I woke to the steady rhythm of Ryan's breathing against the back of my neck.His arm was resting around my waist, heavy and pinning me in place. He was keeping me close to himself, as though I were something precious that needed to be guarded when he slept like a log. Even the warmth of the sunlight did nothing to wake him up. And while he was holding me, for one unguarded moment, I let myself believe it—that I belonged there.However, that changed soon when the memories of the night before came crashing down on me like a tidal wave. I remembered the way he’d looked at me, touched my body, and the way I had melted by his touch. My body still remembered everything, humming with aftershocks, but my mind was screaming.‘What have I done?’I stared at the ceiling, the shame of my actions finally sinking its claws into me. I was supposed to be Ollie’s nanny, nothing more than that. My job was to look after that little girl, to tutor her and keep the boundaries clear with Ryan.
