Chapter thirty seven Jade’s POVI woke up aware of him.Not just that he was there.But the way he was there.His arm was still around me.Heavy and warm.Possessive in a way that didn’t feel forced.My back pressed lightly against his chest, his breath slow and steady against my neck.For a moment,I didn’t move.Because this…….this felt real.And that was the problem.I swallowed slowly, my fingers tightening slightly against the sheets as my thoughts caught up with me.Adam.The name hit me all over again.Sharp and unanswered.And just like that,The warmth behind me didn’t feel as comforting anymore.Carefully, slowly,I lifted his arm.It didn’t move easily.His grip tightened slightly, almost instinctively, like even in sleep he noticed.My breath caught.Then,A low, rough voice.“Where are you going?”I froze.“You’re awake?”His arm didn’t leave me.Didn’t loosen.If anything,It settled more firmly around my waist.“I wasn't,” he said quietly. “Until you started escaping.”
