I woke up at 9 p.m., having slept through most of the day. It was weird to think I had instant ramen for breakfast, but it was weirder to think about where I was now.
I cannot describe to you what sex with Harlan was like. It was mind-blowing, hardcore, and sweet at the same time. I now understood what he meant about the bond. It was indeed stronger, and I just couldn't help but want to wake him up for round two. I decided against it because he'd been through a lot. I could not imagine what it felt like to watch me die. I don't think I could survive it if the situation was reversed.
You should leave the way you came back, Maya. Your time has not yet come.
I still needed to ask him about that.
But I did my best to contain myself, grabbing the borrowed clothes off the floor and heading to the bathroom, when I felt him stir and say, "Where are you going?" The roughness of his voice did something to me.
