Chapter 0286


    | wake up blinking to the chirping sound of Kent’s phone and | groan a little as | turn over in Kent’s arms. But when | look at his


    face, | grin to see that he hasn’t woken up yet.


    Apparently he really does need his wake-the-dead rm clock to get him up in the mornings, especially after a night of


    confessions. | smile as | take in the sight of Kent’s handsome face in repose. And then, slowly at first, | start tough as | take in


    the sight of him — this gigantic, fierce, scary man — wrapped up in my floralforter, his feet hanging off the end of the bed


    that’s too small for him.


    Even though the rm doesn’t work myughter clearly does, and Kent starts to open his eyes. Then, predictably, he res at


    me. “What’s so funny,” he murmurs.


    “You,” | say, pressing my body closer to him as | smile. Then | lower my voice, doing my best imitation of him. “I’m going to have


    to send you through the passage now, Kent. Very busy day ahead of me. Take your coffee and go.”


    Kent smirks, giving me a half-hearted little smack on the ass before turning to reach for his phone, clicking the rm off and


    turning back to me. “This is a lie,” he sighs, wrapping his arms around me again and again pulling me tight against him. “You''re


    not allowed to have coffee in your room, Fay. A constant supply of caffeine for you would be a danger to all society —*


    |ugh, pressing my lips to his to shut him up. “But it would be so fun for me,” | murmur. “You should do it, Kent. Give me a


    coffee machine for in here. Just a little baby one.”


    “Never,” he murmurs,ughing with me as he softly strokes my hair and looks down into my face. He pauses for a long moment,


    just looking at me, and | can’t help the wide smile that crosses my face as | look right back at him. Despite the fact that | spent


    half the night crying over him, | feel...closer now, to Kent, than I’ve felt before.


    “Are we good?” he asks me seriously, his eyes flicking over my face to assess my reaction to his question.


    “| think so,” | say honestly, looping my arms around his neck. “I’m okay. Thank you...foring up here. For trusting me.”


    “I''m still sorry,” he says softly, pressing his lips briefly to mine, “for making you think that | didn’t. And for...saying horrible things |


    didn’t mean.”


    “| forgive you,” | say simply, and the words are easy because they’re true.


    Kent opens his mouth to say something else but suddenly my bedroom door shudders, the handle turning. We both turn to look


    at it and my eyes fasten on the engaged deadbolt that prevents whoever is outside from getting in.


    “Fay?” Daniel''s voicees through the door. “Are you — are you okay? | wanted to check on you.”


    “Well...this,” Kent murmurs, raising his eyebrows, “is an...unexpected role reversal.”


    “Yeah,” | say, wrinkling my nose at him and starting tough. “You''d better get out of here before your son catches you sneaking


    into his ce in bed.”


    Kent wrinkles his nose at me in


    distaste and then looks down at the


    bed as he realizes taal righ"!

    “Gross,” he murmurs before starting


    to stand up, and he sound so much


    like Daniel just then that | start to


    laugh harder. Please read the original

    “Fay?” Daniel''s voicees from the door, sounding confused. He’s probably heard meughing.

    I nod to Kent, grinning, and call out to Daniel at the door. “One second, Daniel! I''ming!”


    Kent nods to me and then, for just a


    moment, stands still and lets his eyes


    slip over me where | sit naked in


    bed, the sheets puledtisagainst my


    cppstanrid Poan''t help but smile


    harder when | see the desire in his


    eyes. Our eyes meet and we both


    know what he''d be doing to me if his


    son weren’t at the door. But | just

    to stand up. Please read the original

    Kent sighs and heads through the wardrobe, pulling the door shut behind him as | grab my fluffy white robe off the floor, pulling it


    on before hurrying to the door to unlock it and pull it open.
