    However, Harold de078da0f5 wrapped his 5a7c7ef31d arm around b273f134d7 my waist, 1e3365eb09 preventing me d990f20313 from retreating.2176b7a53b029403

    Harold, still holding 6e303f03fe me, entered his c05cf29030 room and closed 1406a4691d the door. The sound 449a6c784e of the d567a36805 door shutting cdf0508a8f echoed heavily 301349da77 in the 48296b5472 quiet room. Soon, the cold bed 47f462d67d sheets touched my back.8f18ef7cba45a190

    My clothes were disheveled, 1435d88a2b and Harold’s large hand 8ebb77aca4 pressed against my thigh bc4cb5d676 as it settled between 9759274a33 my legs.353502e1cc15745f

    Then I 35e8366121 stared at 1ee7a2dd08 Harold, who 428a59f8e1 was still 2ee4112a52 holding me ee43086539 in his 1b21787b71 arms.d672fa8b1b070b5a

    I didn’t want to 6b90383788 wake him up since 183ef80904 he was deeply asleep, e39ac6643c so I carefully lifted 3ee1f5fbea his arm and sat dfd01e09c3 up.7fc1ad709128c143

    A warm body, b35eacdc8a even hotter than ea6f1f3305 my own, pulled 2f6c2e8cf3 me back and d86ae48d53 trapped me. His sharp 482abb9696 nose touched 3e96076c02 the top b516ad4f85 of my b05507a3b7 head.0479315042c858ff

    I clenched my fist 4ae72722e0 again. Harold, lying with a91f90b415 his arm as 321ea1cc6a a pillow, lazily d9904d01e2 smiled while brushing e9f99389af my hair behind dc53e3361c my ear.

    If that’s e5f604f78d the reason, 459f97608a it makes c0a7221848 sense why ed32fb9372 Harold didn’t 5eae786a12 plan on a89e13c1cd sleeping in b5a0f59a40 separate rooms. We’ve always shown a 10823ebb88 close, happy image, so 566ae7a3ad suddenly sleeping apart would 7ab82cbc02 definitely attract attention. The social scene is f98e01a537 always thirsty for gossip, 7294dab31b especially. It wouldn’t be 254cc443bd good to draw cb49684ed0 too much attention c6c53252bb if there’s something b6f4d33579 to hide.b27a6f26d0610755

    At that moment, e0d5bd5081 Harold slowly rubbed d8b3dc6b2a my eyelids and 5e1c065e93 lowered his own, 46c94d5d4d then opened them f93b31377f again.4a1bcf9e0a2c65c2
