Thank you so much for the reviews! They were more than appreciated. So here is the third part. Enjoy! (and don't hesitate to leave a little note!)
Part III
The first time they fell asleep together, it had been an accident. Both had drifted to sleep while reading in Emma's bed. They woke up the next morning entangled in a sweet embrace that neither wanted to escape. This little game went on and off. But after the third incident in a row, it became a habit, a moment of peace they both needed, just like their walks outside of Sanctuary.
But after what had happened during the last few days, Emma doubted Brennan would ever come back to her room. And she couldn't blame him; she was the only one responsible for that fiasco. If only she had fought Caleb's ascendancy with a little more strength, they would be lying in that bed reading. The psionic sat on the covers and ran her fingers on his pillow.
There was an ache, a painful void, growing inside of her. She needed his presence, the strong reassurance of his feelings and touch. The intensity of her feelings frightened her. She had never felt that way. Maybe, Caleb was her way out of their relationship before it consumed her entirely. Another sigh escaped her lips. She was a fool. If she had wanted to protect herself, she should never have crossed his path.
It was already too late. Her heart belonged to him.
