Shadow Burns: An Urban Fantasy Novel (Preternatural Affairs book 4)
“Even if the female body in question is a massive bed hog.
Not just a bed hog, but a pillow and blanket hog, too. My head was flat on the mattress, and I was completely naked, almost cold, while Isobel was swaddled in all of my sheets.
The blankets were pulled low enough to flash one bare breast. Her arm was flung over her eyes. She was oblivious to my gaze as it traveled down her exposed flesh to the curve of hip wrapped up in my sheets.
Her right leg was thrown over mine. She didn’t react when I cupped her thigh again.
Still just as perfect as the evening before.
I didn’t need a pillow anyway.
My hand kept stroking her leg absently as I mulled over the previous night. Not what had happened with Isobel and me, but what had happened after I had fallen asleep.
I hadn’t had any nightmares about the hallway. No dreams at all, as far as I could recall.
It would have been too much to hope that our confrontation at Paradise Mile had ended the nightmares. Ander was still out there. He still p...lanned on making Isobel fulfill her contract.MoreLess
