The creak of the floorboard wakes me up early the next morning. So early that it’s almost dark out still, almost but not quite. Enough blue-grey light that I can see my door is open, and I know Alex closed it last night after he tucked me in. My heart rate jacks up and I let my eyelids flutter shut again. Is he in the hallway? Did he check on me and then leave again? I almost shout when the mattresses shifts beside me, but I swallow that panic, that rising freakout, and let it twist into a darker, headier need. ~ A Dd/lg erotic romance with a reluctant Dom, an inexperienced heroine, an accidental roommates-to-lovers situation, and a connection that cannot be denied ~
