If this was a dream, I didn’t want

If this was a dream, I didn’t want to wake up from it. For a lot of reasons, but mainly for the fact there was nothing like waking up next to this man. I’d only gotten to experience it twice before and that was not nearly enough.
Part of me was so shocked that I’d been in a deep enough sleep that he’d been able to move me without my knowledge. I tried to picture what he’d done when he returned home. Obviously he’d undressed first, and I could tell he had pajama bottoms on, because I could feel the soft, worn cotton against my bare legs. He must’ve scooped me up and carried me into his bedroom. I didn’t know if he’d placed me as close to him as I was or if I’d snuggled up to him. Either way, there wasn’t any space between us, and his hand rested on my hip.
My heart ached, and as I lay there, listening to the soft snore, I realized how badly I wanted this. Not just with anyone, but with him. Despite the messy past between us, and everything that needed to be spoken, he . . . he was still taking care of me.
That spoke of the kind of man he was. Decent and kind to his very core, and there were so very few men like that.
And Reece truly was a beautiful man.
Features relaxed in sleep, there was an openness about him that was rarely seen when awake. There was always an aura of concentrated power, and it was there even while he slept. I didn’t think it was because he was a cop. It was just something innate in him, like a second skin.
Full, well-formed lips parted, I resisted the urge to run my thumb over his lower lip. It was even harder to deny the need to kiss him, because I really wanted to feel those lips against mine again.
His skin was warm and smooth under my hand, and I knew I needed to get my butt out of this bed before I did something wholly inappropriate, like slip my hand down under the band of his pajama bottoms.
Carefully, I eased away from him, and rose from the bed. Finding my sweater on the edge, I slipped it on and tugged it close, immediately missing the warmth of his body. Not wanting to wake him since it was still early and he couldn’t have been asleep that long, I crept out of the bedroom, quietly closing the door behind me.
The apartment was tomb silent as I walked back out to the living room. Remembering he had a balcony, I opened the French doors and stepped outside. I dragged in the late-morning air and looked around. The balcony faced a wooded area and was rather private.
Reece gardened.
Or someone did.
Flower boxes hung off the wrought-iron railing, full of pretty pink and purple flowers. There were two green stands, and a bushy fern hung in the corner, out of the sunlight. Two wide wicker chairs were positioned close together.
I tucked my legs along the side and huddled down in the comfy chair. I couldn’t believe how cool it was. When I really thought about how quickly the seasons changed, it blew the mind.
My mind wandered as I sat there. I couldn’t remember if I had grabbed my glasses before I’d left my place. Didn’t really matter since I didn’t have my car. I’d have to go back to my place to get it before I headed into work later tonight.
Back to my place.
I shivered and it had nothing to do with the cooler temps. I almost couldn’t believe it—I was being stalked. Freaking stalked. Me. I shook my head slightly. That’s what was happening. I no longer could joke that it was Casper the Pervy Ghost, and barring some kind of memory disorder, it was someone sneaking into my apartment while I was there. Deleting texts while I was in the shower. Taking pictures of me. Out of everything, those were the two creepiest things ever. But even worse was the fact I really had no idea this was what was happening. I couldn’t even begin to imagine that, or who it could be.
There was Dean, and while he was persistent, he didn’t strike me as a psycho. Unless it was a stranger—the man responsible for what was happening to the other girls—who was doing this, and that was even more horrifying. He could be coming in the bar every night for all I knew. I could be talking to him, smiling at him.
Oh my God, that was horrifying to even imagine. It made me not want to step foot out of my apartment, except my apartment wasn’t even safe. Geez. I squeezed my eyes shut. What was I going to do? I hated the idea of changing my whole life over some freak who was a virtual ghost to me.
Then again, the ghost of my past had changed my entire life. I did and didn’t do things all because of what happened with Charlie. That was a sobering realization I wasn’t nearly awake enough to really delve into.
A thought snuck into my head. Maybe it was someone I knew. Not Dean. Not some guy I dated. Maybe it was someone who just recently came back into my life—an unwanted recent addition.
Henry Williams.
The idea didn’t make a lot of sense, but when we were in high school, he was a bit of a creeper. A handsome guy, but a creeper nonetheless. Maybe he wasn’t satisfied with screwing up Charlie’s life. Maybe he wanted to drive me crazy.

It was just something innate in him, like a second skin.Penuh, well-formed bibir berpisah, saya menolak dorongan untuk menjalankan ibu jari atas bibir bawah nya. Itu bahkan lebih sulit untuk menyangkal perlu menciumnya, karena aku benar-benar ingin merasa bibir terhadap saya lagi.Kulit hangat dan halus di bawah tangan, dan aku tahu aku perlu untuk mendapatkan pantatku dari tempat tidur ini sebelum aku melakukan sesuatu yang sepenuhnya tidak pantas, seperti tergelincir tangan saya turun di bawah jalur pantat piyama nya.Hati-hati, aku menyelinap darinya, dan bangkit dari tempat tidur. Mencari sweter saya di tepi, aku menyelinap pada dan menarik itu dekat, segera hilang kehangatan dari tubuhnya. Tidak ingin membangunkannya sejak itu masih awal dan dia tidak bisa telah tertidur begitu lama, aku merayap keluar dari kamar tidur, diam-diam menutup pintu di belakang saya.Apartemen adalah makam diam saat aku berjalan kembali ke ruang tamu. Mengingat ia memiliki balkon, aku membuka pintu Prancis dan melangkah di luar. Aku diseret di udara lalang dan melihat sekeliling. Balkon menghadapi daerah berhutan dan adalah agak pribadi.Reece gardened.Atau seseorang melakukan.Bunga kotak tergantung dari pagar besi tempa, penuh bunga cukup pink dan ungu. Ada dua hijau berdiri, dan pakis yang lebat digantung di sudut, dari sinar matahari. Dua kursi-kursi rotan lebar ditempatkan dekat bersama-sama.Aku terselip kakiku sepanjang sisi dan meringkuk turun di kursi nyaman. Aku tidak percaya bagaimana keren itu. Ketika aku benar-benar berpikir tentang bagaimana cepat musim berubah, itu meniup pikiran.Pikiran saya mengembara sebagai aku duduk di sana. Aku tidak bisa ingat jika aku telah menyambar kacamata saya sebelum saya meninggalkan tempat saya. Tidak benar-benar peduli karena aku tidak punya mobil saya. Aku harus kembali ke tempat saya untuk mendapatkannya sebelum aku menuju ke pekerjaan nanti malam.Kembali ke tempat saya.Saya menggigil dan itu tidak ada hubungannya dengan temps dingin. Aku hampir tidak bisa percaya itu — adalah sedang berjalan. Freaking berjalan. Me. Saya menganggukkan kepala sedikit. Itulah apa yang terjadi. Aku tidak bisa bercanda bahwa itu Casper Pervy hantu, dan kecuali beberapa jenis memori gangguan, itu adalah seseorang menyelinap masuk ke apartemen saya sementara aku berada di sana. Menghapus teks sementara aku berada di kamar mandi. Mengambil foto-foto saya. Keluar dari segala sesuatu, mereka adalah dua hal terangker pernah. Tetapi bahkan lebih buruk lagi adalah kenyataan aku benar-benar tidak tahu ini adalah apa yang terjadi. Bahkan saya tidak bisa membayangkan itu, atau yang mungkin.Ada Dekan, dan sementara ia terus-menerus, ia tidak menyerang saya sebagai psiko. Kecuali itu adalah orang-orang yang bertanggungjawab atas apa yang terjadi untuk gadis-gadis lain — yang melakukan ini, dan itu bahkan lebih mengerikan. Dia bisa datang di bar setiap malam untuk semua aku tahu. Aku bisa berbicara dengan dia, tersenyum padanya.Oh Tuhan, itu menyeramkan untuk bahkan membayangkan. Itu membuat saya tidak ingin untuk langkah kaki dari apartemen saya, kecuali apartemen saya tidak bahkan aman. Geez. Aku meremas menutup mata saya. Apa yang akan saya lakukan? Aku benci gagasan mengubah seluruh hidup saya lebih dari aneh yang hantu virtual bagi saya.Then again, the ghost of my past had changed my entire life.
