Chapter 221 Come Sleep With Me

By the time they came out of the bathroom, more than half an hour had slipped by. Their shirts were damp, so Rosalie grabbed two clean sets. She changed quickly, then helped Julian into his. The dark circles under his eyes showed how exhausted he was. Lounging against the headboard, Julian looked up and said tiredly, "That's enough. Come sleep with me." He'd been out in the mountains all night and handling problems all day. He could hardly keep his eyes open. Rosalie hurried over to help him lie down. After settling him on the bed, she slipped onto the cot by the window. Soon, they both drifted off. When she woke again, warm breath brushed her cheek. Julian had joined her on the cot, asleep with an arm snug around her waist. She stayed still, not wanting to brush against his injuries. While helping him change him last night, she had noticed more than the bandage on his chest. Scrapes and bruises marked his ribs and shoulders, and a patch the size of her hand was rubbed raw.
