Holden
Nothing was better than waking up with Samantha sleeping sprawled out on my chest. I open my eyes to watch her. Her breathing is even, and her heartbeat is calm. Hyde is in my head, humming happily. I sigh when I glimpse my clock and realize I must get up and go to training. I have been putting it off for a few days since Samantha and Kade arrived. I try gently sliding Samantha off, and she mutters and opens her beautiful green eyes. “I’m sorry,” I whisper.
“What?” She mumbles and blinks.
“I have to get up,” I say as I gently slide my hand down her back.
Her eyes widen and she scrambles off me. She curls up a few feet away and buries her face in her pillow. “Sorry.”
“Oh, honey,” I touch her arm, “I’m not mad. You can lay on my anytime you want.”
She moves so I can see one eye.
