Chapter 49 - Feel Margot's POV I woke up with a groan , throat dry and limbs stiff , my body tangled awkwardly in something warm and fluffy . My legs were half - wrapped , my arms pinned weirdly , and there was a fuzzy softness pressed up against my cheek . Wait what the hell ? - My eyes flew open as I pushed myself up on to my elbows , blinking against the bright morning light streaming in through the thin slats of the window . It was definitely daytime . Still early I'd assume with the rising brightness of the sun . I rubbed at my tired eyes before I yanked the soft material away from my face and stared down at it . The large , thick , fluffy blanket - my blanket - was wrapped around me like a cocoon . Wait ? What ?! This can't be right ? I didn't have it last night ? Panic bloomed instantly . My breath hitched as I sat up completely , the little cover falling into a heap around my lap . And then I noticed it- a pillow too . One from the bed . His bed . Firm , warm , obviously now slepton . I stared down at it like it was radioactive . Had I stolen it in my sleep ?! Did I sleepwalk ?! That was a thing people did , right ? Maybe I got up in the middle of the night and took my blanket back and snatched a pillow while I was at it ? No ... surely I didn't ... did I ? I definitely remembered falling asleep cold . Bitter and coiled up on the hard floor like a cat left outside . There was no way that I'd managed to rearrange this setup in my unconscious state . No way . Which could only mean ... My eyes shot over to the bed . And there he was . Coban . Still laid flat on his back . One arm thrown lazily over his head , the other resting near his ribs . His 1/5 3:24 pm P Chapter 49 Feel chest was bare , sheets tangled loosely around his hips , the dark bruises mottling his body now yellowing slightly today . His mouth was parted . Hair a mess . And he was out . Still sound asleep . Still laid out like stone . Completely unaware . How ? Why would he ? My mind spiralled looking between him and the items as I gasped ... slapping a hand over my mouth at the sound . He must've given them back to me . The blanket at least . The pillow ? Well that was an extra bonus . He must've done it ? Who else could've ? But ... why ? Before I could untangle another thought , his voice rasped across the room , groggy and low . " Up before me for a change , Bella ? " I jumped . My whole body flinched as I turned sharply to find his eyes half - lidded , neck craned up in my direction , his face still slack with sleep . He looked devastatingly good like that . Less dangerous , more human . " Uh ... uh ... " I stammered , gripping the edge of the blanket like it could save me . " Guess so ? " My voice cracked like glass . I panicked and did the only thing I could think to do- I bunched the blanket up into a massive ball and hugged it , as if maybe he wouldn't realise what it was or what he had did . What if he had given me it in a half dazed state ? Unable to remember doing it in the first place himself ? Demanding them back ?! 1 lowered it , as if maybe he'd forget that he'd literally handed it over during the night like some shadowy bedtime Santa Claus . But he didn't address it , not yet at least .... " Come on up here then , " he mumbled , voice gravel - thick , and without opening his eyes again . " It's a new day ... you can start it by heating me up . " My brain glitched . 2/5 3:24 pm P SDD . Chapter 49 - Feel What ? I blinked . What the hell ?! Did he just did he mean that how it sounded ? - I didn't trust myself to speak or move , but the words slipped out anyway . " W - What ? " His brow ticked , and his tone rose only slightly , sharpening at the edges . " Come here , Bella ! " It wasn't a question . Wasn't a suggestion . It was a command now . My body moved before my brain could argue . The blanket dropped from my lap as I stood , my hands going to the mattress as I slowly , very slowly , crept closer to him . The bed loomed in front of me like a trap . My heart thundered in my chest , but something electric buzzed beneath the fear . Curiosity ? Adrenaline ? I didn't know . Maybe both . I made it to the edge . Paused . I waited for some kind of direction . Clarity . Maybe even a second chance to change my mind . But instead , he opened his eyes slightly , and reached out . One large hand clamped gently around my wrist and tugged me down . And then I was falling- I gasped , stumbling forward , landing hard into the warmth of his chest . His skin was hot , his arm like a bar of iron closing around my back as he pulled me in with ease . No effort . No hesitation . I was inside the sheets now , Wrapped up with him in sheer and utter disbelief of what was happening . His face was still relaxed , not a trace of amusement or cruelty in sight . Eyes shut again . Brows smooth . What is happening ?! I waited for him to laugh , to curse me out and tell me to fuck off again ... but nothing came . " Turn around , " he murmured , the words brushing the shell of my car like silk . I didn't argue . 3/5 1:24 pm PDD . Chapter 49 Feel I couldn't . My limbs obeyed , moving on their own as I shifted beneath the sheets , turning so my back pressed to his chest . And there it was again- his arm , heavy and firm , sliding over my waist like it belonged there this whole entire time . I didn't breathe . Not at first . Were we actually fucking cuddling together now ? " See , Margot ? " he whispered , voice thick with sleep , with heat . " This is the treatment that well - behaved girls get . " A shiver raced down my spine so fast that I almost curled forward from the impact . My fingers twisted in the blanket , my heart ricocheting inside my chest like it wanted out . Oh my god ... That's when I felt it . The other thing . Hard . Pressed against my ass firmly . Hot through the thin material of his boxers . Unmistakable . My whole body stiffened ... I forgot how to breathe for a full five seconds . But he didn't move . Didn't grind or react or even flinch to it . Just held me like this was normal for us . Like this was suddenly allowed now . And in some strange , messed up way , I didn't want to move either . I stared at the wall across from us for only a moment , unsure whether I should feel terrified or flattered or just plain confused . Because right now ... I felt everything . Everything all at once . Trapped in warmth . In silence . In this strange , stolen moment I hadn't asked for but wasn't ready to give back . I didn't know what the hell today would bring . But this morning ... this start ... was already more dangerous than any punishment I'd ever known from him . Because I actually sort of liked it ... Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
