The Space Between (The Book Of Phoenix) - Plot & Excerpts
He squeezed me tighter and moaned against my neck. One hand slid down my side and came to a rest on my hip, his fingers pressing into the sensitive area where my panties met my leg. I wondered if he was fully awake and knew whom he lay next to, or if I was just another girl in his sleep-fogged mind. “Leni,” he murmured right by my ear, and my body froze. He’d spoken! Said my name! And, whoa, did I not love the sound of it, the way it wrapped around my heart. I lay still, hoping he’d say it again, but he didn’t. The quiet of being with him was sometimes unnerving. Uncle Theo had his hearing aid, but when he didn’t put it in, he’d have the television blaring at its highest volume. With Jeric, there was nothing. A rare groan or grunt, but nothing more. Until now. He must have still been asleep. His rhythmic breathing next to my ear confirmed this. I let out a sigh. How had this man affected me the way he did?
