Chapter 216 In His Room

“No, I’m just still getting used to this”

Laurent walked right up to her. He braced one hand on the desk behind her and leaned in until he was a me married. You don’t have to be scared of me, okay?

She looked back at him but didn’t say anything

“I’m not gonna touch you. You can relax.” His eyes dropped slowly from her nose to her lips His Adam’s applied as swallowed hard. “When the day comes that you truly accept me, we’ll do what couples are supposed to do

“But right now, don’t stress yourself’out.”

His stare stayed steady. There was no heat in it. Nothing suggestive

Ava’s gaze darted away and she quickly looked down.

Laurent didn’t want to force her or ruin the progress they’d made. Things were already better than he’d hoped. He had a figh tolerance for waiting, especially when it came to Ava.

“Go lie down. You’ve still got drills this afternoon. I meant what I said earlier Tomorrow’s the start of gun training After that survival camp. That’s the real challenge.”

He opened a drawer and pulled out a black case. “Get some rest. I’ve got work to handle. If my stuff on the bed makes you uncomfortable, there’s a clean set in the closet. Grab it if you need to.”

Then he walked out with the case in hand.

After he left, Ava sat still for a minute, then got up. She washed her face, rinsed her feet, and slipped on some slippers

She stopped at the doorway. Her hand hovered on the frame. In front of the mirror, she lightly slapped her cheeks. Maybe she really did overthink it. Maybe she judged him too soon.

She stood there for another moment, then went to the bed and pulled the blanket down.

As soon as she lay down, his scent hit stronger. She thought she’d be too on edge to sleep. But she knocked out es seconds.

When she woke up, the room was still empty.

He never came back.

She rubbed her eyes and rolled her neck, then sat up and fixed the blanket. It didn’t look perfect, but she gave it a try anyway.

She rinsed her face again, ran her fingers through her hair, and threw it up in a quick bun. She made a note to borrow a comé the girls later.

She checked her stuff to make sure she didn’t forget anything, then headed out.

“Noelle, Zoey, lemme borrow your combs.”

The girls were still half-asleep when Ava walked in. They were yawning like crazy Noelle waved toward the sink. “Yeah, it’s over there. Just grab it.”

Zoey squinted at her for a beat. “Wait a sec. You look kinda different. What happened? You sneak off for real food or something

Ava stared at her, confused, “Food? What food?

“I didn’t eat anything! I didn’t even buy snacks!”

She walked over to grab the comb and started brushing her hair. Then she threw on her hat. She had no clue there was a tiny r mark just behind her ear.

After afternoon drills ended, Ivan told them about the schedule for tomorrow.

Firearms practice. Exactly like Laurent said.

The next morning, Ava didn’t wait for Laurent. He’d told her the night before he wouldn’t be back.

Ivan loaded the team onto the military truck and turned to the girls. “When we get there, follow orders. Every single one.”
