Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run novel Chapter 189

"Dylan, seriously, how do you fall asleep so quickly?" Clara mumbled to herself, feeling at a loss for words. She forced her eyes shut, trying hard to follow suit.

As far as she could remember, she'd never shared a bed with a guy before, let alone her boss. Sleep was nowhere in sight, so her mind began to wander.

She remembered a note she had scribbled in her journal once: "Don’t trust Dylan."

Turning her head slightly, she took in his profile. He had one of those effortlessly handsome side profiles, with a nose bridge high enough to make you wonder if it was sculpted. There was not a single pore in sight at this range.

Watching him made her eyelids grow heavy, and soon enough, she felt herself drifting off.

It turned out, post-amnesia Clara was quite careless.

Once Dylan heard the soft rhythm of her breathing, he slowly opened his eyes. He turned just enough to catch a glimpse of her sleeping face. She looked so peaceful, like a tiny rabbit or a kitten, all innocence and calm.

Without her old tricks and plans, she seemed completely harmless.

He raised his hand, intending to lightly tap her nose, but stopped midway, caught by some hesitation. With a gentle sigh, he pulled her blanket up and let himself drift into sleep.

That night, Clara dreamt again, but everything was a blur. This time, it was filled with a jumble of voices; people were asking her what to do.

Even in her dream, the tension was palpable, like the weight of the world was on her shoulders.

The pressure jolted her awake, and she found herself staring straight into Dylan’s eyes. He looked like he’d had a good night’s sleep, appearing more refreshed than he had in a while.
