Lina's POV
I was exhausted after working on design drafts for hours in Adrian's study, using his computer while he sat nearby reviewing reports Derek had brought him. My eyelids felt heavy as lead, and my head kept nodding forward, nearly hitting the desk.
Adrian, ever watchful, noticed immediately. Before I knew it, he'd wrapped his strong arms around me and was carrying me away from the desk.
"I need to work a little longer," I protested weakly.
"It's late. Time for bed," he rumbled, his voice vibrating through his chest against my side.
When we reached the bedroom, the heat radiating from his body as he slid in beside me made me grip the sheets nervously. I was still on my period... surely he wouldn't want to—
I swallowed hard as his large hand settled on my waist.
