ROXIE I stir and move. I have to admit Lex’s bed was soft. I thought I couldn’t sleep, but Lex’s scent on the pillow helped. I was surprised when I asked about the sleeping arrangements that she should take the bed. I thought he would have at least fought me on it. Bex was on high alert but was stunned to see Lex trying to keep to his word of going slow with me, and so was I. I am happy he did, but I did feel a slight disappointment wash over me. “That was the mate bond,” murmured Bex in my head. I could feel her move around. I slowly moved and sat up in bed. I looked around till my eyes landed on the couch. My mouth became dry just by looking at him. Lex was still asleep on the couch, snoring. I stared at him, tracing his muscular form with my eyes. His sweatpants were hanging low.
