Maxine POV My worry about sleeping with Tank disappeared. One moment, I was shaking, nervous about being in his bed, not scared, more like I was uncertain, would he keep his word, to only hold me, his arms wrapped around me, pulling me against his hard chest, his warmth enveloped me, I felt his need hard against my thigh. Still, he didn't act on it. Soon, after a few brief questions, I was out like a light. I woke early, as I would with my daily morning routine. With my work starting early, it was almost an everyday thing, except Sundays, when the shop was closed, though we occasionally worked overtime. But even on my days off, I would wake up the same time, been like that for years, early starts at school, as I walked to school most days, and then starting work, had to be at work by se
