Chapter 28

Michelle

I wake up in the middle of the night, nauseous and hungry all at the same damn time.

My period is super late, but I swear these are the weirdest symptoms ever. Never once have I had such sensitive nipples, not to mention having to pee all the goddamn time.

Do I have a urinary tract infection or something?

I blink in the dark. Maddox’s big arms are wrapped around me, and one of his heavy tree

legs rests over mine. How the heck did I manage to fall asleep like this? 1

Although it’s cute that Maddox is a complete teddy bear and can’t sleep without holding me, it’s annoying how I have to fight to break free from his arms and legs.

“Goddamn it, Maddox!” I curse in a whisper. “Release me!”

My giant lover doesn’t even react to me kicking his thighs. Even in his sleep, the guy is a massive asshole. He tries to keep me locked in his arms, but somehow, I wriggle free.

Not without panting, though. I’m sweating once I’m free and quickly get off the bed to ensure Maddox doesn’t trap me again.
