A long time ago, in another life, the rhythmic stroking of her hair would have put her on the verge of sleep. Now she can only associate it with him.
He knows it, of course. He does it all on purpose. The hair, the movies…at first when he’d sat on the penthouse sofa and pulled her down to lay with her head on his lap, she’d expected A Walk to Remember again. Before him, it was her favorite movie.
But no, of course he knows that it’s already ruined for her. No reason to continue forcing her to watch it. Instead, tonight it’s Ever After, a movie that Janaysia recently introduced her to that she’d instantly fallen in love with.
It’s confirmation that he really has been watching her. Panic rises up in her at the thought, and she has to focus very hard on continuing to breathe steadily through her nose to shove it back down. The last thing she needs is to hyperventilate while wearing a muzzle, or to start crying onto his designer jeans.
