Chapter 0019
[Evelyn’s POV]
My God, I couldn’t remember the last time I slept so soundly.
I was so warm and felt so safe. For a moment, I thought I was back in my old room. Some of my limbs were still aching from the previous day’s events and I was in no mood to get up anytime soon.
Slowly, I stretched my legs and arms, gaining a feel for my surroundings. A soft groan slipped from my lips as my body sank, graciously back into the soft mattress,
Suddenly, another strange sound broke through the silence causing my eyes to crack open. The room was still fairly dark with only a few slivers of light streaming through the window shades.
I lifted my head in hopes of seeking out the source of the noise.
“Mmhh
Several hundreds of chills raced down my spine as my heart stalled in my chest. That soft, warm mattress I’d been sleeping on this whole time was, in fact, a far cry from a literal mattress. It was Alexander.
My bottom lip trembled in shock before I took it between my lips and softly bit down. Had I seriously been sleeping on him this entire time?
For someone who was so well–built and muscular, Alexander had been the perfect cushion for me to rest on. Of course, I could fairly guess that he wasn’t going to feel the same way about such an assessment.
I tried to slowly lift myself off of Alexander without the chance of waking him up. A sudden breeze danced over my skin, making me shiver. I was already missing the heat that his body was providing.
I calmly glanced down at myself and nearly let out a sharp asp.
Jesus Christ…As if things couldn’t get any more troubling.
My eyes practically bugged out of my head when I saw just how exposed my chest was. My cheeks flushed with bashful heat at the thought of Alexander having felt the majority of my breasts pressed into him for the night.
Well, it’s not like he hasn’t already seen most of me naked already.
True, but it wasn’t as though he’d gotten the chance to actually touch me at the time.
Quickly, I fixed my shirt back in place and resumed my task of putting some decent space between ourselves. Just as I slid my arm away from him, Alexander started to shift and stir. Every muscle in my body froze.
The last thing I wanted was for him to think that I was some creep who was trying to watch him sleep. A minute passed and, thankfully, Alexander had fallen back into his deep sleep.
Having pulled myself up, I was able to get a better look at the man that was lying there beside me. All things considered, Alexander was a very handsome man when he wasn’t scowling. I couldn’t get over how peaceful and untroubled he looked.
“Oh…”
Amidst the process of trying to unravel myself from him, I noticed that his mask had slightly shifted. From the angle I was sitting at, the side of his face that was normally covered by the mask, the side that was known to be horribly injured from the accident, appeared completely normal.
I couldn’t believe it.

Before I was trying diligently to slip away from Alexander only to return to his side. I was so compelled to see what his full face looked like without the mask.
If what I was seeing was real, then that meant Alexander’s face wasn’t injured at all.
But then why wear the mask?
I silently reached my hand out for the mask that was barely hanging on the side of his cheek. Alexander must have sensed me because his eyes shot open.
My stomach flipped several times. I gently rolled back and cried to hide the growing embarrassment from my face. Alexander slightly frowned as though he was eager to roll over and catch up on some more sleep. If I had half a mind, I would have politely excused myself and left him to the rest.
However, the man merely blinked back the exhaustion and tried to pull himself up into a sitting position.
