BADUMP! BADUMP! BADUMP!

I could feel his firm chest pressed on mine. He wasn't so heavy until I noticed he was supporting his body with his free arm. He probably did that so he wouldn't crush me. That's really nice. My cheeks burned again and I started to feel hot even though I just finished bathing. I wanted to scream so bad but it's still so early in the morning and I didn't want to wake anyone up.

'This is bad. He can probably feel my heartbeat. It's beating so loud right now and I can't stop it! Kyaaaaaaaaa! Oh-Em-Gi!'

"Aaahh," Verrill grunted and his breath sent shivers on my neck and throughout my whole spine and my whole being.
