Nora's POV
Hours had passed since I should have returned to my studies, but here I was, sprawled naked across our bed with my hand resting against James's muscled thigh. The afterglow of our passionate encounter left me feeling utterly satisfied and completely drained.
"You can have another study break whenever you need one," James murmured, shifting onto his side to drape his leg over mine possessively.
My eyelids felt heavy as I nestled into the warmth of his body. Every intention of getting up to use the bathroom faded as contentment washed over me. "I definitely need a nap before anything else."
"Then sleep." His palm traced a lazy path up my thigh before settling on my rounded belly. "Your friends won't be here for hours."
"God, I'm exhausted." The admission escaped on a weary sigh.
"You tossed and turned all night," he observed, concern threading through his voice.
"Couldn't find a comfortable position anywhere." Even now, my back ached from the constant pressure.
