Chapter 10
When Beckett openedhis eyes in the morning, he had a weight along his left side. He opened an eye to check and see what he sensed already: somehow the beautiful Nomad girl was draped on half of his body. His arm was wrapped around her as if without his brain being aware. Had he reached out and pulled her to him in the night? He stealthily rolled his arm from under her head, prying her elbow from his chest, and turned his back to her, hoping she hadn’t noticed his indiscretion.
There were two things of which Beckett was not aware.
One, that a Nomadic Water Dweller sleeps too lightly for that much movement. She watched him as he turned away.
And two, Luna knew full well that she had been the one who needed harbor last night and had climbed into his arms.
