Rachel was content to lay next to Cruz. He was warm, a complete contrast to the cold outside. She could easily allow herself to drift off, but she wasn’t tired. The excitement of what had happened filled her with energy. Cruz seemed to be the opposite - awake but drifting off. That was okay with her.
Cruz’s question caught her off guard. It was just an unusual question, and she wonder what brought it up. Fear wasn’t an emotion she was really used to. Of course she had been afraid before. She had even been a little scared of having sex tonight, but the fear that Cruz spoke of - it was a primal thing - a survival instinct. Rachel had grown up in a life of privilege. She doubted that she knew what fear truly was.
”No,” she said, a finger absentmindedly drawing on his chest. ”Have you? Is everything okay?” she asked. The only reason Rachel could think of for the question was that something was bothering Cruz.
