Yes!

I quieted my mind and went back to meditating as I lay there. I’d managed to relax the mating hunger of my body, as Mr. Hawk had called it, so much that I’d nearly fallen asleep for real when Charity’s feet hit the stone floor with dexterous softness. I didn’t flinch but I allowed my eyes to open every so slightly as I sat up against my three pillows in the dark.

Charity crouched on the floor then stood over me and held a hand over my face, checking my breathing. I didn’t flinch. She then made a very rude gesture at me and turned to sneak away. I remained perfectly still. I had excellent hearing and the abbey was completely silent at this hour. I could hear her breathing, just beyond the door to the room, waiting to see if I would wake to find her missing. She really was hiding something!

My heart beat a bit faster but I **** my breathing to remain steady and controlled. It was another five minutes before I finally heard her soft footsteps pattering down the hall. I threw off my blankets and rolled out of bed, rushing to the door to give chase.
