Chapter 40: A Restless Night & Escaping Chicago

*Tobias POV*

After we were done talking and we agreed to try to make the friends things work, we both said goodnight. I smile to myself remembering how quickly Tris fell asleep once she got comfortable, her breaths quickly setting to a steady pattern. Each of us on our own side, with a pillow between us. I allow myself about half an hour to watch her sleep, the rhythm of her breaths are steady and calming to me. Although she is facing away from me, with the one candle that remains lit, I also watch the subtle muscles in her back expand and contract as she gently breathes. I feel my eyelids get heavy as I fall into deep sleep myself.

*Tobias POV*

I am in deep sleep when I suddenly am woken up, I think by a noise. Disoriented, it takes me a moment to remember where I am, and then I immediately sit up and turn over to check that Tris is unharmed and still sleeping beside me. I let out the breath I had been holding after seeing she is safe, then I look around the dark room to identify what noise woke me up.

And then I hear a small whimper escape her lips. My first concern is that she may be ill, could she have developed a fever? I reach my hand over slowly towards her forehead when she whimpers again, this time quietly mumbling "Oh...oh...yes." My body freezes completely. My mind races. Um, could she...no? Right? I hold my breath as I slowly lay back down on my side to watch her. Her breathing is no longer slow or steady. As my eyes adjust more and more to the candle light I am able to take more of her in. I could not turn away if I tried.

I feel my heart in my throat. I am completely enthralled by her, my heart is pounding in my chest. She very gently writhes under the blankets, and I see that both of her hands are at her sides and lightly clutching the sheets. I realize that my breathing is also speeding up along with hers. She looks so beautiful and hot, I'm instantly turned on. I can't look away from her, even though I know I should.

I watch as her eyebrows furrow and she is suddenly biting her lower lip. I hold my breath as she gently tilts her head up, exposing her neck. Suddenly releasing her lip she is panting gently – begging for someone to keep going, to not stop. I feel a pang in my chest – she is probably dreaming about Luke Clark. I hate the feeling that passes over me, complete jealousy. I know I shouldn't be watching her, or I should discreetly wake her up. But she is fascinating to me, and so striking. I push all thoughts of Luke Clark away. For right now, I will allow myself to believe she is dreaming about me, about us.

I notice her breathing is getting faster. I grab the pillow that is laying between us and wring it with my hands, just to control myself from touching her. Suddenly I see how tightly she squeezes her knees closed. I close my eyes and I try to imagine what she would feel like under me, with her arms wrapped around me.

I almost come undone when she cries out loudly, "Yes, yes, oh Tobias yes... please Tobias..." My mouth literally falls open and I am now biting the pillow to keep from making noise. This girl is literally killing me. She is going to be the death of me.

Suddenly she gasps and sits up suddenly. She seems startled and confused as she pulls her knees to her chest and wraps her arms around her legs. I hear her quietly mumble, "This has to stop."
