Hi, this is the first chapter I have read of this work. I enjoyed your writing. Since I don`t know anything of the story other than what I read here, I have two questions: `finally submitting the sleep` a line toward the end, should it read `finally submitting to sleep`
Early on you have `running to the window at full speed I pull her back, bear hugging her in my lap` I see him sitting and having an awful long reach to grab a woman running at full speed. For me, it`s an awkward description. Unless he chases after her and then pulls her close to his lap as he sits down.
I`ll have to catch up on the other chapters. Thanks.

Hey, I liked this. Your writing is very good! This is the first chapter I've read of your story, and the two characters are very interesting. Colton seems like a good guy, and it looks like he will probably win over Becka's trust.
I like how you intersperse dialog with thoughts about how it is affecting the conversants ("Why would you do that?" Those emerald eyes cut me, "What are you trying to pull?" Her guard is up, and the walls grow by the second. I meant what I said, but I hope it doesn't come to that.) It's very well done.
There were a few typos: A misplaced ?" in the sentence: ...my head meets the desk?"
Another misplaced ?" in the sentence: ...sends waves of pain up my arm?"
Should be "submitting to sleep" instead of "submitting the sleep" in the final paragraph.

You start right off with a perfect simile. Not many use similes for fear of sounding cliche. I know I am going to enjoy this. This is a good sensory imagery: "Their metallic steps hid whispered words of guests." I love the plethora of metaphorical sensory images. You appeal to many senses each time:
"We gaze at the ceiling, tracing the canyons formed from disrepair. " I cannot find anything that needs adjusting.
