Caleb rubbed at his eyes with one hand and met her gaze. He smiled. “Hey,” he said, looking rested and good.
“Good morning.”
“Yes, it is.” His gaze roamed down Summer’s face to her breasts. He shot Jack a sheepish look, but didn’t apologize for where he’d spent the night.
“I take it I’m late for work.”
“By more than four hours. It’s after ten.”
Surprised, Caleb met Summer’s steady gaze and silently thanked her with a look. She brushed her fingers through his hair as she’d done so many times last night that the gesture felt familiar now.
“Sorry, man, I overslept.”
Jack studied Caleb for a minute before he answered. “The point is, you slept.”
Caleb might have taken that answer to mean he’d slept and not spent the night making love to the woman underneath him. They didn’t often talk about it, but they shared the same experiences and suffered many of the same consequences.
“I have Summer to thank for that. She found me wandering outside last night.”
“Yeah, I heard you leave.”
Which meant Jack hadn’t slept either, and Caleb hadn’t made it out to help Jack with the horses this morning, leaving him to do all the work.
“Sorry. I’ll get dressed and be down to help you...”
“I’ll see you when you get there,” Jack said with an easy tone and turned and walked out the front door like nothing happened or mattered.
Caleb laid his head back on Summer’s breasts, indulging the raging beast inside him even as he ruthlessly beat him back from taking her right here on the couch. She’d saved him from another sleepless night, and he wouldn’t repay her generosity by forgoing all the things they’d denied each other these last months. She deserved better, and he’d give it to her no matter how hard his body protested the self-imposed celibacy. He’d gotten through it this long, he could hang on until they shared a few dates, cemented their relationship on solid ground, and solidified their bond to each other.
Her fingers worked through his hair in that hypnotic way that eased all his muscles and made all the thoughts in his head disappear.
“What time do you have to be at work?” he asked, wishing for more time to stay like this, but knowing they both had responsibilities.
“An hour ago.”
He shot up and leaned over her with his hands on both sides of her shoulders. “Ah, honey, I’m sorry. Why didn’t you wake me?”
“I fell asleep, too. Besides, you needed the rest.” Her hands came up to cup his face. “You look so good this morning.”
“How could I not, waking up with you?”
She smiled, leaned up, and kissed him. He kept things light, brushing his lips against hers like he had all the time in the world.
She fell back into the pillow and smiled up at him. “Want to play hooky with me today?”
“Yes, but...”
“You’re already late and you don’t want to give Jack any reason to think you and I seeing each other is a bad thing.”
“You know me so well.”
“You better get up then.”
“I don’t want to,” he teased, rocking his hard cock against her sweet center where his hips rested between her wide thighs.
“I’m already late, another hour won’t matter.” Completely serious, her gaze locked on his.
“Ah, Summer, you deserve so much better.”
