"Oh. Okay."

She slides up slightly in the bed, adjusting the blanket around her.

"I have to go to the bathroom," she says.

I watch as she gets up from the bed. Naked. My dick is already twitching. I can feel it rising, hardening almost immediately. I try to restrain myself. I know I went overboard last night. Hours of her. Hours of touching, tasting, claiming every part of her. But it's damn near impossible to control myself with her.

A few minutes later, she comes back out. But she's wearing a robe now. The white hotel robe tied at her waist, covering everything I was just looking at.

I'm disappointed.

She sits on the bed across from me and reaches for the orange juice. She takes a sip, then bites a piece of toast.

"Come on," I say, standing from the bed.

"Let's go. They set everything up out on the kitchen table."

Winter looks at me and nods. I walk out of the bedroom and she follows as we make our way out to the dining area where the plates are arranged on the table. I lift each of the lids, showing her what I ordered.

"Scrambled eggs. Pancakes." I point to the covered dishes.

"Bacon. Sausage. I wasn't sure what you prefer."

Winter steps closer, looking at the spread.

"Oh, it smells amazing."

"Coffee as well," I say, gesturing to the carafe.

"And fresh fruit. The works."

She smiles, a genuine smile that makes something in my chest tighten. I watch her movements as she sits down at the table. The way she tucks her hair behind her ear. The way the robe shifts slightly when she reaches for the coffee pot. The way her fingers wrap around the handle with careful precision.

She pours herself a cup and takes a sip, closing her eyes briefly as if savoring it. I sit across from her and serve myself some eggs and bacon. We eat in comfortable silence for a few minutes, the kind of silence that doesn't need to be filled with unnecessary conversation. Then Winter looks up.

"So what's on the agenda for today?"

I finish chewing and set down my fork.

"I have another meeting with the on-site contractor at the Old Naples location. Some final issues to resolve."

She nods, taking a bite of pancake.

"Okay."

There's a pause, then she asks, "Do you need me to go with you?"

"Not if you don't want to." I lean back in my chair slightly.

"But I'll have something planned for us later this afternoon."

Winter's eyebrows raise. "Like what?"

I allow myself a small smile.

"You'll have to find out."

She shakes her head, but there's a hint of amusement in her expression.
