What had become of his brain? Last night and again today, no protection. He had never been so careless in his life.
Thank God he had a box of condoms in the night table drawer to use next time.
He wanted children but unlike some of his contemporaries, he wanted them after he was married. Wanted them born to a woman who was his wife.
His wife…
He lay there for a long time before he fell asleep.
“Rise and shine, sleepyhead.”
Alyssa dug deeper into the blankets.
“Whoever you are, go away.”
“Whoever I am?” the voice said indignantly.
“You want me to think you’re Lucas Reyes. But the real Lucas would never be so cruel as to wake me.” Alyssa stretched luxuriously, loving the feel of the Egyptian cotton sheets against her naked body. “How do I know you’re him?”
Just as she’d hoped, a warm hand cupped her face. A coffee-flavored mouth claimed hers.
“Are you convinced?” a husky voice murmured.
“Mmm. Is that coffee?”
“Uh-huh. A whole pot of it’s waiting for you on the balcony. Sound good?”
“One more kiss and I’ll let you know.”
“Behave yourself,” Lucas said sternly. “Or I’ll be back in that bed with you.”
Alyssa laughed softly and reached for him. He caught her hands, kissed them and brought them to her sides.
“If I get into in that bed, I’ll just have to send all this stuff back. I mean, I’ll have to assume you don’t want any of it.”
“The coffee?”
“Not the coffee, sleepyhead. The other things.”
Alyssa sat up, clutching the duvet and blinking the sleep from her eyes.
“What other things?”
Lucas grinned. “Ta da,” he said, and stepped aside.
Her mouth dropped open. Boxes were stacked like building blocks behind him. Big ones. Small ones. Some were wrapped in glossy paper, others were tied with gold ribbon, silver ribbon, white satin ribbon…
“Lucas?”
His grin widened. “Open one, chica.”
“But…What is all this?”
He picked up a flat white box and tossed it to her. “Why not find out?”
Alyssa pulled at the silver ribbon and gasped. The box was filled to overflowing with sexy silk panties and equally sexy matching bras.
“I didn’t know what colors you’d like,” he said modestly, “so I ordered them all.”
