She tipped her head back against his chest as he dipped his fingers under the front panel of her panties. “Depends on how burnt you like your eggs.”

“Over easy.”

“Then yes, you’re distracting me.”

“I think you are very capable.” He circled the pads of his middle fingers over her mound then under to find her slick for him. Her nipples beaded up under her Firefly t-shirt.

“If you make me splatter grease, I’m going to find ways to exact my revenge.”

He laughed and slipped his hand free from her jeans, snagging a piece of bacon. “Tastes even better,” he said and licked his fingers.

She popped him on the ass before he could get by. Because this was not the first morning they’d done this, he gathered plates and started coffee. A few minutes later, they dug into their breakfast.

“Where are they calling from today?”

He dipped the corner of his toast into the yolk. “I think they’re in Philly.” Part of him missed the road. The playing, the crowds. At least he’d liked the crowds once upon a time. Now, he never knew who he was going to see.

She closed her hand over his. “Miss them, too?”

He nodded and tossed the last corner of his toast into the air. Fiona caught it with a snap of her teeth. “They’re out on the road with Cole right now. He’s a good guy.”

Cole Deveraux had played with him two summers ago, when he’d met Izzy. Now the country rock singer had his first hit song and was doing a mid-sized club circuit that had started the week before. It was the perfect kind of tour to keep All the King’s Men occupied. He just hated that they had to be occupied. That they weren’t working on another album or touring.

Even if he and Izzy weren’t holed up in the back of beyond, he wasn’t even writing music, for fuck’s sake.

Izzy laced her fingers with his. “You all right?”

He swiped his thumb over the side of her hand. “Yeah. I just miss the idiots.”

“Me too. So,” she stood up, “let’s clear our plates and head down to the lodge.”

He stood up with her and palmed the back of her neck. He brought her up on her toes and kissed her. Her taste reminded him why he was doing this. Solidified the plan that he’d been following.

When he stepped back, she blinked slumberous eyes. “What was that for?”

“Always keeping my eye on the prize, Izzy.”

She slipped her arms around his middle and hugged him tight for a moment before picking up their dishes and bringing them to the sink. After they cleaned up, they bundled into parkas for the brisk walk down to the lodge.

Fiona ran in and out of the woods as she chased whatever woodland creature was still alive in all this damn cold.

Logan pulled open the large doors and wished he could unsee all of what was before him. Including the lily white ass thrusting for all he was worth. He spun around. “Oh, hey there.”

“What?” Izzy looked up at him with a tilt to her head. “What? Our video chat’s in five minutes.”

“Sorry,” Logan called out over his shoulder.

The newlyweds were laughing. “Okay, it’s safe,” said the woman.

“Oh.” Izzy’s eyes went wide. She went on her toes and tried to look over his shoulder.

He gave her an incredulous look and she shrugged. “What were they doing?”

“Well, the guy was definitely getting it into the corner pocket.”

She let out a peal of laughter and skirted around him. “Sorry, guys. We just have to check in at home.”

The pretty blond—Tracy, he was pretty sure—blushed. “We didn’t realize anyone else was, um…coming. Oh, God, I—”
