I narrowed my eyes. “I wasn’t ogling your ass.”
“It’s okay. I don’t mind.”
“I wasn’t ogling your ass.”
Hunter turned back around to the stove, reached up to the cabinet on the right to grab a dish, and then used tongs to pick the bacon from the frying pan.
“The more we deny the truth, the more power it has over us.” He set the plate on the table before returning his attention to me with a cheeky grin. “On second thought, keep denying it. It’ll just make you focus on it more.”
“You’re really a big ass, you know that?”
Hunter held a hand to his ear. “What’s that? You really dig my ass?”
“Are you always this obnoxious in the morning? No wonder you live alone.”
“It hasn’t been morning for hours. It’s almost three o’clock. Come. Sit and eat. Your eggs will be done in a minute.”
“Three o’clock?” I walked to the table forgetting about his ass comment. “I slept the entire day away.”
“You needed it.”
He poured a mug of coffee and held it up to me. “Cream and sugar?”
“Yes, please. I can’t believe how long I slept. What time did you wake up?”
“Around eleven.”
Hunter brought me coffee. “Thank you.” As he handed it to me, my eyes did an involuntary sweep of his chest. It would have been fast and harmless, had the jackass not watched me do it. God, the man didn’t miss a beat. He quirked a brow and smirked.
“Shut up. Go put some clothes on if you don’t want me to look.”
“I never said I didn’t want you to look.”
“What are you, a peacock? Walking around fanning your tail feathers, trying to attract a female?”
“That’s not a bad idea. Let me show you my tail.”
I couldn’t help but laugh. “Let’s start over. Good morning, Hunter.”
His smile was genuine. He nodded. “Good morning, Natalia.”
“Did you sleep well?”
“I did. You?”
“I can’t remember the last time I was out that cold. That bed is really comfortable.”
“I’m glad you enjoyed it. Just an FYI, the one in the master bedroom is the same model if you’d like to try it out next.”
I shook my head. “You just can’t help yourself, can you? It always comes back to sex.”
He chuckled and went to the stove to get the eggs. “I spoke to Derek a little while ago. He said Anna and the baby are doing great, and they’ll probably go home tomorrow morning.”
“Wow. So fast. I think I’d want a few days at the hospital for people to take care of me before I went home.”
“Derek will take good care of her.”
“You’re right. I forget she has an amazing husband.” I scoffed. “I forget they exist sometimes.”
