When I yawned awake the next morning, Nora was still naked in my arms. The light was blinding through my windows. I cursed myself for not having gotten any kind of curtains up yet. I’d never been a morning person in my life, and I certainly wasn’t one today.
I tried to move my arm, but she made a noise of protest and snuggled in closer. It was the most adorable thing that I’d ever seen in my life. I should have felt an ounce of regret for what had happened last night. But I didn’t.
I’d tried to stay away from Nora. When she’d looked at me like that and told me she wanted me, how could anyone fucking blame me?
Well, I had a feeling that Campbell would blame me.
I cringed at that thought.
Right. Last night had been a dream, and reality was creeping in with the morning sunlight.
Campbell Abbey was not forgiving, and he had a temper. I’d seen it firsthand. He hadn’t forgiven Michael for quitting the band. They still hadn’t reconciled over it. The rest of the band had spent time with Michael and worked out their differences. But as much as Campbell loved Michael—and I knew he did—he hadn’t even let Michael help in production on the album.
Campbell might be my best friend, but I wasn’t exempt from his anger. And the easiest way to rile it was disloyalty. However he saw that.
With a sigh, I rolled my arm out from under Nora. She tugged the covers tighter around her. The urge to crawl back under those covers and pleasure her until she cried out again was unmistakable. If I didn’t get out of this room right now, I’d do just that.
So, I threw on a pair of boxers and headed into the kitchen. Maybe some coffee would clear my head.
I heard the buzzing once the pot was percolating. Locating my phone, which had somehow been discarded on the kitchen table, I realized I’d missed a few calls from Campbell.
I swallowed. “Fuck.”
Then, I called him back. “Hey, man.”
“Where the fuck have you been all morning? It’s almost noon. I’m halfway to your place.”
My eyes shot wide. “What? Why? What happened?”
“I’ll tell you when I get there.”
“Sure.” I hoped that my voice sounded calm and not like I was freaking the fuck out.
“Be there in five.” Campbell ended the call.
I launched across the room, ignoring the coffee entirely and rushing back to my bedroom.
“Fuck, fuck, fuck,” I muttered.
Campbell hadn’t sounded mad, which meant he didn’t know what had happened last night. He wouldn’t have bothered calling me if he’d found out about Nora. He would have shown up and put his fist through my face. But that didn’t mean I wanted him to show up now and do it.
I scrambled into the room. “Nora.”
She groaned and rolled back over. “Sleep,” she muttered in the softest voice, which made me want to crawl right back in there with her.
“Campbell’s on his way.”
Her eyes flew open. “What?”
“Campbell is on his way here right now. He called and said he was five minutes out.”
She wrenched upward, tugging the sheet tight to her breasts. “Fuck.”
“Pretty much.”
She ran a hand back through her hair. Her eyes slid down my exposed chest and down lower, lower, lower to my boxers. “That’s disappointing. I was having a really good dream.”
My cock twitched at the implication in those words. “What sort of dream?”
Her cheeks showed a hint of pink. “If only we had time…”
I looked to the ceiling, cursing Campbell’s name. “If only.”
Nora looked suddenly self-conscious as she searched the floor for her dress. We’d kicked it to the other side of the room at some point. I went and grabbed it, handing it to her.
She blushed again, and I hastily turned around, so she could tug it back over her head. I felt ridiculous since I had literally kissed every inch of her yesterday. But this wasn’t how I’d planned to wake her up either.
A loud knock came from the door.
