Seth tried to imagine that day—and couldn’t. He ached to know on a tangible, visceral level that she loved them. “I have to believe it will be.”
“Morning.” Heavenly opened the slider. “What are you two doing out here?”
They both turned to find her stepping onto the patio wearing a silky white robe, hair tousled and looking sleepy-eyed. Seth had never seen a more gorgeous sight.
Scooting his chair back from the table, Beck patted his thigh and opened his arms. Heavenly smiled and carefully crawled onto his lap, snagging his coffee cup and taking a big gulp.
“Just enjoying some coffee while we wait for sunrise.” Seth smiled, hiding all traces of unease.
She nodded and took another long swallow, peering at Beck. “I thought you got up early this morning to do rounds.”
“I did, and I’m late.” He grinned and kissed the tip of her nose. “But I’m glad I got to see you before I left.”
“I’m glad I got to see you, too. But I don’t want to keep you from your patients.” She eased off his lap, then turned to Seth. “How was your night?”
“Productive.” He snagged her around the waist. “Come here, angel.”
When he settled her gently on his thighs, she winced, then peered at him over her shoulder. “Um…”
“I’m just being gentle. I already saw the marks on your ass when I got home.”
She darted a nervous glance Beck’s way. The surgeon simply smiled and winked before draining his coffee cup.
When Heavenly turned to Seth again, he couldn’t resist pressing a tender kiss to the lush bow of her lips.
When they lifted away, shy mischief glinted in her eyes. “Beck and I had a…nice night. It was very, um…pleasant.”
In unison, they all burst out laughing.
