Then, I fell asleep again.
Not knowing what magic had brought her here, I just hoped I’d wake up and it wouldn’t be a dream…

Conor was hot.
I wasn’t just talking appearance-wise which, being an O’Donnelly, was a given. I meant he was like a furnace. He gave off more heat than a radiator, and my feet, always cold, were toasty warm thanks to how I’d tucked them between his calves.
My face was pushed into his side, his arm was around me, and our legs were a tangled knot.
The couch was too small for us, the cushions not wide enough for two people to lie flat, and yet, I hadn’t slept so well in years.
The only reason I’d woken up in the first place was because I knew he was texting someone. His arm was flexing slightly and a soft laugh rumbled from him that made his chest vibrate against my cheek.
For a moment, I just enjoyed myself. His citrusy scent filled my senses, he was warm and comfortable, and he felt so fucking good beneath me that I knew I’d made the right move last night when I’d found him on the couch.
While I could have rested a lot longer, quality usurped quantity with this man.
“Who are you talking to?” I rasped drowsily, nuzzling my nose into his ribs.
“My brothers.”
He answered so easily that I blinked.
Was everything so simple with him?
He’d make a shit spy.
“What are they saying?”
“Declan said Shay got drunk for the first time last night at a party and puked all over the girl he’s got a crush on.”
My lips curved. “Fuck. He’ll be mortified.”
“That’s more of a punishment than what Aela’s got him doing for getting drunk at sixteen…
“Through his dad, Shay’s apparently begging me to eradicate all online footage of it happening from Instagram.”
“That’s extreme.”
“I don’t think he wants Inessa and Camille to know who his crush is.”
Frowning, I asked, “What do your sisters-in-law have to do with anything?”
“Their baby sister is his crush.”
I hooted at that, then something occurred to me. “Don’t they use Snapchat now?”
“Who?”
“Kids?”
“Apparently not. He’s the one who pointed me to Instagram.”
I hummed.
