“That’s nice of you.”
“I do what I can.”
He chuckled. “How are you feeling?”
“Much better. Whatever medication you gave me did the trick.”
“My friend called it in for you. My assistant brought it over shortly after.” Sweeping a piece of hair out of my face, he asked, “What time is it?”
I loved the adoring expression on his face. No one had ever looked at me the way he was. Despite not wanting to break our connection, I grabbed his wrist and read his watch.
“It’s almost noon.”
“I don’t remember the last time I slept in this late.”
Bringing my attention back to him, I questioned, “Are you an early riser?”
“Mmm hmm.”
“How early?”
“Usually by five A.M.”
“Five in the morning? That’s crazy! Who wakes up at five A.M.?”
“I get a workout in before I head to my office.”
“Are you trying to tell me you’re a workaholic?”
He smiled, rubbing my back. “That’s what happens when you own your own agency.”
“That’s pretty admirable. You’re still so young.”
“I thought I was ancient?”
“You might still have a few good years left.”
“Do I get to spend them with you?”
“If you play your cards right.”
“Well, what do you know, I’m actually holding four of a kind.”
“I’ll see your four of a kind and raise you a royal flush.”
He smiled, big and wide. “My girl knows how to play poker.”
Again with my girl.
I didn’t call him out on it. Instead, I changed the subject. “Do you know your body temperature runs hot?”
He arched an eyebrow. “What?”
“You’re very warm. Almost like a heated blanket.”
“Good to know.”
“No other girl has told you that before?”
