Cash’s fingertips graze over my calf, up and down, idly. “It’s been two weeks, genius.”
The epithet forces a surprise belly laugh out of me. “Sometimes my main characters hop in the sack within minutes of meeting each other. Two weeks is a lifetime.”
“Mmm,” he hums thoughtfully, his palm running up my side, up to my shoulder, then down the length of my arm. He threads our fingers together. “I’d like to read something like that.”
This wakes me up out of my hazy dream state. “You would?”
“Not right now. Not while I’m in bed with you. Not yet.”
I bite my lip. “Soon?” I ask.
“Definitely,” he rasps, rolling on top of me and covering my mouth in a kiss that’s more heated than the last. It’s too easy to simply wrap one leg around his hips. And then the other one. Cash’s hard body feels so good as he presses me into the mattress, his arms caging me in, his breath and spit mingling with mine, his tight erection pressing into my pelvis.
“What happened to sleepy time?” I whisper, smiling against his mouth.
His frustrated groan makes me whimper, and still, he gathers the strength to roll off me.
“Right,” he sighs, stretching out on his back, one arm reaching for me. I go to him like a moth to a flame. Cash tucks me close against his side, allowing me to rest my head in that perfect spot just below his collarbone.
I grudgingly grasp at something to focus on. “Tell me about Dallas,” I whisper. “Do you like it better than Michigan?”
“Sometimes yes and sometimes no,” he says, and I can hear the sleepiness in his voice as his fingers play softly in the loose tendrils that have escaped from my bedtime topknot. “Only thing I miss is the trees.”
“Don’t they have trees in Texas?”
“They do,” he says. “But it’s not like here. Nothing is quite like home. And then there’s the you problem…”
My stomach clenches. The what? Themeproblem? What does he mean by that?
I won’t find out, at least not tonight, because Cash is one sleepy man. His breath evens out, and his fingers cease their twisting of my loose hair.
I’m…a problem?
Calm down, Caroline. Remember, he’s probably still a little drunk.
Well, at least one of us will get some sleep tonight.
Oh, how the tables have turned.
ChapterNine
Cash
I awaken smelling like Caroline.
Her sweet scent is everywhere as I open my eyes, a smile on my face.
She lies beside me, her little feet touching mine under the blanket.
Is it creepy to lie here on my side and watch her sleep? She’s an angel with mussed hair, parted lips, and a tiny snore. And, yeah, there’s a little spot of drool on her pillow, which I find adorable.
Drool is adorable now…yeah, I’ve got it bad.
I can finally admit I think I had it bad from the start.
Details from last night come back to me. We kissed. A lot. By the fire, in the water, in bed.
Wait, did we…have sex?
