“Fucking hell, India Savage wants hearts and flowers.”
I went up on my forearm. Hearts and flowers! As if! I was a Rock Chick!
“I do not!” I snapped.
He was grinning at me. “Yes you do.”
“No I donot,” I retorted.
He rolled me on my back and onto me again. His hands went into the hair at either side of my face and he looked me in the eyes.
“I don’t do hearts and flowers, but I promise you won’t be disappointed.”
“You are so cocky.”
“Honey, I don’t give a fuck if you don’t believe it’s gonna be good between us. I know we’ll both enjoy me proving it to you.”
Wow.
My breath escaped me and I stared.
He ignored my stare, rolled off me again, twisted me around and fit my back to his front and held me tight against him.
I expected my mind to whirl. Instead, I gave into my exhaustion, his warmth, and the sweet feeling in the pit of my belly that I was exactly where I was supposed to be.

I woke up,my body snuggled against Lee’s back, my cheek pressed against his shoulder blade.
I peered beyond him to the clock. It was five after six.
Unfortunately, as warm and comfy as I was, I was awake. And when I was awake, I needed to get up.
Since Lee was still sleeping, I carefully pulled away and started to roll to the other side of the bed.
He turned, snagged me by the waist and tucked me into him.
I waited for something to happen and then realized he was still asleep.
“Lee.”
“Mm?” he mumbled, all sexy-sleepy.
“Honey, I need to go to the bathroom.”
His arm loosened and I slid away.
I picked up the red lace underwear, which Lee didn’t rip off me (though it was close). I put it on and slipped on Lee’s shirt, buttoning it up the front.
I went to the bathroom, brushed, flossed and washed my face. I grabbed an elastic hair band and tied my hair in a messy knot on top of my head and dug through the cabinets until I found my new toothbrush stash. I had three, not because I needed them for overnight guests, but because I was freakish about dental hygiene. I set one on the counter by the sink with the toothpaste in case Lee got up.
I walked downstairs, started the coffee going and let Chowleena out. I opened the gate between mine and Tod and Stevie’s back yard so Chowleena had plenty of room to move.
I was on my second cup of coffee and sifting through mail, sitting at my dining room table with both of my heels on the seat in front of me and my knees to my chest when Lee rounded the bottom of the stairs.
His hair was sexy messy and he had a day’s worth of stubble. He’d put on his jeans, but had only buttoned enough buttons to keep them on his hips while he moved. His eyes were still slightly sleepy as if he’d just that instant woken up and they were on me as he stalked toward me.
“Hey,” I said.
