He ignored it as he placed her gently on the bed. He pulled the blankets up and decided he was a major perv because he couldn’t help but kiss the top of her head.
She smelled too good for words. His entire body was rigid with desire, but he forced himself back to the couch. It was too small for him and the bad kind of lumpy. He wasn’t going to be sleeping well that night; that much was for sure.
But as he tried to fall asleep, he couldn’t help but smile to himself.
His mate might be stubborn, but she would have to admit it was sweet that he’d given her the bed in the end.

“Hey!”
Nero shut his eyes tighter, hoping that whoever was bothering his sleep would just go away. He was exhausted, having barely slept. He huffed out a breath and tried to turn.
Of course, that’s when he remembered he was not actually on a bed but on a very narrow and uncomfortable couch.
He crashed onto the floor, but thanks to his shifter speed, he was able to turn it into a sort of push-up. He pushed off the floor and stood, shaking sleep from his head.
Valentine stood there with her mouth gaping. “What the hell was that?”
He rubbed his stomach like he did every morning to wake himself up, but that’s when he spotted his morning wood. Val was staring right at it. He should’ve probably grabbed a pillow to hide behind, but it wasn’t the first time she had seen it, and if he had anything to say about it, it wouldn’t be the last time either.
“What do you mean?” he yawned.
“Why did you just do a push-up out of a bed?”
“I was trying to cover my fall. Did it work? Look cool?”
She slowly shook her eyes, her eyes still glued to his dick. “Are you gonna … you know … get dressed?”
He grinned. “No. Not just yet. Why?”
“Because …” She motioned toward his cock and quickly averted her eyes. “Why is it always pointing at me?”
He snorted, trying to stop from laughing, but failed miserably. He couldn’t stop. He laughed a deep belly laugh. “You probably don’t want to know that it’s because I’m attracted to you.”
She pursed her lips at him. “I’m a virgin. Not an idiot. I know that guys wake up with erections. Something about your testosterone pooling in your junk while you sleep.”
He continued to laugh. “Something like that.”
“Well, put it away. And while you’re at it, can you explain to me why I woke up on the bed?” She arched a brow at him, waiting for an explanation.
Nero shrugged. “I don’t know what you mean.”
“Did you seriously put me in the bed while I was asleep?”
“Well, it wasn’t the tooth fairy,” he said. “You’re welcome.”
“I was trying to be nice!”
“And I was trying to be nicer,” he replied. “Did it work?”
She looked away. “Maybe. I slept well. Did you?”
“I’ve been in worse sleeping arrangements. Don’t worry about me.”
“Right. Well, we should probably hit the road soon. We’re wasting good driving hours.”
Nero studied Valentine carefully. “Let me ask you something.”
