She settled into me right away, like her favorite teddy bear.
“What’s for dinner?” I asked, my lips brushing her hairline.
“Why do you ask me?” she asked in a raspy voice.
“Because you’re the head chef here.”
She grinned against my chest. “Wish I had my own chef to make me food.”
“Eh. He’s got an attitude.”
“How does he have an attitude when you’re his boss?”
“Who said I’m his boss?” I asked with a laugh. “He’s in charge of the food, so he’s the boss, if you ask me.”
She chuckled. “I like that attitude.”
“He’s very particular about what he serves, based on what’s available and in season, so I don’t have a lot of say in what we eat. Not that I’m complaining, because it’s not like I have to prepare it and clean up afterward.”
“That breakfast was good. Those biscuits were divine.”
“Come over on Friday night. We’ll have breakfast together on Saturday morning.”
“I’m not sure what I want more, the food or you.”
I looked down at her as a grin stretched across my lips. “We both know that answer.”
She lifted her head to look me in the eye. “The food?”
I chuckled before I tugged her into me, kissing her hard on the mouth. “Let’s order something.”
“What time is it?” she asked. “It’s got to be?—”
“One-thirty.”
She released a loud sigh. “Everything’s closed.”
“Don’t worry, baby.” I grabbed my phone and fired off a text message. “I’ll get you fed.”
“How are you going to do that?”
I set the phone on the nightstand. “You’ll see.” I propped my arm underneath my head and looked at her, my fingers sliding through her soft hair. She was on her side, her body propped on her elbow, her beautiful body on display.
She held my gaze, her fingers gently moving across my chest. “So, how have you been?”
“Fine. You?”
“I can tell you’ve been angry with me.”
“How?”
“I can just tell.” The playfulness in her eyes slowly disappeared. Now she looked serious, reflective.
“Forget it.”
“How can I forget it when you’re ignoring me.”
“Ignoring you? I’m here, aren’t I?”
