Then went her jeans, which she left in a pile on the floor while she stood in front of me in a matching pair of cotton underwear that was just a tiny band at her hips and barely covered her smooth mound.

Letting out a heavy sigh, I let a few curses free as I realized how fucked I was.

With her dark hair splayed against her creamy skin, and those dark lashes fanning her cheeks, she looked like a dream. A long-lost, soaking wet dream I never knew I wanted.

Bending her leg, she pressed her knee into the side of my bed and slowly crawled on. Leaving her ass on display, she lifted one knee cap and edged along the expanse of my bed. My cock twitched behind my boxers as I watched her, and it honestly felt like I couldn’t stop. I couldn’t move. I could barely even breathe. She was in my bed, waiting forme.How the hell did I get this lucky?

“You going to join me or just stand there?”

Shit.

Jumping into action, I carried the candle to my side table and then pulled the covers back. Assessing her tiny smile, and feeling my heart hurl itself against my ribs, I pressed my knees to the soft mattress just like she had. Rae mirrored my movements as I crawled under the blankets and kicked my legs out, tucking them under the top sheet.

Rae’s head landed on her pillow, a relaxed sigh leaving her lungs as her lashes fluttered.

I didn’t wait for her approval. I wrapped my arm around her waist and tugged her to my chest, forcing her nose into my neck.

This felt right, her warm body against mine while rain slammed against the window. I caressed her back in soothing strokes, feeling her breathing slow, until eventually it evened out and she was asleep. Smiling into her hair, I let my eyes close and left my heart wide open, willing to accept anything Raelyn Jackson would be willing to give me, secretly hoping it would be everything.

The soundof crowing woke me.

Fluttering my eyes open, the room was all murky with strokes of early dawn, making me snuggle further into the cocoon of blankets surrounding me. I wanted to go back to sleep, but I heard fabric shuffling, and then the sound of a zipper. I sat up, letting the blankets fall to my waist.

“What are you doing?”

Davis stopped zipping his jeans, tipped his face up, and smiled at me.

“You sound sexy as hell in the morning.”

I returned his smile, leaning back on my palms while I tried to assess where he was headed.

“The sun hasn’t come out yet, where are you going?”

He moved around the bed, dipping down to grab his shirt from the floor, “Just have to feed the animals. Go back to sleep. I’ll make us breakfast in a little bit.”

His lips pressed into my hair on top of my head and then his gaze lingered on my breasts, a fire blazing in them.

“If you’re feeding them, I want to help.” I swung the blankets off, wincing just the smallest bit as my feet touched the freezing floor.

“Sorry, I should have started a fire in here.”

I waved him off, prancing on my toes to the bathroom. “Do you have any socks? I didn’t bring any.”

“You don’t have to help, Rae, just go back to bed.”

Now that I could see the details of the bathroom, my jaw nearly became unhinged. Unlike his bedroom, which was a bit outdated, his bathroom looked like someone took one of my Pinterest boards and recreated it.

Porcelain hexagon tile ran under my toes, with a wall to wall glass shower off to the left. Inside was smooth white stone, a stone bench resting on each side of the shower, along with two shower heads. To my right there was a double farmhouse style sink, with dark bronze faucets and a mirror that took up the whole wall.

“I want to,” I yelled back, while finishing up. Once done using the restroom, I washed up, splashed water on my face, and dug out my toothbrush. Right as I finished, and I was still standing in just my underwear, he pushed the door open, holding out a rolled-up pair of socks.

Watching him in the mirror, I smirked as his gaze seemed to travel the length of me but stopped at my ass. His heated eyes glued me in place, until finally his gaze traveled up and met mine in the mirror.

With a sly smile, he stepped forward, pulling me into his firm chest. A chest that I snuggled the hell out of the night prior.
