“Please,” I said. “I need you inside me, but only if you promise not to freak out tomorrow.”
It wasn’t fair of me to ask, but I wasn’t sure I could handle the sting of rejection after I’d opened myself up to him.
“I won’t,” he said, pulling away for long enough to rustle in a drawer for a condom and sheath himself. Then he was back, pressing into me, bit by bit, filling my body at the same time as his tender smile filled my heart. That smile promised all kinds of things, and I was just fool enough to believe them.
I cried out as he settled deep within me. Holding his weight off my body, he leaned over and kissed me. Then he started to move. I clasped him tight, rocking with him, urging him on with sounds and touches. Even though we’d only spent one night together, we moved as though we’d done this a hundred times before. Seamlessly, our bodies perfectly in sync. I dragged his face back to mine for a desperate kiss and the taste of him drove me over the edge. I whimpered and shuddered as pleasure tore through me. Warren stiffened, and I felt him jerk inside me before he stilled.
For a moment, we caught our breaths in silence, then he got off me and disposed of the condom. The sweat cooled on my skin, and nerves began to crowd my stomach. Was this the part where he changed his mind about everything?
But he didn’t ask me to leave. Instead, he crawled onto the bed behind me and wrapped his arms around me, kissing the side of my neck.
“Want to order some dinner?” he asked.
I giggled, recalling that neither of us had yet managed to eat, even though we’d both gone to the pub with that intention. “That sounds really good.”

HANNAH
“Wakey wakey, beautiful.”
I murmured in my sleep and rolled over, burying my face in a pillow.
“Come on, sweetheart.” A hand landed on my shoulder. “Time for breakfast.”
That voice. Why was it so familiar?
I became rigid as the events of last night rushed back to me.
Drunken Destiny.
London crawling for the exit.
My awkward conversation with Warren and Cal.
Warren coming after me.
Our heart to heart.
Falling into bed.
All the deliciousness that followed.
I stretched, enjoying the way my muscles loosened, and rolled onto my back, looking up into a pair of bright green eyes set in a rugged face. My cheeks flushed as I realized I’d have beard burn today from that sexy black scruff rubbing over my skin.
“Hi.”
He smiled back, his expression soft. “Hi.”
If I’d been worried how he’d react this morning, those concerns evaporated. He clearly wasn’t upset, and he didn’t seem to be blowing hot and cold, or to have any regrets.
“I’m making pancakes,” he said. “The first one is about to go into the pan.”
“Pancakes?” I perked up. I didn’t usually do much for breakfast beyond coffee, but I loved a good pancake.
“With chocolate chips,” he added sheepishly. “Because that’s how Ruby likes them, and they’ve grown on me too.”
“Sounds good.” I sat up, the sheets pooling around my waist, and enjoyed the flare of desire in his eyes. Ignoring the urge to tempt him back into bed, I got up and pulled on yesterday’s clothes.
