He sighed. “We are late because you decided to wake up at noon.”
“Not my fault you didn’t wake me up—”
“I tried, but you slept like a log. And you were snoring.”
I gaped. “I do not snore!”
“Sure thing, love.”
I shook my head at his smug face and leaned my head back. Tomorrow we will reach Coral Springs.

ONE BED
SUMMER
“What do you mean you have only one bed?” Damon demanded. “I booked it online.”
The receptionist of the small motel where we had stopped for the night yawned and pointed at the small poster that said that they didn’t accept online bookings. “Either stay in the room or leave. We don’t care.”
Damon’s nose flared, and I was surprised that the receptionist hadn’t turned to ashes from his glare. “Fine. Then give me a refund. We will go somewhere else.”
He pointed to another policy that stated they didn’t offer refunds.
Damon scoffed, pulling out his phone. “I can sue you for this—”
I held his arm, stopping him. “Damon, it’s fine.”
We had sex in the same bed, but we never shared it afterwards. If I was passed out on his bed, he’d sleep in the guest room, or I’d take a shower and go to my room.
“Are you sure?” he asked, frowning.
I nodded. “I’m sure.”
Damon picked up our bags, and I took the key to our room, and admired the small bed in the middle with a dresser to the side. At least there was a small balcony.
“This is ridiculous,” he said underneath his breath, and I agreed. Damon would dwarf the bed, but we didn’t have any options. Might as well cuddle the grumpy bear for a night, hoping he won’t eat me by the morning.
“It’s okay.” I sat down on the bed, its bed springs creaking. “At least, it’s comfortable.”
He sighed and closed the door, leaving us both alone in the room. With one bed. I had read too many enemies-to-lovers vampire romances to know what happens if the enemies share one bed for a night.
I changed into my pajamas and brushed my teeth beside Damon, who used an electric toothbrush and eyed me when I tried to make him laugh mid-brushing.
“Are you okay?” He asked, foam on his lips.
I closed my eyes and shook my head. I was glad he was still Damon and hadn’t completely changed.
Once I was done with my skincare, I found him hogging more than half of the bed, reading some self-help book. My lips curled in distaste. “You are taking too much space. Move,” I ordered, getting underneath the blanket.
“You’re tiny. I need more room,” he retorted, closing his book and turning off his lights, bathing the room in complete darkness.
I could hear him breathe beside me as I wriggled my leg around him. “I need more room, too. I have long limbs.”
I could hear him rolling his eyes, and I yelped when he pressed closer to me, wrapping his arms around me. “Shh. Don’t move. The blanket is too small.”
It was small.
