Chapter Ten

The next morning, Mia was rudely awakened by the bedside alarm. She turned at the harsh sound and pounded at the thin, black clock until the annoying sound stopped.

It was a little after six in the morning. Her sleep fatigued mind was barely functional as she rolled out of the large bed and padded down the hall to the living room. The shades on the windows were drawn, letting in a little of the soft morning light.

She found Nate in the same place she had left him last night. This was his third night sleeping on the sofa, and he had to be feeling it by now. He was obviously too tall for the couch. His feet practically hung over the side. Last night she had insisted he take his bed back and she would just sleep with Mikey but again he had refused.

Mia walked up to the sofa where he slept on his stomach. He was naked except for the navy blue boxers he wore that were exposed through the thin sheet barely covering him. Mia couldn’t help but admire the firm sinew of his back. Memories of stroking and clinging to his muscular frame as he moved over her flooded her senses.

Her mouth grew dry and she flushed all over from the erotically vivid memory.

Without thinking, she ran her fingers through his hair. “Nate,” she whispered softly. “Wake up.” At her light touch and soft command, he slowly turned his head with a grunt. “What time is it?” His voice was gruff from sleep.

“The alarm went off in the bedroom,” she replied. “So I guess it’s time for work?”

He sat up with another groan, rubbing his neck. Even with his mussed hair and unshaven face, he looked impossibly handsome.

“You can’t keep sleeping out here like this,” she whispered, crawling on the couch until she was slightly behind him. With her legs tucked beneath her, she placed her hands on his shoulders and began firmly kneading his tense muscles. She was a bit amazed by her boldness but his half-sleep state made it easier.

He leaned his head forward and groaned with what she hoped was pleasure. “I forgot how good those hands were.”

Mia smiled, enjoying the feel of his muscles easing beneath her fingers. His shoulders were broader then she remembered. The heat radiating from him was as soothing as it was magnetic. She wanted to press her body fully against his and absorb his heat.

Her hands faltered as she gave herself a mental slap and slammed the door shut on those dangerous thoughts.

She concentrated on the familiarity of her movements, remembering all of his pressure points.

“Are you seeing anyone?”

They both tensed at her unexpectedly blunt question. Heat rushed to her cheeks. Where the hell did that come from?

Mia dropped her hands as he turned to face her. She glanced away, too embarrassed to look at him.

“I’m sorry,” she whispered. “That’s none of my business. You don’t—”

“No,” he said, voice low and warm. “I’m not seeing anyone.”

She brought her eyes up to his.
