Of all the ways Jonah had envisioned the moments after sex with Natalie, the fact that they might be filled with genuine, balls-out laughter had not crossed his mind. He’d never once had a partner laugh, happily or otherwise, post-coitus, and he’d damn sure never felt the sort of ease that had followed the whole untangle/wash up/get dressed routine he and Natalie had just gone through.

Not worrying about how long he had to lie there before he could feasibly slip away had been a relief. The fact that he hadn’t wanted to slip away at all?

He’d deal with that little emotion later.

“Okay,” Natalie said, the light from the fridge combining with the glow from the overheads to put the sexy flush of her cheeks on full display. “I think we’ve got enough here for me to get a couple of omelets together. There will be greens,” she warned, holding up a bag of spinach. “But we’ve got some ham in the deli drawer, too, so that’ll balance things out a little.”

Jonah stepped in next to her, nodding. “Fair enough. How can I help?”

“Oh, you don’t have to.” A wisp of hair that had never made it to the loose knot on top of her head drifted forward to frame her face as she waved him off. “Omelets are easy. Especially now that you actually own a skillet,” she teased.

Annnnd nope. “If they’re easy, then you can teach me,” he said, moving to the sink to wash his hands. “After today, I’ve discovered that I like working side by side with you.”

“Smooth talker.” Her arched brow made the word an accusation. Her sugar-sweet smile? Made it something else entirely. “You really don’t have to help me.”

“For someone who’s trying to let other people take care of her a little, you kind of suck at seizing your opportunities.”

Natalie pressed her lips together, but her smile still peeked out at the edges. “You are no longer charming.”

Ah, the disguise he could wear in his sleep. Jonah dished up his best chin lift/quick wink combo. “Oh, yes I am. If it makes you feel any better, I’ll let you split the dishes with me when we’re done,” he said, taking the carton of eggs and the bag of spinach from her.

“We’re using paper plates,” she argued.

Not that it made him budge. “Great. Less work on the back end for both of us.”

“You’re a pain in my ass.”

“Yep. I’m also still helping.”

Seeming to see that she was in a no-win situation—good Christ, she was tough—Natalie laughed. “Fine. Grab the cutting board from that drawer. And as much as I enjoy the view”—she paused to send an appreciative gaze from his face to the sweatpants he’d slung over his hips for the sake of decorum—“you should probably put on a shirt, just in case the oil pops.”

“Party pooper.”

Natalie’s smile was angelic even though her wild hair and tissue-thin tank top made him think nothing but purely wicked thoughts. “Trust me when I say it hurts me more than it hurts you.
