Rose woke up to the sensation of blankets being pulled off her. Still half asleep, she made an annoyed sound and tried to grab them, only to feel them being ripped out of her hands. Cool air washed over her bare skin, making her shiver.

Dammit. She didn’t want to wake up, really didn’t. Perhaps if she kept her eyes closed, whoever it was annoying her would give up and go away.

“Get up, Rosie girl,” a deep, masculine voice drawled. “It’s morning and we got to get on the road.”

Rosie girl? What the hell?

And then she remembered.

West. The night before. His hands on her, his cock inside her, his mouth on hers. Doing everything she’d ever fantasized about and plenty more she’d been too inexperienced to even think of.

Cracking open an eye, she nearly flinched at the bright light streaming in the window. Okay, so he was right. It was morning. But did that really mean they had to get up? She could do with another couple of hours of sleep at least, especially since she felt like she hadn’t had much. At least she was pretty sure she hadn’t, not when West had been keeping her awake with his insatiable demands.

A shiver crept over her at the memory, and she was suddenly conscious of unfamiliar aches in intimate places. Very pleasant aches.

She gave a sigh and turned onto her back, blinking at the man standing at the foot of the bed. He was fully dressed, in a dark blue T-shirt this time and faded blue denim, which was a pity since she would have preferred him wearing nothing at all.

He had his arms crossed, his clear gray gaze firmly on her face. “C’mon, sleeping beauty. Time to go.”

She put her hands behind her head, pretty damn satisfied with the way his attention began to move down over her naked body. “Are you sure?” She raised an eyebrow. “We could stay a little while longer if you like. I could help…wash your back or something.”

A muscle in his jaw leapt, which was also extremely satisfying. But all he said was, “Get dressed. If you’re down at the car in five minutes, we’ll get waffles.”

Oh, well. She did like waffles.

She sighed. “I guess I’ll see you in five minutes then.”

West gave a short nod, then much to her surprise, he turned toward the door.

“Hey,” she said, sitting up. “Are you packed and ready to go already?”

“Yeah.” He didn’t look back, reaching for the door and pulling it open. “Don’t be too long.” Then he stepped through the doorway, shutting the door firmly behind him.

Rose frowned. So, she didn’t know what the right etiquette was the morning after, especially since he was the only man she’d ever actually spent the night with, but she was pretty sure it didn’t involve pulling the covers off your partner, telling them to get dressed, then leaving the room before they’d even had a chance to give you a good-morning kiss.

A sliver of hurt slid under her skin.
