CHAPTER 17

Hannah surfaced from sleep to the tantalizing aroma of coffee. She rolled onto her back, enjoying that blissful moment when her mind was clear—no clutter or baggage. Then someone cleared his throat and her eyes flew open.

Harrison.

He was standing by the bed, coffee cup in hand, dressed in jeans and a black T-shirt. With his tousled hair and multicolored eyes, he looked even more appealing than the caffeine he was holding.

In the light of day, she wasn’t as certain that telling him had been the right thing. She’d held on to her secret for so long it felt strange to know that someone else knew. Especially when that person was Harrison. Still, it was done. And she wasn’t one to spend time on regrets.

They’d made no promises last night. And she wasn’t going to ask for them now. She’d just have to live in the moment. Which was easier said than done, but if it meant more time with Harrison, then it was worth the effort. She’d meant what she’d said. She was in it for the ride, no matter where it wound up taking them. She sighed, stretching as he sat down beside her, putting the cup on the bedside table.

“Morning, sunshine,” he said, with a crooked smile, bending to drop a kiss on the end of her nose. “I thought you could use a shot of coffee. I just went with what was in the cabinet. I hope that’s okay.”

“It’s fine,” she said, pushing her hair out of her face as she sat up, pulling the sheet with her. “You been up long?”

“About four hours,” he offered, his eyes dropping to her breasts. Desire blossomed, and their gazes locked, her breath catching as she let herself get lost in his eyes. “And as much as I regret saying it, there’s not time for anything more than coffee.”

Disappointment mingled with shock as she shot a look at the clock. “Oh, my God, it’s almost noon. Why did you let me sleep when there’s work to be done?”

“I figured you needed it,” he said, reaching out to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. “You went through some pretty heavy stuff last night.”

She nodded, reaching for her glasses, not ready to talk about it again. “As I recall,” she said, moving on to a better memory, “there were good bits, too.”

“Just bits?” he probed, waggling his eyebrows. “I seem to remember hours and hours of—”

She hit him with a pillow, and he flipped her underneath him, his body hard against hers. He stared down at her for a moment, then dipped his head, slanting his mouth over hers, his kiss hard and possessive, but then he pushed away.

“Avery and the guys are on their way over here,” he said, his expression regretful.

“Now?” she squeaked, grabbing the sheet as she jumped out of bed. “Why didn’t you say so?”

“I was a bit distracted.” He shrugged, his eyes tracing the lines of her body beneath the sheet.

“So why are they coming here?” she asked, sipping her coffee as she headed for the bathroom.
