Quinn

My phone rings and I sit up scrambling in the dark, looking for it in Jagger’s bedroom. Lucky for me, I’ve been awake in here more than asleep most of the night. After our fun by the pool, he carried me like a koala bear up to his room.

I’m sore and hate to admit that my vagina needs some tender lovin’ care today if I have any hope of surviving another night with Jagger.

Finally, I feel my purse on the chair in the corner of his room. The phone continues to ring, and I fumble trying to get it to stop before it wakes Jagger up.

“Hello?” I answer without looking at who called.

“Where is it?” my editor asks.

“How about a good morning first?”

“You’ll get a good morning when I get my chapters.”

“Wendy, they’re coming. I promise.”

“You said that last week. I can’t keep making excuses for you. They want to set a publication date for book two, but we can’t do that without the book.”

I blow out a breath, tiptoeing out of the room and quietly shutting the door behind me.

“It’s coming. I had a revelation last night. I just need some quiet time with my computer.”

She lets out an annoyed sigh through the receiver. “You have until Monday, but I want at least five chapters in my inbox.”

“They’ll be there.”

“You can do this, Quinn. I’m not sure how you can finish book one in record time and shoot me the best first draft I’ve ever read, and now with book two you’re crawling slower than a snail. If it’s your personal life—”

“No, it’s not. Just some mental blocks, but I’ll get it done.”

“Call me if you need me.” The line clicks and she’s gone.

Wendy’s never been one for small talk or excuses like I’ve been giving her the past couple months.

“Who was that?”

I jump and fling my hand up in the air, immediately seeing dark liquid rising from a cup and splatting on my bare toes.

“Fuck, that’s hot.” I dance around the hallway, putting one foot on top of the other to try to get the hot liquid off my skin.

“Coffee?” Jagger says and stares at me. He has a towel wrapped around his waist and he’s holding two coffee mugs in his hands.

I glance at the door. “I thought you were in there.”

He shakes his head. “No. I had a morning swim.”

Jagger nods at the bedroom and I lead the way. He turns on the lights and presses some button making the blinds open, and I find the early morning sky with only a few clouds.

I focus on the view until I see his reflection coming out of the bathroom holding a towel.

“Oh, I’ll get it.” I circle to move.

“No. It’s only a little bit. Is your foot okay? Do you want me to kiss it better?” He’s asking the questions from the hallway now and even though Wendy’s on my ass, nothing can top waking up in the arms of the man you’ve held in your heart for so long.
