Chapter Seven

“Unless something’s changed, I’m going to have to ask that you unhand me.”

Galen’s sleep-roughened voice poured over her like honey, and her eyes drifted opened. His handsome face, made even more so by the morning whiskers shadowing his jaw, came into focus. “What do you mean?”

He flipped his heavy-lidded gaze downward, and she followed suit.

“Omigod. I am so sorry!” She jerked her hand away and covered her mouth in mortification. For the second morning in a row, one of her appendages had wound up in up-close-and-personal contact with his manly parts.

“Hey, no harm no foul. I’m not usually one to complain about waking up to a morning cock massage, but I didn’t want to reach the boiling point only to find out you were actually dead asleep and dreaming about milking a cow.”

She closed her eyes and ducked her head under the covers, wishing she could disappear. “How did we end up in the same bed again?” She remembered falling asleep on the couch, but after that, it was all a pleasant blur.

“Cut it out.” His muffled voice became clear as he yanked the blanket off her head. “I can’t even hear you like that.”

She picked a spot on the wall and stared at it, hard. “I asked how we got in the same bed again.”

“I put you in and you didn’t want to be alone.” He shrugged. “Far be it from me to argue with a pretty lady. And frankly, until about ten seconds ago, I was thinking it was a great decision out of me.”

Despite the teasing words, she could feel the sexual tension rolling off him. It took all her strength not to bolt before she jumped his bones and finished what she’d unwittingly started. God, he’d felt good in her hand. Big. Hard. Ready for—

A ring blared from Galen’s cell phone on the bedside table, mercifully derailing her thoughts. She felt the heat of his gaze on her as he reached to answer it, and she knew their discussion was far from over.

“Hello.” He paused and then covered the receiver with his hand. “It’s your lawyer.”

She was seriously going to have to think about picking up a new cell. While she didn’t relish the idea of talking to her mother anytime soon, it was irresponsible to be out of contact like this, and the guilt was weighing on her. She took the phone. “Hello?”

“Hey, Lacey. I have some news.”

“Okay, let me just…” She gave Galen an apologetic smile along with a finger wiggle and climbed out of the bed, making sure to suck in her belly in case he was looking. She crossed the room in search of some privacy. It was impossible to think straight with him staring at her with that better to eat you with smile, and something about Allen’s tone told her that whatever news he had was worth paying attention to.

She went into the hallway bathroom and closed the door behind her. “Okay, what’s up?”

“You’re going to love me for this.
