Mathias knew the moment Cecilia awoke, and he was glad of it, for he’d been watching her sleep for the better part of an hour. She resembled an angel in the anemic light of the early morning, and when she stretched with languid relish, his heart squeezed. The mass of blonde curls resembled a pile of spilled pirate gold as he held her, kept her backside tucked against his front, even though his shaft was engorged and ready.

“Good morning, Lia,” he whispered against the adorable shell of her ear. The lingering scent of her perfume tickled his nose, and damn if he didn’t want a pastry, as sweet as she. “If you’re wondering, it’s just after dawn.”

“Mathias.” Surprise and elation blended in her dulcet tones. A blush swept over her cheeks. He’d give anything to know what she was thinking. “Good morning.” Her head fit so well in the crook of his left arm.

His right hand rested casually on the enticing curve of her hip. Oh, she was a tempting armful indeed, and the desire that had flared last night while she’d been on his lap had only continued building throughout the night. “It’s been a few years since I woke up with a beautiful woman in my bed.”

She looked over her shoulder, her hair a veritable rat’s nest of curls, mischief and exasperation sparkling in her mossy eyes, and she smiled. The innocence in that gesture stole his breath. “This is hardly a bed.”

Haggis uttered a good morning bark from somewhere at her feet.

“True, but the sentiment stands.” Unable to help himself, he smoothed his hand up her side, tracing each of her ribs as he went. “I want to kiss you.” Hell, he wanted to do a fat lot more than that, but he’d start with a kiss.

“The last time I checked, there was nothing stopping you, for you did it often enough last night.” How bold she’d grown since meeting him... and he was well and truly captivated by her. “And, quite frankly, you never need to—”

He silenced her explanation by pressing his lips to hers in an exquisite long and drugging kiss designed to show her without words how confused he was by her and how much he desired her. Except, he was the one who ended up lost in that embrace...

...and he couldn’t have enough.

When he let her up for air, Cecilia shivered. She lifted a hand to cup his face and nodded her permission. He kissed her, again and again, exploring her mouth, her lips, and damn if she didn’t taste as good as she smelled. Never would he have enough of those plush lips that sent his world skidding into a tilt when she smiled. What would it feel like to bury himself deep into her honeyed heat and hear the sounds of pleasure she made while he thrust?

His length hardened further. It pressed urgently against the front of his trousers. She shifted, rolled onto her back, and he grunted his thanks for now he could better explore her lips.
