Chapter Twenty-One

Juliet

Juliet woke to find herself in a tangle of sheets and a pool of sunshine streaming through the window. At some point during the night—or maybe it was late enough in the evening to be morning—she and Ian made it upstairs to her bed, although it took a while before they actually fell asleep. Stretching, she pulled herself into a sitting position and smiled at the view of the ocean.

This. She could definitely wake up like this every morning.

Her body limp from pleasure, aching with the memory of Ian inside her.

The sun rising over the water outside her window.

That was, until she noticed she was alone. Instead of waking up in a tangle of arms and legs, she’d woken as the sole occupant of her bed. Had he left?

Oh God! Was that a one-night stand?

See, said her head to her heart, I told you not to get involved with your landlord.

And then she heard the opening and closing of cabinet doors, the hiss of the coffee pot, and the ever-so-welcome scent of coffee wafting up the stairs. Stopping to slide on a pair of panties and a T-shirt, Juliet padded down to the kitchen.

“Morning,” she said, and Ian smiled, looking absolutely tasty in his dress pants and bare chest, his hair rumpled from sleep. At his feet, Lulu worked on the food he’d poured into her bowl.

“I was gonna surprise you with breakfast, but…” He gestured around the kitchen and all the open, empty cabinets. “You don’t have anything to make breakfast with.”

“That’s not totally true.” Julz bent and picked out her small egg pan from underneath the stove. “I have this.”

“I suppose that would work, if we wanted to eat at noon.” He took the pan from her and set it down, then pulled her into his arms, nuzzling her nose with his. “You should have to walk around like that all the time, just a T-shirt and miles of leg on display.” He kissed her, his hands sliding up her back, raising goose bumps at the contact. “I did make coffee,” he said, his lips brushing hers. “But you only have one mug.”

“Yeah, but it’s a damn good mug.”

“It is a fine mug.”

Juliet beamed. She loved that thing. She had no idea why. It was just a chunky cup she’d picked up from a street vendor, but it was one of the first things she’d ever bought herself. “It’d be too much to hope that you like your coffee with cream and sugar so we could share, right?”

“Cream and sugar? I’m sorry, I can’t be with someone who does that to her coffee.” Ian shook his head in disgust and leaned back against the counter, his abs flexing.

Juliet couldn’t stop herself from staring. “I suppose a pilot with the body of an Adonis and ability to totally tear apart a porch and put it back together again just takes his coffee strong and black.”

“Shows what you know. I like mine with cream.” He gave Juliet an ‘I told you so’ look as he pressed off the counter.
