Chapter 26

Sugar

There was a noise and Sugar couldn’t figure out what it was and she was hitting, slapping, thumping to make it go away, and then she was drifting in a sea of warmth and happiness, snuggled up against this hard, long, warm thing…

“Sugar…” Someone was whispering, shaking her shoulder, and she burrowed down further under the covers. It was so perfect, right where she was at. She never wanted to move. She could stay here forever.

They were asking her something and she couldn’t understand the words. “The heat is in the covers,” she explained. There, now they’d leave her alone.

Except, they were shaking her again. “Sugar, you gotta wake up.” This time, she realized it was Jaxson’s voice. Why was Jaxson talking to her?

Hold on, why was Jaxson in her bed?

She shot straight up, clutching the sheets to her as she looked around the room, completely disoriented. “Where…what…?” She shoved her hair behind her ear and looked over at Jaxson. “Where are we?” she asked.

He used the pad of his thumb to wipe some dried drool off her cheek. “My apartment. You spent the night.” He handed her phone over – he must’ve retrieved it from her jacket after it started going off – and she groggily took it from him.

She looked around again, things slowly starting to come back to her. “Oh. Right. We came back here after our walk…” She trailed off as she remembered everything that had happened the night before, a blush climbing in her cheeks.

He sent her a lascivious grin, obviously remembering too. “Your alarm went off, and you told me last night to tell you this morning that if you ignored it, that you’d have to do the walk of shame to work, wearing the same clothes as yesterday, and to not let this-morning’s-Sugar get away with that.”

She sank back into the mattress, stretching and smiling drowsily. “That sounds like me,” she mumbled, her face sinking back into the pillow. Jaxson had the best pillows. She needed to ask him where he got them from. In just a minute, she would. She just needed to close her eyes for a moment longer…

Then a whoosh of cool air flowed over her as Jaxson threw the covers back, exposing her naked body to the brisk morning air. “Aack!” she yelped, jackknifing upright in bed again.

He grinned at her unrepentantly. “I’m just following orders, ma’am,” he drawled. “Your orders.”

Her eyes drifted closed again as she stuck her tongue out at him. She felt for the edge of the bed, deciding that she could edge towards it with her eyes closed safely enough when suddenly, she was hitting the floor with a crash, her eyes popping open with surprise. His face appeared above hers, peering down at her worriedly. “You okay?” he asked.

She rubbed her elbow where she’d smashed it on the floor. She really ought to start trying to get out of bed in a way that didn’t involve a face-plant. She reached over and grabbed a couple of scattered pieces of clothing so she could start pulling them on.
