Chapter Eight

B-R-R-R-I-N-G, r-r-r-i-n-g, b-r-r-r-i-n-g!

The musical chant of a ringing cell phone jolted them both out of a deep sleep early the next morning. Cooper fumbled for it blindly on the nightstand, turning it off, sliding it back in place clearly anxious to return to a well-deserved rest after their sleep deficit night.

‘Cooper?’ Afton’s voice was drowsy, her chin resting on the back of her hand atop his broad chest. ‘Shouldn’t you have answered that – what if it was your job?’

‘It was my mother,’ he yawned widely, turning over on to his side grumpily burrowing his face into the pillow like a small boy not wanting to get up for school in the morning.

Afton’s head rose at his words staring down at the sleekly muscled back where she blushed to see her nails had scored marks in several telltale places, ‘how do you know it was your mother? You didn’t even look at the phone!’

‘She always calls me at the exact time I was born on my birthday to remind to come over for my annual birthday dinner,’ he grumbled in a pillow-muffled voice.

‘You mean today is your birthday?’ Afton squealed sitting up taking the sheet with her as Cooper groaned a protest.

‘Yes,’ he admitted rolling onto his back and blinking up at her in the light she switched on, on the nightstand, ‘but I never make a big deal out of it. It’s just one more rotation of the earth around the sun for me.’

‘But you said you were coming over here after work tonight.’

‘I am.’

He stifled another yawn while Afton found herself wondering silently why Cooper hadn’t told her it was his birthday – or invited her to go along with him to his parents.

Am I just a secret obsession of his?

Something to keep hidden behind closed bedroom doors? She’d never met his family once in all these weeks since they’d first met – perhaps it was because he knew she was not fated to be in his life long? Her teeth nibbled suddenly anxious at the slightly swollen fullness of the bottom lip his lips had covered for most of the night.

‘What’s wrong, Afton?’

Afton looked over to where Cooper’s head was now propped on one hand on the pillow. Watching her through slumberous turquoise eyes, the rugged black stubble on his square chin only adding to his dazzling morning-after attractiveness.

‘It’s just…I know so little about you, Cooper –’

‘You know everything important about me,’ he countered taking her hand splaying it over his heavily pounding heart. ‘You know how to make this go crazy with just one look.’ He moved her hand lower to encircle the burgeoning velvety steel length of him, ‘and this as well,’ he added huskily.

Afton began to caress him and Cooper moaned his enjoyment moving restlessly beneath her soft sure touch, soot black lashes lowering against lean cheeks darkly flushing with a sensuous anticipation. Distracted with her thoughts, she bent over and dropped a light kiss on his lips, releasing him as he sighed out his bitter disappointment.
