CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Zane

My eyes opened, and before my brain even registered what time of day it was, I knew I was right where I should be. Becca lay beside me still asleep, her long brown hair hiding part of her beautiful face as she snored quietly. I watched her, amazed at how sweet she looked there all curled up on my shoulder. Ordinarily, I wouldn’t have thought that snoring could be cute, but somehow, she made it almost adorable.

I slid my arm to wrap it around her, trying not to wake her, but her eyes fluttered open and she looked at me. Smiling, I tucked her hair behind her ear so I could see her entire face.

“Good morning. I’m sorry I woke you. I didn’t mean to. I was just watching you sleep. And snore. You’re really cute when you snore, you know that?”

Her dark eyebrows drew in, and she frowned. “Morning,” she said groggily.

Not exactly the kind of reception I’d hoped for or expected, but maybe she wasn’t a morning person. Hell, before I came back here, I wasn’t a morning person either, but being awakened every day by one calamity or another had made me one in the past few months.

I draped my arm over her and began to rub my face into the nape of her neck, but she shied away immediately. Confused, I wondered if my snoring comment had bothered her. Based on the noises she’d been making all night and the way her body had reacted, I thought there would be some kind of happiness from her in the morning.

Or at least a little sweetness.

Instead, she acted downright chilly as she shrugged me off and hurried into the bathroom, emerging fully clothed in less than a minute. Basically shooing me away, she said, “I have to leave to go back to the city, but I’ll be back up this weekend to talk about what I have planned for the advertising campaign.”

I sat up in bed, stunned by her words. Had I done something wrong? The last I recalled, we’d spent a fantastic night fucking one another’s brains out, and now she was acting like I was some high school boyfriend and her parents were coming through the door at any second.

“Sure, Becca. No problem,” I said as I nodded in amazement that we wouldn’t be having another round this morning and watched her buzz around the room, packing up like the place was on fire.

I stood from the bed and stretched before I gathered up my clothes from the previous night. I didn’t exactly rush as I dressed, in no hurry for our first night together to end so abruptly. I stepped into my pants, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw Becca glaring at me as if I was keeping her from something more important.

“So you have to head back even before breakfast?” I asked while I slipped my shirt over my shoulders.

She barely answered, giving me a curt “Uh huh” as she watched me slowly button up my shirt.
