CHAPTER TEN

Jake woke the next morning to a hand sliding up his chest. He cracked his eyes open as Ella draped a leg over his thigh and snuggled her head into his shoulder. Her hair brushed his chin and he shut his eyes again. He’d only been asleep for a few hours and the post-coital buzz had set firmly in his marrow, leadening his bones and eyelids.

A smile touched his lips as his mind drifted back to their brisk walk from the pub to her place as the first blush of dawn streaked the sky. They’d slipped into the darkened house like teenagers late home for curfew and hit her mattress, Ella’s hand over his mouth, smothering his laughter, finally kissing him to shut him up. And then passion reigniting, racing to shed their clothes and do it all over again.

And then again. Before finally falling asleep from sheer exhaustion. Ella Lucas was insatiable. To prove his point her hand drifted south and his smile grew wider.

Very insatiable.

“You asleep?” Ella murmured as her hand stroked over his flat belly.

He grinned. “Not anymore.”

She trailed her finger across the soft vulnerable strip where his belly met groin and he moaned appreciatively, eager for her to stay and play a little longer.

“Mmmm,” Jake sighed, his dick currently wide awake.

Even the brief, loud knock wasn’t enough to kill its interest despite Ella withdrawing her hand like a child who’d been caught with her hand in the cookie jar.

His cookie jar.

“Ella, are you awake?” Rosie whispered loudly into the gloom as she approached the bed. “I’ve been worried about you.”

Jake chuckled and Ella dug him in the ribs as she raised herself up on her elbows. “I’m fine.”

Rosie’s face registered her surprise at the masculine chuckle. “Jake? Is that you?”

Jake lifted his head off the pillow and gave her a brief salute before flopping back again. “Morning, Miss Rosie.”

Rosie grinned at him and raised an eyebrow at her best friend. “Well, well, well.”

Ella blushed and held the sheet firmly under her arms. “It’s not —”

“What it looks like?” Rosie interrupted, still grinning. “I see you took good care of her then, Jake.”

“Yes, ma’am. I’m a man of my word.”

“I didn’t mean seduce her.”

Jake smiled. “What makes you think I seduced her?”

Rosie snorted. “Almost twenty years of friendship. Ella thinks too much.”

Jake laughed, remembering the moment she almost backed out. “That she does.”

“Hey, smart asses, I’m right here,” Ella grouched.

“I’m making bacon and eggs,” Rosie said. “You must both be famished?”

Jake was starving. But now Mr. Woody was involved, food was low down on his list of priorities. “No.”

“I do some mean mushrooms.”

“No.”

“And grilled tomatoes to die for.”

Jake laughed. “Go away, Rosie. Ella needs some more TLC.”
