Chapter Eleven

Jovy woke the next morning, body wonderfully sore, extremely satisfied—and deliciously tingling where a certain sexy, naked Texan pressed against her skin.

Mmm…Stone. The cowboy. The Ranger. The reason she was wonderfully sore and extremely satisfied.

A thrill shot through her. He was still here. She opened her eyes and focused on her alarm clock. It was barely midmorning. He hadn’t left after they used the last condom just before dawn. Some unknown emotion warmed her insides. She hadn’t asked him to stay or leave, kind of left that up to him. After all, they hadn’t really discussed what they were doing.

Not true, exactly. Stone seemed to take inordinate pleasure in whispering what he was going to do to her right before he carried it out with great care and precision. Desire stirred, then flamed low in her belly. How could she possibly still want more? The man satisfied all of her hunger. He had stamina, was beautifully packaged, and knew exactly what to do with that…package.

Without trying, Stone Mitchum set the bar quite high for other men.

But she wasn’t going to worry about other men or her life in Philadelphia. She was in Joyful right now with Stone and intended to enjoy whatever the man wanted to give. There would be no morning walk of shame. She had been very aware of what she was doing last night and was prepared to own up to her transgressions.

Starting now.

With a big stretch, she let out a long sigh and smiled when Stone’s hands immediately slid over her body, those wonderful calluses doing crazy things to her nerve endings.

“’Morning.” He nuzzled her ear. “Sleep well?”

She closed her eyes and enjoyed the feel of him. Everywhere. “Mmmm…yes, indeed. How about you?”

“Very well. Thanks to you.” He nipped her shoulder, sending shivers over skin. “I haven’t slept that solid in months. Hell…years.”

Her heart immediately squeezed. “Because of your friend, or the war?”

He stiffened and blew out a breath that ruffled her hair, but remained quiet. Jovy knew she should back off. After all, they were just friends who barely knew each other and weren’t likely to. She was leaving in a little less than four weeks. Keep it light and fun, her mind insisted. Yet she couldn’t let it go. That hollow look that came into his eyes whenever he stared at Leo haunted her. So did her conversation with Cord telling her Stone had put his personal life on hold to help out a friend.

“Have you really not dated in a long time?” she asked softly, running her fingers lightly up and down the muscled forearm he pressed against her belly. She could feel the tension coiled in him.

He swore under his breath. “Brick talks too much.”

“It wasn’t him,” she replied. “Your buddies are worried about you.”

She felt his nod against her head. “I know. They don’t need to be.”

“Sometimes talking about it helps,” she quietly urged.

The hand brushing from her hip to her belly stilled. “Sounds like you’re speaking from experience.”

Crap. She’d rather talk about him.
