The alarm clock went off at seven thirty instead of five thirty, but Amos still couldn’t figure out what was going on. It was Saturday. There was no work schedule. Why in the world did she have the alarm set? “Daesha? Why’s the clock going off?”

She groaned loudly. “Because the animals have to be fed.”

With a sigh, he leaned over, kissed her, and got up. “You stay here. I’ll take care of them.”

“No! They’re my responsibility! I can―”

“No.” Amos shook his head. “You stay in bed. I’ll take care of them and then go for my run. After I get my shower, I’ll wake you. Got it? Get some rest.” After he’d pulled his shorts and tee on, he leaned over and kissed her before grabbing his socks and shoes and heading to the living room.

Azalea and Felix were having a stare-down when he got outside. Apparently they thought they’d have to fight over food, and Amos wondered what kind of hell the poor things had lived in before they’d come to be in Daesha’s loving care. They most likely weren’t fed properly, and they were still very zealous in guarding what they considered theirs. To ward off an incident, he pulled two flakes of hay and gave each of them one. That seemed to satisfy them, and he brought Ivory into her stall to eat. He’d turn her back out after he’d had his run.

Running into Matt wasn’t a problem. Nobody was stirring in the neighborhood. Matt’s cruiser wasn’t there, so that meant he was working. As he ran, Amos thought about the night before. God, Daesha had been incredible, and he could honestly say that even with all the trophy girls he’d dated, he’d never been prouder to be seen with a woman than he had with her the previous night. Every guy in the bar wanted to be him, and the thought made him smile.

He turned Ivory out and as soon as he ran through the back door, he set the coffee maker to brew and headed straight to the shower. Fifteen minutes later, he stepped into the bedroom in nothing but the towel wrapped around his waist. “Hey, sleepyhead. It’s eight thirty. Wanna get up? Or wanna sleep a little longer?”

She opened one eye. “I need to pee.”

“Well, okay then. Have at it.”

She gave him a sly smile. “And I want you to stay right there.”

Oh, god, he hoped he knew how she was going to answer his question. “Shall I get dressed?”

She stopped in the bathroom doorway and winked. “I don’t want you in anything more than what you’re wearing right now.”

YES! Amos’s brain shrieked. He sat down on the bed, then reclined and got comfortable, hands clasped behind his head. He could hear her doing her thing, then the sound of her brushing her teeth. When she wandered back into the bedroom, he unclasped his hands and reached for her, but she shook her head. “No-no-no. Put your hands right back where they were.”

He almost groaned.
