CHAPTER EIGHT

“Love.” I heard Jacob’s voice calling out my name in my dream. “Love, wake up, sweetheart.”

Wake up?

My body shook slightly. A warm hand was on my arm.

“Wake up, sweetheart. You fell asleep,” Jacob whispered.

Realization hit me and I startled from my sleep. I gasped for air.

“It’s okay. It’s okay,” Jacob said from where he knelt in front of my chair. “It’s just me. I didn’t mean to startle you.”

“It’s… it’s okay.” My breath was ragged; more like a pant. “How… How long was I asleep?”

“About thirty minutes or so.”

I grumbled at his reply. How embarrassing. I hoped and prayed that I wasn’t snoring. With my body being so sore and exhausted there was no doubt I did. The only thing to do now was to barge past him, out the door, and never look back.

“Relax, Love,” he whispered then helped me stand. His warm arms wrapped around my waist. “Why don’t we head out so you can get some sleep?”

“I’m so sorry,” I whispered looking up at him. He kissed me gently then smiled.

“Don’t apologize for being tired.”

How can a man be so perfect? Jacob was the ideal package. The man who every woman dreamed of finding. I hadn’t been searching for the perfect man but somehow, I fell into his life… literally.

“What are you thinking about?” His words were soft but filled with amusement.

“Why are you single?” The question was meant to be said silently in my head not blurted out to him. Especially not face-to-face. A text maybe. Face-to-face? No way in hell.

“Why am I single?” He smiled.

“No!” I shook my head. “Don’t answer that!”

“Don’t want to know the answer or afraid to hear the answer?”

I leaned my forehead against his chest. A soft groan left me. Jacob rubbed my back and kissed the top of my head.

“You always try to hide from me,” he whispered. “I hope over time you can trust me and talk to me about anything, Love.”

It was like in the historical romances where the woman swoons. His words made my knees grow weak. I sucked in a sharp breath as my mind digested his words. Trust was such a big word. However, it was a word I hoped to one day put with his name. He was someone who I hoped I could trust whole-heartedly one day.

“I hope so, too, Jacob,” I whispered.

“I love the way you say my name.” Maybe it was the sleepiness or maybe I was hearing things, but his voice sounded husky. A deep husky. A tone which made panties drop.

“Jacob.” His name lingered on my tongue.

My sultry voice was pulling me down a dangerous path. A path I wanted to lead to his and my clothes scattered throughout his office.

“Love,” he whispered bending down and pressing his lips against mine.

My lips parted welcoming him to deepen our kiss. He gladly accepted the invitation. He tasted of coffee and peppermint. Just like he had at my house. It was a combination that would forever be imprinted into my mind.
