Clarissa rubbed her eyes, then opened them. She yawned, glancing around the bedroom.

She expected to find Beck’s large frame next to her, but she was alone in bed. The alarm clock on the nightstand read ten o’clock. Did he change his mind about the whole thing and just leave? Her heart sank.

She’d waited for his return until after midnight. She’d called him a couple of times, but he hadn’t picked it up or texted. He left me. She wouldn’t know what it was like to have sex with him—they’d come so close. She should have mentioned she was on a birth control pill to help fix her period instabilities. Beck was a worldly guy, and probably felt safer if he was in charge of birth control. Perhaps he wouldn’t even believe she was on it, too—especially after her goading him into the marriage.

“Morning,” he said in a deep, sexy voice.

She turned her head to face him carrying a breakfast tray, filled with pastries, juices and more. Fully clothed and with his hair wet. Her heart did an impossible flip in her chest.

Don’t get any ideas. This marriage is just a practicality. Though there was nothing practical about how her body reacted to him. Now she understood what he meant about sex making things more complicated… yet it was too late to go back.

“When did you come back?” she asked.

“After one. I’m sorry. I ran into your father in the lobby and he summoned me for drinks. He talked a lot, and I couldn’t just ditch him.”

“Okay. Hmmm…” she glanced down at the tray. “Bacon. This is an obvious sign the rest of my day will be amazing.”

He lifted a piece of bacon and she opened her lips. Soon, the crunchy meat slid into her mouth, and she tasted the warm, salty flavor. When she finished, she licked her upper lip, and realized he’d been watching her, his gaze darting between her lips and eyes.

“What?”

“I never considered eating pork an erotic experience… until now,” he said, looking at her like she was the main mean of a starved man.

A wave of heat spread across her face and neck. She reached for the glass of water took a sip, desperate to cool her ardor. “And here I thought a guy like you had seen it all.”

“So did I,” he said softly, then blinked and stood up. “So. I was supposed to drop you off two nights ago, and go back to my place. Now, I need to go back and you should come with me. Since we’re married.”

“Thank you,” she said.

He nodded. “I’ll let you finish eating and gather your stuff.”
