CHAPTER NINETEEN

Carter

IT WAS WELL after noon by the time I woke up. Lucky for me, it was to the smell of fresh bacon. I hopped in the shower but didn’t take time to shave. I don’t know when or how the hell Presley had crawled under my skin so fast, but she was like a fucking drug. I just wanted more of her.

I made my way to the kitchen and nearly came at the sight of her standing at my stove in a pair of the skimpy, black shorts women sometimes worked out in. She had a workout bra on under a loose tank top, the sides dipping low and revealing a large portion of her soft skin. It gave me all kinds of naughty ideas.

“Morning,” she said with an easy smile before turning back to the stove. “Hope you don’t mind, but I was starving after last night, so I helped myself to your kitchen. Hope you’re hungry.”

I peered over her shoulder at the French toast she was flipping. It smelled like cinnamon and heaven—in other words, like Presley. “Damn those look good.”

I moved her hair over her shoulder and kissed the bare spot near her clavicle. I wasn’t used to such sentimental gestures, but it had somehow become one of my favorite things to do. “Did you sleep okay?”

“I did, actually. Slept like a baby. Well, you know. After the last time we . . .”

“Fucked?” I said suggestively. Clearly, I couldn’t get it off my mind.

“Yeah, that.”

I was grateful to see that Presley was a coffee girl, too, and poured myself a large mug from the Keurig. “Mmm,” I said, closing my eyes. “Good choice on the coffee. Man, do I need this today.”

“Same,” she chuckled. “I actually have a lot of work I have to do, unfortunately. So, after brunch, I’ve gotta head out.”

Well, shoot. I’d been hoping to have another lazy day of making love to her. There were still so many positions we hadn’t tried out. And Presley was . . . insatiable. I freaking loved it. The more we tried, the more she wanted. She was completely at ease with anything and everything we’d done so far. She was every man’s wet dream, if I was being honest with myself. How I had ever been attracted to Lauren all these years was beyond me. She had nothing on Presley. And that felt damn good to say.

It was more than the sex though—and it was everything else that scared me. She was smart as fuck. Educated and thoughtful. Curious. Presley was interested in my answers, too. She had a smart mouth and made me laugh more times than I could count. The best part was she gave it just as easily as she took it.

I was doomed.

“So, what are you working on?” I asked as she handed me my plate. We went and ate at the smaller breakfast table by the windows.

“Well,” she said hesitantly, “it’s something I actually need to talk to you about.
