HOLLIS WOKE UP with her in his bed, and she was still naked from the waist down, and their legs were entwined. They hadn’t talked about her staying. They’d just fallen asleep in the aftermath of one of her orgasms.

But things were different now.

He wasn’t going to be able to fight this, and he should stop trying. Sure, it was terrifying. Sure, it was going to end badly. Sure there was no path forward that made any rational sense.

But he couldn’t let her go.

He couldn’t get enough of her.

And she was different.

She stirred next to him, and he felt as if some internal part of him squeezed when he looked at her. She was so pretty and small and perfect. He wanted to protect her. He wanted to hold onto her. He wanted to fall in love with her.

Maybe he already had.

Her eyes fluttered open. “Morning,” she yawned.

“You’re beautiful,” he told her.

She reached up and stroked his skull. “So are you.”

He was touching her, so he could feel what she felt. She really thought that. This thing with them, it was going both ways. It was a tie now, one getting stronger and stronger with each moment they spend together.

She thinks I’m beautiful, he thought wonderingly. How could that even be?

“I want to take you to breakfast,” he said.

She stretched, arms over her head, yawning. “Okay.”

“Let me make a couple calls,” he said, nuzzling her before he tossed aside the covers to get out of bed.

“Okay,” she said, shutting her eyes and burrowing back into the pillows.

He wanted to do something insane for her. He wanted to show off, preen for her like a bird doing a mating dance. He wanted her to be awed and wowed and overtaken. He wanted her to compare every other man in the world to him and find them all wanting.

Yup, definitely already fell in love. Fuck.

He ducked out of the room to make the calls. When he came back into the bedroom, she was scrolling on her phone in the bed.

“Get dressed,” he said. “Breakfast awaits.”

She eyed him. “Those calls were about breakfast?”

“Mmm,” he said. “Come on.”

“Do I need to worry about how I look?” She ran a rueful hand through her hair.

“You look beautiful,” he said.

She giggled. “I think you might be biased already in thinking that.”

“Nope,” he said. “Get dressed. I’ll take you down to the garage.”

In the garage, she made a choking noise. “How many cars do you have?”

He looked at the four that were in there. “Well, these are just the ones I keep at this house.”

Her eyes widened. “So, how many houses do you have?”

“Maybe fifteen,” he said. “I kind of lose track. Sometimes I sell some here or there, just depending.”

“Fifteen,” she mouthed, no voice.

He steered her over to the Audi. “Here, get in.”

She got in and ran appreciative fingers over the interior of the car.

He started it up and pulled out of the garage. “It’s going to be a little bit of a hike, but it’ll be worth it.
