CHAPTER FOURTEEN

MOLLY

The sound of a drill wakes me. It’s not unusual for the contractors to show up on the weekends, but I definitely don’t need one of them walking in on Hunter and me naked in bed. Not only would I never live it down, but they’d also get an eyeful of me none of them need or deserve.

When I make it back to the bedroom, Hunter is still asleep. It’s the sleep of the exhausted. His limbs are sprawled out across the bed, and his hands are tucked up underneath his pillow. The best part, he’s still super naked.

I crawl under the covers and spoon him from behind, my body laying across his back to hug him. His only response is to shift his legs out of my way so more of my body can touch his.

Since it’s not the answer I wanted, I lean up and nibble on his earlobe. “Are you awake? We only had sex once last night, I couldn’t have worn you out.”

“Why do you have clothes on? You should take them off and get back in bed with me,” he grumbles, his voice low and sleep-laden.

I kiss the curve of his solid shoulder. “Well, I had to make sure the contractors didn’t bust in on us. I sent them home . . . for the weekend.”

It’s a little presumptive to think he might stay the entire time, and I’m relieved he doesn’t contradict me after a few moments of silence. “How about some breakfast?”

“Only if you’re my breakfast.”

I roll my eyes and snuggle tighter against him. “Nice try, but I’m dying for some French toast. I could teach you how to make it, and you could surprise Hadley when she comes home.”

This time he tilts his head over his shoulder so he can meet my eyes. “I’m way too naked to be talking about my daughter right now.”

That’s fair. “Well, I’m going to make breakfast. You can come down and join me, or you can stay up here and sleep. But once you start smelling my grandma’s French toast, you’re going to want some, and I don’t do delivery.”

Before he can tempt me to stay, I hop out of bed and head down to the kitchen. Thankfully, I have all the ingredients I need to cook. After only a few minutes of separation, he wanders into the kitchen, shirtless and wearing only his boxer briefs. Oh man, this could get distracting.

He makes a beeline straight for the coffee pot and gets it started. Once he finishes that, he opens the upper cabinet and pulls down two mugs.

Somehow, it’s both strange and exciting to see him all morning fresh in my kitchen. Especially with the memory of last night flashing in and out of my mind.

I sit a skillet on the burner and start it warming, then I give him an assessing look. “Are you super hungry and want lots of French toast, or only a couple of slices?”

While I focus on the eggs next, he comes up behind me and runs his lips down my neck.
