CHAPTER SIX

I awoke the next morning, wrapped in Jace; I couldn’t think of a better way to start the morning than seeing his face, hearing the soft snore coming from his sleeping body, our naked bodies still entwined. I needed to stretch, but I fought the urge. I wanted to spend a little more time watching him sleep, tracing the lines of his tattoos with my fingers.

“What are you doing?” he groaned out, voice gravelly with sleep.

“Watching you.”

“Kinda creepy, don’t you think?” he asked, opening one eye to look at me, a small smile pulling at his sexy mouth.

I laughed. “Not creepy at all.” Smiling, I placed a gentle kiss on his lips and then snuggled into him.

“What do you want to do today?” he asked, pulling me tighter against him.

“Mmmm . . . . I can think of a few things.”

“Like?”

Stretching so that my arms went around his head and then propping my elbow so I could lift my head and look at him, I smiled. “Staying in bed all day.”

“Sounds like a plan,” he said, kissing the tip of my nose. “But first, we need food.”

“Work up an appetite last night?”

“Definitely.” He thrust his hips so that his morning erection pushed into my stomach as he nuzzled into my neck. “And I’d like to do it again. And again. And again.”

“That’s a lot of sex,” I said with a giggle.

He took a bite out of the tender flesh between my shoulder and neck. “We have a lot of lost time to make up for,” he said, grabbing my ass and pulling me even harder against him.

I hated that it was bothering me right then and there, but I couldn’t help the pang of guilt, the knowledge that I’d been the reason that we’d lost all that time, that I’d abandoned him when he’d probably needed me most. “I’m sorry,” I whispered, resting my head on his face, the ache in my chest growing by the second.

“Hey,” he said, pulling back to look at me and cupping my face in his hand. “Not allowed. No guilt. You made an honest mistake. So did I.”

Face scrunched, I blinked a couple of times, confused as I tried to fight the tears of regret. “What do you mean?” I asked.

“I should have told you, called you, let you know what was going on before you ever stepped on your plane that day. That’s my fault. All that misunderstanding could have been eliminated if I’d just communicated with you,” he said, wiping the lone tear that had managed to break free. “I just felt like you had enough to deal with already and I didn’t want you to worry. So I’m sorry.”

Unable to accept his apology—still feeling completely at fault—I shook my head. “No, I did this to us, Jace.”

“Andrea, listen to me. We both did this, and we’ve both learned from it,” he said, wrapping his arms around my body. “From now on, we talk about everything, no matter what, okay?”

“Okay,” I said, softly, nodding.
