Amy

I smell bacon.

I open my eyes and confirm, much to my thrill, I’m lying naked in Colin’s bed, rather than in my pajamas in his guest room across the hall. Which means the best night of my life wasn’t a dream! It happened! I’m really here!

Giggling to myself, I roll out of bed, throw on a pair of undies and a T-shirt from Colin’s drawer, and pad happily into Colin’s kitchen, lured by the scents and sounds of breakfast cooking.

And there he is. Colin Beretta. The hunky sex god who rocked my world last night and made all my fantasies come true. Colin is dressed in nothing but gray sweatpants, lean muscles, and ink this morning, while standing at his stovetop, stirring something in a pan. And the sight of him sends a whole new round of fireflies coursing through me.

“Good morning,” I say, entering the kitchen.

“Good morning,” Colin replies. “I hope you’re hungry.”

“I’m starving. Last night was a workout.” I peek over his tattooed forearm at the food he’s preparing. “That looks yummy. I didn’t know you can cook.”

“I’m a Beretta.” He tells me about the meal he’s preparing—a pesto-veggie frittata—and offers to make me a coffee on his fancy machine.

“That’s a coffee maker?” I say, as Colin gets to work on my requested drink. “It looks like a robot.”

“It’s top of the line, from Italy,” he says. “A total indulgence on my part. But, hey, I never know what to do with my money. I’ve got the house of my dreams. Three cars. I’ve paid off my mom’s mortgage and bought her a car. I’ve also bought both my sisters cars—which is all they’ll accept from me. So, why not buy stupid stuff like the world’s most ridiculous coffee maker for myself and everyone I love for Christmas?” He hands me my drink and, not surprisingly, it’s incredible. Which is what I tell him.

“It’s as good as any cappuccino you can get in Italy,” he says proudly.

“It sure is.”

“You went through there during the tour?”

I nod. “Rome. My time in Italy was way too brief. I’d love to go back one day.” I lean my hip against the kitchen counter. “Can I help you?”

“Nope. Just relax.”

“I can do that.” I take a sip of my cappuccino and let my mind wander.

“What are you thinking?” he asks after a moment.

“Huh?”

“You’re scowling.”

“I am?”

“Like this.” He pulls a face.

“Oh. I didn’t realize that.”

“What were you thinking?”

“Nothing much.”

Colin stops what he’s doing and stares me down. “Okay, let’s set some ground rules for this week. You’re gonna have to speak your mind around me, Amy. If you’re worried about saying or doing the wrong thing all the time, that’s going to get in the way of me being able to deliver everything you’ve asked for this week. Sex doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It’s best when two people are super comfortable with each other, across the board. Not just in bed. It’s best when there’s trust.”

“I trust you.”

“Okay, great. I trust you, too.
