CHAPTER 16

Denise

I wake to sunlight streaming between the curtains over my bedroom window. But rather than having a hangover to nurse, I find myself in bed with something much better.

Although he's backlit by the sun, I can still make out Brett's face half-buried in the pillow.

His salt-and-pepper hair glitters in the early morning rays and his long dark lashes lay still and peaceful below an unfurrowed brow.

Last night was incredible.

It has never, ever felt that good. I want nothing more than the luxury to do it again and again and again until the end of our days on this earth. I want nothing more than him.

Making love to him had released a flood from within me, a fear of intimacy I'd only partially realized I was grappling with since my marriage fell apart. Even now, flushing at the memories of our bodies entwined, I realize I haven't felt this happy in years.

After a few minutes spent gazing at him, I feel his long legs shift beneath the blanket as he begins to wake. His eyelashes flutter, and a moment later, he opens a pair of sleepy blue eyes to me.

I smile. "Hey," I whisper, as if afraid speaking any louder will disturb the magic in this moment.

"Hey." Brett runs a hand through his hair and grins. "Sleep well?"

His hand finds mine from under the blanket. Grasping around my fingers, he brings them to his mouth, kissing each of my knuckles in turn.

"Better than I have in a long time.”

"Me too."

He scoots closer to me and presses his lips to mine again. And even though I should be completely spent after last night's adventures, I can't help but feel that stirring once more. That need for him, that desire pooling deep in my belly, growing even at his simplest touch.

He pulls his mouth back, his striking eyes finding mine again. "What's the plan for the day?" he asks.

I tug on the back of his neck, wishing to have his mouth on me again. "We could do more of this."

But he just chuckles. "As much as I would like to do this—and believe me, I would," he says, stroking my side and making me shiver. "We should probably get ready for the day. Let me make you breakfast."

I sigh. "I guess so. Curse this human body and its need for food."

Brett chuckles again, harder this time, and a thrill runs through me. I like it when I make him laugh. "How do you like your coffee?"

"Splash of cream, two sugars."

"Okay. I'll go get some brewing." He leans down and plants a kiss on my lips. "Meet you there?"

Giving me one last peck on the lips, he rolls over and out of bed. My disappointment at his absence doesn't last long, though, because as soon as he stands, I realize he's still very naked.

I must make some kind of noise at the sight of him because he turns around, wearing an amused expression.

"Doing okay over there, beautiful?"

For a second, I don't answer. Instead, my eyes devour every inch of him.
