Chapter 11

Charlee snuggled deeper into sleep. She felt so warm and protected—

Her eyes widened as she came fully awake. She was in her bed, wrapped in Ace’s embrace. Her back was to him, his arm around her waist, and—she swallowed—something very rigid against her ass.

She was naked, in bed with Ace.

Ace nuzzled her neck. “Good morning, sunshine.”

Her throat worked as she turned in his arms and faced him, their noses just a fraction apart. “Good morning.”

She had a hard time smiling, she was so confused.

“You okay?” He looked serious now.

She did manage to smile. “Yes. Call of nature, though.”

“Then don’t let me hold you up.” He pressed his lips to her forehead and moved back some, so she could scramble out of bed.

When she was in the master bathroom, she leaned with her back against the door, trying to catch her breath. She was okay. This was okay. She could figure out what to do next.

Damn. Her head ached and her eyes burned. She didn’t regret last night. It was wonderful. But what happens next?

She took her time, deciding to shower instead of going back into the bedroom and facing Ace.

Chicken.

After the temperature was comfortable enough, she stepped beneath the spray and let the warm water flow down her face and body. It helped to ease the tension that had been building since she’d woken.

When she finished and she was dried off, she wrapped a towel around herself and walked into her bedroom. Ace wasn’t there. Knowing him, he was probably making breakfast.

She blew out her breath. Good. She had a little more time to herself.

When Charlee had pulled herself together, she put her hair back in a ponytail and headed to the kitchen. Sure enough, Ace had breakfast going. It looked like steel-cut oatmeal, and he had brown sugar, raisins, and walnuts out on the counter, along with the container of cream she’d brought for coffee.

“Your coffee smells so good.” She offered Ace a bright smile. “And the oatmeal—one of my favorites, especially with all that extra good stuff.”

“I found the raisins and walnuts in the freezer.” He stirred the oatmeal. “Good place for them since there’s probably some time in between visits for you.”

“Yeah.” Charlee grabbed a mug out of the cabinet and started her coffee with the Keurig, her back to Ace. “I try to come up often, but I never know if something is going to keep me away for awhile.”

When she turned around, he stood in front of her. He cupped the side of her face. “Everything okay with you?”

She hesitated before she nodded. “I’m fine.”

He brushed his lips over hers and she caught her breath. “I just want to make sure we’re good.”

Her heart beat faster. Having him so near turned her brain to mush. She wanted what they had last night, but she was so afraid—

There you had it. Fear. I’m afraid.

“I’m fine,” she repeated and gave him a small smile. “And now I’m hungry.”

He smiled and ran his thumb over her cheek, sending a shiver through her.
