When my alarm rang, I’d had a grand total of two hours of sleep. I was tired but happier than I ever remember being.

“What is that?” Jameson grumbled into my hair.

“My alarm. Go back to sleep.”

“Why would you set your alarm for—” He looked at his nightstand and frowned. “—fucking three in the morning?”

“I have to go to work.”

“You go to work at three?”

“Have to be there by four, and I’m slow in the morning. Usually it takes me about four hits of the snooze button, two cups of coffee, and a cold shower to be awake enough to drive.”

Jameson seemed wide awake now. “How often do you get up this early?”

“I work at the bakery Monday to Friday, sometimes on Saturdays if Rayna needs me.”

His face turned dark, and he frowned at me. “Are you telling me that you’ve been working at the bakery in the morning and then coming to the garage?”

I moved out of his arms and detangled my legs from his. “Yes?” It sounded more like a question, but I wasn’t sure why he was suddenly so angry.

“You’ve been working for me for weeks.”

“Yes?”

“Don’t you also work at the Donut Hole?”

“Some nights.”

“What the fuck, Willa?” He looked ready to burst a blood vessel.

I scrambled out of bed, glad I put on a shirt and underwear before I fell asleep. “I should go. I don’t want to be late.”

“You’re always late.”

It was my turn to glare at him, but he didn’t seem affected in the least. He also didn’t seem to want to let this conversation die the slow and awkward death it deserved. “Why didn’t you say something?”

I scrambled for my jeans that I had thrown on the floor the night before. “What difference would it make? You blackmailed me into working for you. I didn’t think you’d care that I already had two jobs.”

Finally I spotted my jeans and stepped into them. They were about halfway up my legs when Jameson appeared next to me. I hopped up and down to speed up the process and get out of there. I didn’t understand why he was upset. I told him I didn’t want to work for him from the start. This should not be breaking news.

His face was serious. Way too serious for three in the morning. “Willa, I would have never made you work for me full time if I’d known.” His anger morphed into regret.

I avoided looking at him and turned back to wrestling with my clothes. “All good. No hard feelings, especially now that I don’t work for you anymore.” I managed to get the jeans over my butt and hold my breath to close the button. After another short struggle with my shirt, I was fully dressed. For some reason it made me feel much more confident, and I turned to face a hovering Jameson.

“I really do need to go.”

He stepped closer and put his arms around me. I automatically sank into him, putting my hands on his smooth chest that I would never get enough of touching.
