CHAPTER TEN

THE PHONE RANG.

Again.

Wes turned to look at Brittany, who was sleeping amidst the rumpled sheets and blankets, her hair a cloud of gold on the pillow, one gorgeous leg thrown across him.

“You ever going to answer the phone again?” he asked her.

She opened her eyes and looked at him. And smiled. “Hello.”

He smiled back at her. “Yeah, that’s what you’re supposed to say after you pick up the phone.” He ran his hand from her shoulder to her tush and back up again. And down again. Her skin was so soft and smooth. He could touch her like this for hours and be completely entertained.

The answering machine clicked on, but then clicked off as whoever was calling hung up. He’d picked up the phone a few times when Brittany was sleeping, but whoever it was had hung up as soon as he’d said hello.

“Only person I want to talk to right now is here, in bed with me,” she told him, her smile getting even warmer. She stretched and snuggled closer to him. Man, she killed him. Continuously. “Did you have a nice nap?”

“I didn’t nap. I ran to the store—after I finally wore you out.”

She laughed. “If you honestly think you’ve worn me out…”

“Yeah?” Wes said. “What? I think you’re going to have to prove that I haven’t.”

“Kind of hard for me to prove it when I’ve already worn you out,” she countered.

Oh, he was up for that challenge. Literally. “Just say the word,” he said. “I’m ready when you are.” He took her hand and placed it on the fly of his shorts. “See?”

“Well, well,” she said. But then she frowned. “Why are you wearing clothes?”

“I told you. I went to the store.”

Brittany stopped unzipping his shorts to narrow her eyes at him. “Not to get cigarettes.”

Wes snorted. “Yeah, like I’d dare smoke and then climb back into your bed.” Man, the way she touched him… “I went to the store to deal with my other addiction.”

She kissed him and then looked up at him, all big blue eyes and that not-so-innocent smile. “Which is…?”

“You,” he somehow managed to say. “I’m completely addicted to you. I got us more condoms.”

“Good,” she said and kissed him again as he ran his fingers through her hair.

Yes, this was heaven.

The phone rang.

“This is getting annoying,” she said. “I know it wasn’t Andy calling before, because he would’ve left a message.”

The answering machine picked up. “Hey, you’ve reached Britt and Andy. Leave a message at the beep.”

“Mom, it’s Andy.”

Brittany sat up.

“Are you there? If you’re there, please pick up.”

She rolled across the bed, reaching for the telephone extension on the bedside table and clicking it on. “Hey, I’m here, buddy. How are you? How’s Phoenix?” She looked at Wes. “Sorry,” she mouthed.

He shook his head. This was not a problem. He knew she’d been hoping that Andy would call.

“I’m not in Phoenix.” Wes could hear Andy’s voice still coming through on the answering machine speaker. “I’m in San Diego.”

“What?” Brittany said.

“San Diego,” he said again.
