Waking up, I never wanted to let go of Lacey. She fit perfectly in the crook of my arm, her head against my chest and the calm breaths she took as she slept warming my skin. But there were things to do—she still needed to talk to Austin.

Not wanting her to think I had abandoned her when she woke up to find me out of the room, I roused her with a gentle massage and a few strategically placed kisses along her throat and face.

Her eyelids fluttered then her expression widened as she stifled a yawn.

"The sun is up, beautiful," I whispered against her ear. She tried to burrow against me, but I wasn't going to surrender to that sweet temptation. "I'm going to take a quick shower and then start breakfast."

"I'll make breakfast for you," she said, still trying to bury her face against my shoulder.

"You can cook me dinner," I countered, my hand searching for the top of her thighs. I eased my hand between her legs and gave a short squeeze. "You're going to want a long, hot shower to work the kinks out. And you are talking to Austin this morning, remember?"

"I believe you," she answered. "But I want a good morning kiss before you go."

"I couldn't live without one," I confessed before rolling her onto her back. A couple dozen carnal ways to kiss her fluttered through my mind, but I kept it mostly chaste and with only a little lingering. A slow kiss on her lips, a sucking on the hollow of her shoulder, a little bite followed by a soothing lick—all as I slid a little more off the bed.

"French toast with apple maple syrup and a touch of powdered sugar," I promised, knowing it was her absolute favorite breakfast. "And some crispy bacon to aid all those muscles we worked last night."

A wicked grin whipped across her face and I was glad, for a second, that all she could see of me were blocks of light and dark because my cock surged that last little bit to become fully erect.

Lifting her hand from the mattress, I bowed over it and gave her one last kiss before retreating to my room for clothes and then into the kitchen to start breakfast. While I cooked, I texted Austin, reconfirming that
