My eyes are closed but I’m smiling as I rest on Connor’s warm chest, rising and falling in rhythm. Goose bumps prickle my bare shoulder, but he anticipates them, satisfies yet another need as he pulls the blanket higher up onto my shoulder.

“You comfortable?” he murmurs.

“Mm-hmm.” I open my eyes. “Except . . .”

“Except?”

My stomach rumbles, the famished beast within weak now from hours of emptiness. “Except I’m starving.”

Connor chuckles. “I could cook you something. I happen to make the best frozen pizza in the world.”

I giggle, then gasp. “Oh, wait! My neighbor gave me a whole pan of chocolate cupcakes.” I have earned those. My eyes light up, and I twist toward him. “We could watch the movie now. With a midnight snack?” Sleep be damned—I’ll make my coffee extra strong tomorrow morning.

He kisses the tip of my nose. “Whatever you want.”

I smile slyly and move in, kissing him slowly, savoring his taste on my lips. When I pull back, I whisper seductively in his ear, “Cupcakes and Star Wars, please.”

“Yes, ma’am.” Connor plants a soft kiss on my forehead before slipping out to the kitchen to retrieve the cupcakes.

I watch him walk away, lying in the warmth of the bed, already counting the moments until his arms are around me again.
