Chapter Eleven

The scent of fresh coffee permeated Livia’s senses, drawing her to the surface of her dream.

Her dream about Carver.

She inwardly groaned—she couldn’t even keep the man from visiting her unconscious mind.

With her eyes still closed in sleep, she froze.

Wait. A. Minute.

Had she imagined turning over in the night to find a big, strong arm anchored around her waist? And a pair of steely thighs behind hers?

What about that stiff rod that rode along her backside?

Unless she dreamed those things, the man had shared her bed last night.

She opened her eyes and blinked at her surroundings. Carver wasn’t standing right in front of her and when she rolled onto her back, she didn’t see him anywhere in the room.

Just then, he pushed the door open and walked in carrying a mug of steaming coffee.

His gaze fell on her. “You’re up.”

She already knew she looked a mess. She couldn’t win any awards for beauty when she first woke up. Yet the expression in his eyes sent a trickle of warmth through her belly.

She cast around for something to say. Morning conversation with a lover was not something she was practiced at.

“The smell of coffee woke me.”

He crossed the room in a few long strides and placed the mug in her hands. Their fingers brushed in the transfer, lifting a memory of him touching her as she slept. Of one hand always resting on her.

He moved to the window and swished the curtain back, filling the room with early morning sunlight. The sky was streaked with the pink of sunrise.

“This is a good start with the coffee.” She took a sip of the delicious brew. “But why are we up so early?”

“I have a surprise for you.”

She lowered her mug. “What kind of surprise?”

Did she even like surprises? She couldn’t remember ever having a good one, only bad.

“Drink your coffee and get dressed.”

“Did you wake me up just to boss me around?”

He returned to the bed. His strong body sent a thrill through her. When he planted a hand on the bed and leaned over her very, very slowly, a knot tightened in her core.

“If you really want to see me bossing you around, try me, darlin’.” He kissed her, gently brushing his lips over hers.

She didn’t even get a chance to argue that she had morning breath before he straightened and left her alone.

What in the world was Carver up to?

How long was this surprise going to take? She had to open the bar in a few short hours or her lunch regulars would be disappointed.

The only way to find out what Carver had planned for her was to finish her coffee and get dressed.

When she walked into the living room wearing her standard uniform of jeans and a Badlands T-shirt, he was sitting on the couch with Angel in his lap.

He looked up at her entrance.

“Is this all right for whatever we’re doing?” She waved a hand over her attire.

He nodded. “We’ll be outdoors. Do you have a light jacket
