I was wrapped in his scent, curled beneath a blanket of sunlight and cinnamon. Wriggling in the sheets, I sighed and opened an eye to watch him sleep.

Or I would have—if he’d been there.

A familiar smell worked its way into the room, and I frowned. Was that bacon? I pondered this anomaly for a moment and then decided that maybe I really should get up and see what was what.

“Chaste?” A soft, flutelike voice sounded gently in my ears.

What the . . .?

I barely managed to turn my head before a sharp pain pierced through the softer part of my backside. I shrieked, rolling away hard enough to tumble to the floor with a thud.

Brystion bolted in from the kitchen, frying pan in hand. He was still gloriously naked.

Clutching the sheet over my chest protectively, I waved my fingers at the bed, caught between panic and momentary glee that he was actually still here. “Something bit me!”

The incubus relaxed. “Ah, yes. Nice pet you have there.”

I tore my eyes away from his sculpted abs, confused. “What?”

“The unicorn,” he said dryly, gesturing at the bed with the frying pan. “Seems he has a thing for . . . uh . . . asses.” He held in a laugh before turning around to show me the porcelain perfection of his own. “As you can see. His name is Phineas, by the way.”

I looked at the reddish-purple bruise on Brystion’s left cheek. “I didn’t know he could talk.” I glared at the unicorn, ignoring the way he leered at me from the edge of the bed. “You little shit. You’ve seen me naked!”

Scrambling to my feet, I craned my neck to look at my own reddening welt. “That better not scar,” I warned him. He just sniffed and then leaped to the floor.

I rubbed at the spot with a grimace before turning my attention back to Brystion. So damn easy to just let my eyes linger over his body. Our eyes met for a moment and whatever else I’d been going to say flew out the window.

His gaze flared into something bold and appraising, and I realized I was still mostly naked. “See something you like?” The crooked smile that turned up the corner of one cheek made it perfectly clear that at least he’d found something worth staring at. Well, that and the erection that was standing at about half-mast. I sighed, almost in disbelief.

I had a naked incubus in my bedroom. With a frying pan of half-cooked bacon and a hard-on. And a unicorn bite on his ass. Christ, this was turning out to be a weird morning.

“You look ridiculous,” I mumbled, feeling a strange relief flood through me. Suddenly shy, I drew the sheet up around my shoulders. “I thought maybe you’d left.”

“I thought about it,” he admitted, “but your dreams indicated breakfast was a better choice. Besides, my alternatives are rather limited at the moment.”

“You sure know how to make a girl feel good.” I clutched the sheet a little tighter.
