Julia woke up with a naked man underneath her.

She must have crawled beneath the blankets, or he’d put her under them, because she was definitively under them now. The belt of her dressing gown had come loose while they slept. Her nightgown was bunched up around her hips. Jasper’s bare chest rose and fell beneath her cheek, and his naked thigh was wedged firmly between her legs. And like an idiot, Julia had been sleeping through it.

She let out a groan of self-pity. Jasper moved underneath her, flexing his thigh in his sleep. It was everything Julia could do to lie very, very still. If he woke up, he would likely put a stop to it. If she just lay still, surely there couldn’t be any harm in enjoying the feel of him for a few moments. She shifted her hips as slowly as she could manage, trying to find the ideal position from which to appreciate her good fortune.

It was too much. A rumbling noise vibrated through his chest, and suddenly Julia was pinned very happily between the mattress and Jasper. He buried his face in her neck, and his hands began to wander her body. When his palm closed over her breast, another happy rumble sounded—this time against her ear. His mouth traveled down, kissing his way across her neck. Down past her collarbone. When he reached the linen-covered bud of her nipple, he took it between his teeth and pulled.

It didn’t hurt—far from it—but it was surprising enough that Julia cried out. She buried her fingers in his hair, encouraging him. Jasper answered her with a throaty hum. He swirled his tongue before pulling with his teeth again. It was…she was…goodness.

His other hand was not idle. He’d cupped her waist, kneading and brushing his fingers across the skin there, but when she cried out it began to travel again. Down her hip, across her thigh, up and back against the hypersensitive skin of the inside of her leg. When he touched between her legs, she jumped and let out a yelp.

Jasper froze. His teeth released her nipple and his head lifted. The fog of sleep slowly cleared from his eyes as he looked at her.

“Good morning,” Julia said. There was zero hope her face wasn’t bright pink with embarrassment.

“Good morning.” His hand retreated back to her thigh. “I owe you an apology. I thought I was dreaming.”

Julia would tell him what he could do with his apology. “Jasper.”

“Yes?”

“If you stop, I will never forgive you.” She pulled on the hair trapped between her fingers. “Ever.”

He dropped his chin to her chest. His lips curved against her sternum. His palm was still cupped around her breast. “I thought you just came to talk.”

“We talked.” She shifted her hips. “Now, seduction.”

“More passion than you can stand.”

“You were listening.”

The room was quiet for a moment. Then the hand resting on her thigh moved. His fingers drew a spiral against her skin. “Tell me something.”

“What?” The spirals circled up, in. Making slow progress toward her center.
