MACY COULDN’T turn over. At least she couldn’t turn over and take the blankets with her. Something was tangled in them. Refusing to open her eyes for fear she wouldn’t be able to go back to sleep if she did, she fisted her hands in the blankets and pulled. Hard.

Damn! They wouldn’t give an inch, and she was cold!

Reaching out to get a better grip, she encountered something big and warm and…She quickly pulled her hands away as memory flooded her, bringing her instantly awake. Thad was in her bed. The covers wouldn’t budge because he was sleeping on them, and taking up far more than his share of room.

Pressed to the very edge of the mattress, she made a noise of impatience, but he didn’t stir. She leaned up to see if there was possibly more room on the other side of him, but he seemed to have settled himself right in the middle.

“Of course,” she muttered, lying on her back and staring up at the ceiling. At least he didn’t snore. Richard had made enough racket to rattle the walls, and used to keep her awake for hours. She’d try to race him to sleep, hoping to slip into oblivion before the snoring started. But at least with Richard she hadn’t had to worry about moving for fear she’d touch him. Feeling like she couldn’t move made her fidget all the more.

Rolling onto her side, she noticed how the moonlight peeked through the partially closed shades, highlighting Thad’s silhouette as he slept, facing her. She could see his stubbled jaw, the contour of his cheek, the thick, dark lashes of one eye.

He had beautiful eyes, she thought, the sexiest pair she’d ever seen. She remembered how they’d lowered to her mouth as he’d bent his head to kiss her at the chapel and wondered what that kiss would have been like had she not taken matters into her own hands.

Would it have been tentative, experimental? No. He was too confident for anything that weak. Possessive? If she were Valerie, maybe. No, she’d guess Thad Winters’s kiss would be gentle yet demanding. His lips would meet and mesh with hers, molding her mouth to his. He’d palm the back of her head and his fingers would delve into her hair as he parted her lips with his tongue to thrust inside. And she’d…oh, God, she’d melt. Her heart was racing just thinking about it.

“You’re staring at my mouth.”

Macy’s gaze flew up and encountered Thad’s eyes, now looking at her with something akin to amusement or curiosity or both. She couldn’t tell. It was too dark.

“You were snoring,” she accused, hoping he couldn’t see her blush.

“It’s pretty tough to snore when you’re not asleep.”

“You were asleep.”

“Not once you starting wiggling around.”

“Well, you were hogging the bed. What was I supposed to do?”

He lifted his head and looked around. “Oh. Sorry.” He slid over, but didn’t turn away.

“Where’s all that bravado you went to bed with?” he asked.

“I don’t know what you mean.
