AMY

A hot, wet, horrible-smelling tongue drags across my face. My arms flail, pushing at a heavy, muscular body covered in hair. “What the fuck?”

God, my jaw aches like I’ve got an ice pick rammed into the bone.

The tongue licks my upper arm, and my eyes pop open. I squint against the sun’s bright light. “Damn it. Get the fuck away from me.”

Pushing onto my elbows, I find myself on a low-slung, wide-seated cream sectional sofa. It takes me a moment to survey the space and figure out I’m in Suzanne’s living room. Landscape tapestries and carved wooden masks hang on cheerful yellow walls, intensifying the sunlight already burning my eyes. A high-pitched whine turns my attention to the black Labrador sitting impatiently and expectantly beside me.

“Oh, fuck. I’m sorry, Ollie.” I rub his head in apology. “I’m not a morning person. Also, your breath is horrendous. But I still love you madly.”

“It’s not morning,” Suzanne says drily as she enters from the kitchen. A colorful head wrap restrains her dark curls, her face is devoid of makeup and a stunning silk kaftan drapes her voluptuous figure. “It’s nearly three in the afternoon. And I’m giving Oliver the probiotics the vet recommended for his breath. It’s definitely better.”

“Ugh. If that’s better, it must’ve been like decomposition before.” I sit up and rub sleep from my eyes. “What the hell am I doing on your sofa? And where is my purse? I need my pills.”

She grabs my Gucci Dionysus bag off the mirrored console table by her apartment door and brings it to me. “What are you taking? And why?”

“I had an emergency root canal a few days ago. They gave me Norco and some megadose ibuprofen.” I throw the blanket off and sit up. I’m dressed in the pajamas I’d put on the morning before, the wide-legged pants being the closest I could find to what Lily wore at the family meeting in Kane’s library. My lingerie set has a matching top with a corseted back that shows off my stomach. Really, my ensemble is sexier and more comfortable than what Kane’s bitch was wearing.

Standing, I walk over to Suzanne’s brass and glass bar cart and pour myself a gin and tonic. Keeping my head down, I hide my horrified expression. I’m sore between my legs and sticky. There’s no mistaking that I’ve had sex, but I don’t remember it.

Please, God, let it have been my husband.

“You shouldn’t drink and take painkillers,” she tells me.

Turning, I look her in the eye as I wash down my pills. Room-temperature gin and tonic should be disgusting, but it tastes like ambrosia to me. “Darius threw out all the alcohol in our apartment.” At least what he could find … “I need a damn drink.”

“You need to eat something, too. Those pills on an empty stomach will make you vomit for hours.”

I shoot her a look, but she’s already turned her back to me and returned to the kitchen. With a quick, practiced toss
