Igroan, not ready to open my tired eyes. Pain throbs through my head like a jackhammer on a sidewalk. How much did I drink last night? In my mind I play back the night, trying to remember exactly what I got up to. I can picture Mason, Paisley, and Jake, us all laughing and drinking. From my memory, I had at least four of those cocktails. I can recall dancing with Mason, then it’s all hazy.

I grab my pillow and cover my head. Why did I do this to myself? I see a flash of a memory of Brody standing with his arms crossed, and I bolt straight up in bed, the pillow going flying. I glance around my surroundings, and the room spins. Where the hell am I? This isn’t my room. The sheets next to me are all messed up like someone slept there beside me, and I’m in an oversized T-shirt that definitely belongs to someone a lot larger than me.

I break into a cold sweat. Oh, dear God, please tell me I didn’t go home with Mason. I wasn’t even into him. A wave of nausea washes over me. What the hell came over me last night? I run a hand through my bird’s nest of hair, searching the room for my discarded clothes and spotting them on the hardwood floor. This room is nice; it has that whole country charm thing going on, with a view out the window of rolling hills. I remember Mason saying something about living on a ranch out of town, and my panic kicks up a beat.

“Sleeping Beauty finally decided to grace me with her presence,” comes a deep voice that’s not Mason. My heart settles a little as Brody enters the room carrying a glass of orange juice and a box of Advil. I’m still not sure what happened, but at least I know I didn’t make a colossal mistake in going home with the wrong man.

I place a hand over my chest. “Thank God,” I whisper to myself.

“Thank God?” he questions.

“For a second…” I stop mid-sentence, not wanting to go on.

His jaw tightens. “For a second you thought you went home with Mason?” I feel the heat of his intense eyes boring through me, and my head throbs harder.

I close my eyes, trying to block out the pain. “Yes. I mean, no. I…” My head hammers, and I can’t think straight. Why am I in Brody’s bed? And why does he look so well put together at this hour on a Sunday morning? It’s just not fair.

He sits on the bed beside me and passes the juice over. “Thought you might need these,” he grumbles, and I know he’s not impressed.

“Thank you.” He pops two of the tablets in my hand, and I suck them back with a swig of juice. Please Lord let them work. I wince, my head spinning after throwing my head back. Oh, this is the hangover from hell. I’m going to kill Paisley for talking me into the date.
