PHOEBE

I can’t help but giggle. I’m like a stupid little girl, and I can’t stop.

I thought I knew what great sex was, but . . . yeah, I’d had no idea. He spanked me, and I really fucking liked it. Who knew? He made me orgasm twice, which I have never done before.

The entire night is just kind of . . . surreal.

Asher Whitlock, my employer, the police officer I can’t stand, and the bossy asshole, is still buried deep inside me. I must be dreaming.

I giggle again, and Asher pushes onto his elbows, staring down at me. “Are you laughing at me?”

“No. Definitely not at you.”

“Then at what?”

It’s probably not the best reaction to laugh after earth-shattering sex, but I honestly just can’t believe it.

“The kind of . . . unbelievability of this whole night.” I run my fingers through his hair. “First, the whole runaway thing, then my car running out of gas, and then us ending up here—together—naked.”

“I like you naked.”

“That makes two of us.”

Yeah, he is fucking perfect, and seeing him with his shirt open was absolutely nothing compared to seeing him naked. His chest all muscles and dips and valleys. He has that perfect V-shape at his hips, and don’t even get me started on his arms. Those are totally my thing, and Asher has arms that I want to stay wrapped up in. They come with an added bonus of having a half sleeve hidden under all those clothes. I run my fingers along the lines, tracing the outline of a dove with its wings open. It’s holding a vintage lock in its feet and there is a flower below it.

I can feel his eyes on me, and for some reason, I’m much too vulnerable to look at him. Instead, I focus on the black-and-white ink on his arm and shoulder. “Why a dove?”

He pushes my hair back and tilts my face to meet his eyes, which are currently light blue with a dark rim around the edge. “For my mother.”

“And the lock?”

“Because of my last name.”

“And where is the key?”

He moves his arm a little and it’s inside the flower.

I smile. “It’s beautiful. I need to clean up.”

“Hey, are you okay?”

I nod. “I’m fine. It’s been a long night, and it is”—I glance at the clock and my eyes widen—“four in the morning.”

Asher kisses my nose and then pushes up. There is a sense of emptiness as soon as he’s gone. Not going to unpack that right now, I’ll find another time to dwell on it. I grab my blanket, wrapping it around myself, and he heads into the bathroom.

I hear a click of the lock and flop back down. Well, that was unexpected. I didn’t think I would ever actually go through with it—or that he would either. Yet, we both did.

I force myself back up, my legs wobbly as though I’m a newborn giraffe taking its first steps. The contents of my purse are scattered across the floor, but the one case there reminds me to take my pill.
