Chapter 12

Her head shot up and she stared into his eyes. “No. No, I didn’t mean it that way. I simply meant I was relieved it didn’t happen when I was basically unconscious. When I do something so personal, I like to be awake for it.”

Lucas breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s good to hear. For a minute there I thought I grossed you out.”

Kensie’s mouth fell open, and then she busted out laughing. “Did you just use the term, grossed you out?”

He scuffed a bare foot on the floor. “Yeah.”

She grinned as he blushed. “You, Mr. Le Beau, are an interesting dichotomy.”

“I suppose if you live long enough, that’s bound to happen.”

Kensie frowned, but didn’t ask what he meant by his comment.

Damn, he would have to watch what he said around her until he was able to tell her the truth. Best to change the subject. “So, about last night. Let me fill in the gap. You fell asleep after a few glasses of wine. I carried you up here and put you to bed. Fully clothed as you can see. Your virtue remains intact, my lady.” He bowed dramatically, making her laugh again. Goddess, he loved her laugh.

She suppressed a giggle fit and then checked him out from strong arms to thickly muscled thighs. Cocking her head, she asked. “You really did carry me from the couch to the bed didn’t you?”

“Yes, ma’am.”

“I’m sorry you had to do that. I know I’m a large girl. Did I hurt your back?”

“No, cher. And you’re not nearly as large as you think you are. The only thing I regret about last night was having to lay you down. I would rather have held you in my arms the entire night.”

Kensie blushed and dropped her eyes. She always did that when she was uncomfortable with something he said or did. He couldn’t help but grin like an idiot. The only reason she would be affected by him would be because she had feelings for him.

When he remained quiet, she looked up again. “What?” she asked suspiciously.

“You like me, Miss Brown.” His joyful answer brightened the room like an intense ray of sunshine had broken through a cloud.

“Well…I…”

His grin grew into the biggest smile she’d ever seen on his face. His dimples were so deep, her heart tripped. He loomed over her, gripping the headboard on either side of her head. “You’re incredibly gorgeous and I’m hopelessly in love with you. How could I not be overjoyed? I just spent the night with you in my bed.”

Kensie began to sputter. She couldn’t seem to form a coherent thought.

“You take a minute to think about that. In the meantime, how does breakfast sound?” he asked, pushing himself upright and giving her the space she needed to collect herself.

She accepted the hand he held out to her and followed him to a large country kitchen. They must be in the private section of the main house.

He settled her on a stool where she could watch him and sip coffee as he made omelets.
