“Stacey,” a rough, husky voice whispered. “Wake up.”

“Huh?” She stretched a little, arching her back as her eyelids fluttered open to the most wonderful vision imaginable. Doug’s long, dark hair touched his bare shoulders. His dark, intense eyes focused on her, and only her. “What time is it?”

“Five-thirty.” He brushed her hair from her face, letting his fingers linger across the soft part of her neck, warming her entire body.

“Why are you waking me up this early?” She pulled the blanket over her naked body, then curled up on her side, resting her head on his thigh. “It’s too early to get up.” She closed her eyes tight, not wanting to leave this place and time. The world stood still when she was in his arms. There was no murder. No speculation that Doug could have harmed anyone.

“All right,” he said, “but I don’t think we want to be here, like this, when—”

“Oh.” She sat up. “That would be awkward.”

“You certainly have a way with words.” He sat on the edge of the chaise lounge, holding her clothes in one hand. His other traced her check, then he ran his thumb across her lips before he gently kissed them. “Good morning, beautiful.”

He pulled back, his soft brown eyes still locked with hers, his palms tenderly cradling her face. “Last night was special.”

“It was,” she said. Her heart fluttered with a mixture of fear and passion. “So, which one of us is going to blush the most at breakfast?”

He groaned, dropping his forehead to hers. “You rarely blush, and you have this uncanny way of making everyone else around you blush. Really, sometimes it might be a good idea to put a filter in.”

“Too much fun to watch people squirm.” She let the back of her hand roll across his check. It was warm and soft, and everything about him felt right. “Last night might have been a little blush-worthy, but only because this is my dad’s house, and I’ve never done it—”

“Filter.” He covered her mouth with his hands. “I don’t want to know where or who, ever. Really.”

She smiled. “Well, Douglas Tanner, are you jealous?”

“Yes.” He pressed his lips against hers, but he cut it short. “We keep doing that, we’re going to end up doing what we did last night again.”

“I’m up for it.” Now that she’d had him, there would be no one else for her, ever. The way he’d made love to her… He’d claimed her, like a king did his queen.

He groaned. “Of course you are, but getting caught would be more than blush-worthy.”

“You have a good point,” she said. “This is something my dad certainly isn’t ready for, but I’m still a little surprised he seemed to be okay with us.”

“I didn’t exactly say that. He might be okay with old-fashioned dating.”

“Dating? We’re way past dating.”

“True,” he said, “but this is still your dad’s house. I don’t think we need to flaunt this in his face.”

“I really don’t think he cares.”

“He does,” Doug said. “He’s ready for us to date.
