Chapter 15

Whispers from the door woke me. I pulled the blankets over my head and hid. However, the smell of fresh coffee pulled me from my comfortable cocoon.

“Breakfast in bed, Sunshine.”

I peeked over the blanket at the tray Jonathan had put in the center of the bed. Fresh croissants and raspberry jam, berries, and cream, lox and bagels. He ordered an assortment of items, a veritable smorgasbord for me. He handed me a latte and moved in for a kiss. I turned my head to avoid his lips. There was no way I would assault him with my foul breath.

“I have morning breath. Ewww.” I rolled to the side of the bed and headed straight to the bathroom, where my toothbrush lay on the marble counter. Minty fresh, I returned to his bed and his kisses.

“I don’t care about your breath. I just wanted to kiss you.”

And he did for over an hour. By the time we finished, breakfast was cold and my latte was flat, but my lips felt wonderfully swollen, and my heart felt full.

We lay in bed for the rest of the morning, watched TV, and made love. I knew it wasn’t really love, but it was the way I would want a man who loved me to have sex with me. When Jonathan had sex, he focused solely on me. It was beautiful to be seen, especially by someone so incredible. It was as if I were worth his time.

Time passed too quickly, and I was forced to shower and dress so I could attack the day ahead of me. I feared leaving him alone in the bedroom. Would I come out and find him gone with only a note and money to confirm his existence?

“Will you be here when I come out?” He smiled, which looked so good on Jonathan. Why did he have to be so attractive?

“Yes, I only left you the other day because I didn’t want it to be awkward.”

“Leaving me made it awkward.” Without thought, my lower lip dropped to a pout.

“I’m sorry, that wasn’t my intent.” His expressive eyes lowered.

“You don’t have to be sorry. I want to enjoy another kiss before you go. I don’t know when you’ll want my company again, so I have to make it last.” I didn’t wait for his response. I turned around and walked into the bathroom. The charm bracelet shone under the harsh bathroom lighting. A sun made of metal possessed with the power to warm my heart.

His thoughtfulness overwhelmed me. Never had I felt so comfortable in a man’s presence. Take the extravagant trappings away, and I’d still like him. He was nice and incredibly sexy. The bracelet slid from my wrist to sit on the counter. I’d wear it today to remind myself of him. Although I would be surrounded by darkness, I had become sunshine to someone else.

When I emerged from the bathroom, he was sitting in the plush chair by the window dressed in jeans and a button-down shirt.
