Wilder

“If I owned your phone, I’d change the number and never tell any of those people the new one,” Scarlett grumbles just after 6:00 a.m. when my phone refuses to shut the hell up.

I chuckle and immediately regret it. I’ve forgotten how badly my body can ache after getting myself into a fight, but I’ve been reminded in a huge fucking way.

My phone sounds with the fifth message that’s come through in the past couple of minutes and Scarlett says, “Are you gonna check that and maybe give your people a stern talking to about Monday being a day of rest?”

I glance down at her and work hard to keep my hands to myself. While I’m sitting up in the bed, she’s lying curled into my body with one leg over mine, and one arm draped across my thighs with her head resting in my lap. My phone is on the bedside table on her side of the bed. For me to check it, I’m gonna have to ask her to grab it, which’ll mean she’ll move from where she is. Since I don’t want her to do that, I’m stalling on checking the texts.

“I thought Monday was the first day of yoga for the week, not a day of rest,” I say.

“And I thought my schedule wasn’t public knowledge.”

“It’s kinda hard not to know your yoga schedule when all I hear on Mondays and Wednesdays are your thoughts on how you’re never coming back in another life as a contortionist.”

“You’re lucky your body is suffering the kind of trauma it is; otherwise, I’d take to it myself.”

“Careful what you threaten, Scar. I might just take you up on the offer.”

Her leg glides up mine as she presses herself against me and slowly lifts her head to look at me. “There’s no need for me to be careful. I’m not the one who has been doing the cockblocking here.”

Fuck, she’s sexy first thing in the morning. She’s sexy all the goddamn time, but there’s something about waking up to her when she’s half asleep and grumbly that’s hitting me deep in the gut. Not to mention that untamed hair of hers that’s falling all over the place in ways I’d do anything to see more often, and that mouth I’d fucking kill to have right now.

Unable to stop myself, I curl a hand around the back of her neck and pull her lips to mine. My kiss is unhurried; I want to take my time with her. Hell, I’d take hours with this kiss if I could. Scarlett’s in a hurry for more, and while I want to be inside her like I’ve never wanted with a woman, I don’t want to rush a fucking thing.

I want to taste her.

Touch her.

Commit every line of her to memory.

Slowly.

I want to stretch the seconds with her into hours so I can get to know the Scarlett the world doesn’t know.

I want to spend time showing her I’m a safe haven that can handle prickles.
