He came back and pulled me back to him. I let him.
After a man gives you two good orgasms, he earns the right to hold you.
“Sleep well, darlin’ Dee.”
“Jax, was it okay?” The words slipped out before I could hold them back. Aye, those bloody insecurities kept rearing their ugly head.
“Baby, if it was any more okay, I’d have a heart attack.”
I smiled. And on those words, I fell into deep sleep, which I hadn’t done in months.
CHAPTER17
Jax
The first thing I noticed when I woke up was I was alone in bed.
The second thing I noticed was the sound of frantic movement—like someone trying to escape without waking the person they’d just slept with.
I cracked one eye open, grinned when I saw Dee standing near the chair in the corner of the room, pulling on her jeans as if they’d personally offended her. Her shirt was half-buttoned, her fiery hair was a wild mess, and her back was turned to me—but the tension in her shoulders told me everything I needed to know.
“Mornin’,” I drawled, propping myself up on one elbow.
Her fingers fumbled with the last button on her shirt. “Don’t.”
“Don’t what?” I drawled, not even bothering to hide my amusement.
She whirled around, her cheeks flushed and her green eyes blazing. “Don’t do that thing where you act like this is normal.”
I grinned. “Dee, it’s morning. People saymornin’to each other. It’s basic human interaction.”
Her glare deepened, and she turned back to her jeans, yanking up the zipper with so much force I half-expected it to snap. “This shouldn’t have happened.”
I let out a low chuckle, leaning back against the pillows. “I think it was bound to happen, darlin’. You were just too stubborn to admit it.”
“I’mnotstubborn,” she retorted, her face mutinous. I hoped that we had a daughter who looked just like her.
Wow! Really?
Yeah, I was gone for this lass.
I raised an eyebrow. “No?”
She made a sound that was somewhere between a growl and a groan. She ran a hand through her hair and paced the room like a caged animal.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m looking for my knickers.”
I felt around the bed and pulled her knickers out from under my pillow. She snatched them away and stared at them like they were a puzzle to be solved.
I watched her, fascinated by the way she could simultaneously look so put-together and so completely frazzled.
“Dee, come here and give me a morning kiss.”
She looked at me like I’d lost my mind, her panties hanging off one finger. “You have some brass balls on you, Yank.”
“You bet!”
