Fuck, eventually Austin would probablydrunk dial him at some point. But I could promise no more of that evil shit. Iliked being able to remember what stupid things I’d done.
“Thank you.” He reached up and stroked mycheek. “But can I tell you how glad I was that I was the person you called whenthere was a problem?”
Yep, I was blushing.
“Well, your dick did cause the problem.”
He gave me a curious look. “That brings upanother question. Why was my dick the center of your evening out?”
Someone just needed to kill me now.
“I’m having memory loss.” I shrugged.“Sorry.”
Chuckling, he kissed me again. “Just to letyou know, there’s only so often that one will work. Now you go get a shower.I’ll lay out some sweats or something on the bed for you. There’s a toothbrushand anything you should need under the sink. Once you’re ready, come downstairsand we’ll eat.”
I glanced over at the cup. “And morecoffee?”
My stomach was still iffy on the idea offood, but caffeine sounded perfect.
Maybe it would even help my pounding head.
He ran a hand down my cheek as he smiled.“If you promise me a much more thorough good morning kiss when you finishbrushing your teeth, I’ll even bring it to the bathroom while you get a showeras long as it won’t bother you.”
The fact that he was worried about that wassweet. And the fact that I was wearing most of my clothes from yesterday waseven sweeter. My pants were draped over a chair in the corner, but I had avague memory of trying to strip off my clothes last night and gettingfrustrated because they were trapping me.
Since a more logical explanation was thathe’d been trying to keep me from stripping down completely, I had somethingelse to thank him for.
“That would be wonderful.” Wanting to showhim that I really did appreciate him, I leaned in and kissed his cheek. “Thankyou.”
His cheeks pinked that time. “It’snothing.”
I shook my head. “No, you could’ve donethings a lot differently. Fuck. Most guys would have hung up and crossed me offthe list as being too insane. Instead, you came to make sure I was alright andeven made sure I didn’t wake up naked and confused. I appreciate it.”
Taking a compliment didn’t seem to be hisstrong suit. “What can I say? I go all out on a second date.”
I snorted. “I was already drunk. I probablydidn’t get more than a kiss and you didn’t buy me dinner. That’s not a date.Shit. That’s not even a hookup.”
Barking out a laugh, he looked like hecouldn’t seem to decide if he wanted to spank me or kiss me. “Go get a showerbefore I end up forgetting your coffee.”
That would be a tragedy, so I gave him avery fake innocent look and smiled. “Yes, Sir.”
I was starting to understand why Austin hadsuch a good time driving Silas crazy.
One long shower and another cup of coffeelater and I was feeling much more human. Simon’s clothes were a bit baggy on mebut that didn’t seem to be a problem judging by the way his eyes lit up when Iwalked into the kitchen.
Setting the empty mug on the counter, Ileaned my hip against it and snorted. “Get that expression off your face. Ilook like I was up all night, drunk off my ass doing stupid things.”
Simon chuckled but walked over and wrappedhis arms around me, trapping me between his body and the counter. It was hot asfuck and made me realize just how big he was. Their whole family had thehottest alphas.
Not that I was going to point that out.
“What expression?” He leaned down andkissed my neck as he squeezed my ass. “Your hair is still wet from the showerand you’re going commando under my clothes. How is that not the sexiest thingever?”
I groaned. “You didn’t leave out any forme.”
He chuckled. “Oops?”
“Yeah, I bet.” But I leaned into his touchand moaned as his teeth nipped my skin.
