Curling back into him, I turned and kissedhis cheek. “You’re still thinking of me, so thank you.”
Bradley snorted. “Suck-up.”
I gave him a very prim smile. “Yes, I am,thank you very much, and I do a very good job too.”
Griffin’s chest jerked up and down as hetried not to laugh. “Come on. A few more sips and then let’s go see how thefood is coming along.”
The clearer my head got, the more Irealized I might owe Griffin an apology. Crashing at Austin’s hadn’t been theplan. As everyone started to leave the pool house to head into the house, somenaked and some with blankets around them that we’d been draped with, I keptsitting with Griffin.
When everyone finally left, I shifted inhis arms so I could see him easier. “I think I owe you an apology. I didn’tmean to keep us here overnight.”
He shook his head. “No, I made that decision.You guys were having fun and Russ explained that the picture was going to takea while. He hated the idea of interrupting Jonah when he was working, so wedecided to let you guys crash here.”
“It’s all a bit fuzzy. Are you sure I don’thave anything to apologize for?” I had confusing memories of lecturing Austinthat secret agents didn’t wear sparkly dresses, and we’d all ended up nakedsomehow, so I wasn’t sure what I needed to say to Griffin.
He chuckled and kissed my forehead. “Ifound it fascinating, but at some points you guys worried me. Like when youwere crawling naked through the backyard and when Tanner started texting Shaneand demanding duct tape.”
“Tape?”
He nodded. “For a minute I thought you guysmight be doing something dangerous because we were getting texts asking if Ithought you needed a smaller or larger dick.”
He glanced down at my mostly covered lap.“My answer was that I liked the current size perfectly fine, if you’rewondering.”
“Oh.” It took a few seconds for some of thenight to come back to me. “Jonah was starting to sketch things out and hedecided he wanted a smaller penis in the picture. I don’t remember why. Butthat got Austin going on about sizes.”
“That was my guess.” Griffin smiled. “I cansee why you don’t drink around other people. You let these guys talk you intoall kinds of crazy things, don’t you?”
I shrugged sheepishly. Griffin chuckled andkissed my forehead. “Thank you for trusting me enough to let me come.”
“No regrets?” I smiled when he shook hishead.
“None. Except next time I’m bringing moreclothes for both of us.” He scoffed. “We’re both going to look like we’re doingthe walk of shame.”
Giggling, I snuggled against him. “That’sokay. Neither of us is ashamed of what we’re doing, so it doesn’t matter.”
He kissed my head. “Very true.”
As I finished up the last of my coffee, Isat up again. “Pancakes?”
“Yes, and clothes.” He looked around theroom searching until he saw neatly stacked piles of clothes in the corner.
For some reason they were stacked by typeof item, not by person, but it didn’t take long to get me dressed. Griffinsighed as he looked at the leftover clothing. “You carry the mug and get thedoors. I’ll grab these.”
He was so cute.
“Yes, Sir.” Leading the way back into thehouse, I smiled through the headache and slightly iffy stomach. It was one ofthe most perfect mornings ever.

Waking up wrappedin Griffin’s arms was the perfect way to end a nap. When he realized I wasn’tasleep anymore, he kissed the back of my neck and hugged me tight. “Feelingbetter?”
Nodding, I wiggled closer and smiled. “Yes.Thank you for taking care of me.”
The guys, and Dakota especially, had alwaysbeen good at taking care of me, but there was something about strong arms and aloving alpha that elevated it to the next level.
Griffin hummed happily and kissed me again.“You’re welcome.”
Rolling over in his arms, I pressed my faceagainst his neck and took a deep breath. My dreams were fading quickly, but theflashes of them that were still in my head made more sense now that I knew he’dbeen napping with me.
