Page 52 of Unexpected Love

He gives me that cocky smirk that I love. “What can I say? I’ve always loved the ladies.”

I can only shake my head. Unfortunately, he sets me down. That’s when I notice that he’s freshly showered and wearing just a pair of black boxer briefs. “It’s really not fair that you look this good in just your underwear.” I walk toward his bedroom after picking up my bags.

As I lay the bags on his bed, I feel him come up behind me, wrapping his arms around my chest. “Whatcha got in the bags?” He rests his chin on my shoulder.

“I got an outfit to wear tonight.”

“I got a couple of steaks, a couple of potatoes, and some asparagus for dinner. I thought I’d make us dinner before we head out.”

“Mmmm…that sounds great. Do you want any help?”

“Nope, you relax because it’s going to be a long night. I know I didn’t let you sleep too much last night.” Just the mention of not too much sleep has me yawning.

He presses his lips to my neck. “Lie down, baby. I’ll wake you in an hour.”

I crawl onto his bed, and he covers me with the softest throw blanket I’ve ever felt. He bends down and kisses my forehead. I watch him walk out of the bedroom and close my eyes, immediately falling asleep.
