I smirked and tried to hold back the laugh that was threatening to escape. “Great. Now, every time I hear this, I’ll think about us... and riding in a one-horse open sleigh while we get down to business.”

Snow burst into laughter and shook her head. “Only you would go there, Bones.”

I leaned in and kissed her again. When I finally pulled away, I could still feel the heat between us.

“Round two?” she asked with her voice a little breathless and her eyes already dark again with want.

“I think maybe we should fuel up first,” I said with a grin. “Are you into cold pizza?”

She laughed, and her eyes lit up with that playful spark I loved. “Sounds perfect to me.”

I pulled her closer and wrapped an arm around her waist. “Let’s get you fed, Sugar.”

“You’re not going to eat?” she asked.

I wiggled my eyebrows. “Oh, I’m going to eat, Snow. I said I wanted to know what you tasted like, and I plan on tasting and eating every inch of you tonight.”

Chapter Eighteen

Snow

The warmth of Bones’ arms felt like the perfect cocoon as I slowly woke up. My body was tucked against his chest, and we were a tangled mess of limbs, but I didn’t mind. Being close to him felt too damn good. After pizza, the urge to be with him had been too overwhelming, and we didn’t make it to my bedroom. We had ended up on the couch again, our bodies tangled together, as both of us lost ourselves in each other. Afterward, we fell asleep in each other’s arms as exhaustion pulled us under in the early morning hours.

Bones stirred beside me, and I felt the soft press of his lips against the side of my head. His voice was deep and gravelly from sleep. “Good morning, Sugar.”

I smiled softly at the sound of his voice, and the roughness of it made my heart flutter in ways I couldn’t explain. “Good morning,” I whispered back.

We were both naked with only a blanket draped over us. I could feel his skin against mine, and I couldn’t help but sigh in contentment. There was something about being close to him like this, something that felt so... right.

“What time is it?” I asked, my voice still a little thick with sleep.

Before either of us could try to figure it out, there was a loud knock on the kitchen door. The sound cut through the air like a bucket of cold water.

“Oh my god,” I gasped, and my eyes widened with panic.

Bones chuckled lowly beside me while his arm tightened around me as he leaned in and kissed the top of my head. “I’m going to assume it’s around eight o’clock,” he said, his voice still rough with sleep.

“Open up!” Wick called from the other side of the door, and his voice was full of gruff impatience.

I froze for a moment, and my heart hammered in my chest. Bones and I were naked on the couch and tangled up in each other with only a blanket over us. And, of course, Wick, Nut, and Bonnie were outside ready to get to work and oblivious to the fact that Bones and I were currently in an entirely different kind of situation.

I jumped up from the couch, and my eyes darted around the room for my clothes. Everything seemed to be scattered around us, and I didn’t even know where to start.

Bones shifted and got up a little slower, clearly in no rush to leave the warmth of our shared moment. “Just get dressed, Sugar. They can wait a couple of minutes,” he said, with a hint of teasing in his voice.

I quickly spotted my pants and underwear by the tree and grabbed them. I slipped them on as quickly as I could. My gaze drifted back to Bones, who was stretching with his arms raised high above his head. His body was a perfect sight—muscles stretching, his chest broad, and his tattoos seemed to come alive with the movement. I couldn’t tear my eyes away.

“Would you please put your clothes on? You’re distracting me,” I said, finally breaking my gaze to finish getting dressed. I turned my back to him and tried to focus.

Bones chuckled from behind me, and the sound was deep and rich in the quiet room. I heard him move, and before I knew it, his strong arms were around me. He pulled me back against his chest, and his breath fanned over my ear as he spoke. “I’m going to need a better good morning before I put my clothes on.”

I turned in his arms and felt my heart race at his words. “One kiss, and then you put your clothes on,” I bargained, as my lips half-curled into a smile.

Bones shook his head slowly, and his lips tugged into that dangerous grin. “Two kisses,” he demanded, his eyes lighting up with desire.

I rolled my eyes. Seriously? Was I really going to argue with this hot-as-hell man who wanted two kisses from me instead of one? No, I wasn’t that stupid.

I leaned into him and kissed him deeply. My hands roamed over the strong lines of his chest as I pulled him closer. His mouth moved against mine, demanding more, and our kiss deepened. Both of us were lost in the sensation of it. I felt like I could kiss him forever, as if time didn’t exist.
