“That’s true,” Roman said, joining them. “We could go buy you diapers.”

“What?” she squeaked.

“True,” Salem said, looking thoughtful. “That is a way to solve the issue.”

“No, it’s not!” she cried. “I’m coming out. Just give me a minute.”

“I’m afraid we can’t do that, Little one. Dinner is ready. Don’t raise your head.”

Huh?

Why did he say that?

Suddenly, she felt someone grasp hold of her legs and tug, they were careful not to touch her sore ankle. A cry escaped her as she was dragged across the carpet and out from under the coffee table.

She winced as she stared up at the light. Urgh.

“It’s too bright. Too bright.” She placed her arm over her eyes dramatically.

Alexei snorted. “Two minutes under the coffee table and suddenly she likes the dark.”

Actually, she didn’t like the dark.

And she also wasn’t fond of small spaces.

However, she’d trained herself to ignore her discomfort and carry on.

Still, living under a coffee table just really wasn’t a viable option for her.

As much as she might wish otherwise.

To her surprise, Salem drew her in close. Then he licked his thumb and reached out for her. She shied back. What was he doing?

“Easy,” he murmured. “Still half asleep, huh?”

Sure. That’s what was wrong.

Also, her instincts were kicking in.

Act normal.

Whatever that means.

“You’ve just got a bit of something here.” He wiped his thumb over the corner of her mouth.

“What was it?” She hadn’t eaten since breakfast. She would have noticed if she had something on her mouth before now, right?

“Probably dry drool,” Alexei said. “I’ve got some on my top.”

She swirled around to gape at the large man. Was he kidding her?

But, nope, there was a patch of something on his shirt that looked suspiciously like dried drool.

Oh. My. God.

She was so embarrassed right now.

“I drooled on you!” she cried, putting her hands over her face. “Excuse me, I’m going to go back to being a coffee table girl.”
