“You do realize, that I’m never letting you go, right?” Rugar asked.
“I don’t know where else I’d even want to be,” I admitted. “In your arms is my new favorite place.” I blew out a sigh and rested back on his chest again. “But you’re going to have to tell my family.”
He groaned, and I giggled. I knew my brother was hyper-protective of me, and I wasn’t sure if Kyle would be glad or angry that it was his best friend who’d managed to win my heart. But I knew without a doubt that I didn’t want to be the one to find out first.
“Can I stay?” Rugar asked, his tone already thick with sleep.
“I don’t ever want you to leave,” I promised him.
I closed my eyes and let the steady rhythm of Rugar’s heartbeat drag me down into the deepest sleep I’d ever experienced in my life.

Waking with Katie in my arms ranked in the top best things that had ever happened in my life. Nothing could beat sex with her or kissing her. My embrace tightened slightly, and she sighed, burrowing into me.
“Why are you awake?” she grumbled into my chest.
“I always wake up this early.”
“Hmph. Maybe, I should rethink this whole relationship idea. Being a morning person is one thing… Being an ass-crack of dawn person is an entirely different thing. That’s masochistic. I don’t know if I can deal with that. You need an intervention.”
I chuckled and kissed her cheek. With little effort, I maneuvered us into exactly the position I wanted—my cock pressed to her warm folds. She had a right to be tired. We’d made love more times that I could count last night. Once we’d started, it was a match to gasoline. Explosive. “You’re aMandybly cranky in the morning.”
She growled, sounding about as ferocious as a kitten.
“First of all…” I brushed my lips over hers. “No one said you needed to get up, too.”
“You’re about to steal away your body and make me hug a pillow.”
I grinned. Little did she know, but I had no intention of going anywhere, any time soon. “Secondly, you already agreed to this relationship. No take backs. You’re mine now, and I’m putting a ring on that finger ASAP.”
“You suck.”
“I do. All over you. And you like it.”
She huffed. “About that ring? What’s our timeline here? Like…today?” she asked hopefully. Thing was, nothing seemed wrong about that. We’d been dating/fake-dating for less than a week, but we knew each other well. Probably better than most newlyweds.
“That can be arranged, since I already have your ring. I want everyone to know you’re mine.”
“I’m more concerned about everyone knowingyou’remine. No one wants me.”
“About that…” I winced, and her eyes narrowed.
“You and Kyle did something, didn’t you?”
“Well…”
“Gah! You two!” she batted me with a pillow. “I’d be mad, but I’m not awake enough.”
I rolled her under me and wedged myself between her thighs. Katie immediately wrapped her long legs around me while Ikissed her neck and down to her chest. “So I’ve heard…morning sex is better than caffeine to get you going.”
“I’m willing to give it a shot. Then you need to take me to breakfast.”
“Anything you want, babe.” I slid home with a long, pleased sigh. Katie could ask me for anything right now and I’d gladly give it to her.
