A WARM BODY SURROUNDING her. That was nice.
She also had a dry mouth and a pounding headache.
Last night came back to her in a rush. All that drinking, and then getting into the car, and then . . .
And then . . .
Her eyes shot open. Where the hell was she? She tried to get up, but those arms around her held her still.
“It’s okay, Hannah. You’re with me.”
Her pounding heart settled at the smooth sound of Kal’s raspy voice. She relaxed against him.
“I came here last night.”
“Yeah.”
“And then what happened?”
“You stripped naked, climbed in my bed and passed out.”
She did not remember that part at all. “Really? That was it?”
“That was it.”
“Huh.” How disappointing. “I need to pee.”
He let go of her, and she slid out of bed and went into the bathroom. It was still dark outside, which was a good thing, because she had work today. She used the bathroom, washed her hands, found Kal’s toothpaste and rubbed it around her teeth, which helped a little. She went back into the bedroom and sat on the side of the bed.
“There’s a glass of water and some acetaminophen on the nightstand.”
“Bless you,” she said, feeling around in the dark for the glass. She found the tablets and took them, then slid back in bed, positioning her body back against his for warmth. “What time is it?”
“Five thirty.”
“Are you on shift today?”
“Yeah. But I’ve got plenty of time. I called your mom last night and let her know you were with me. She told me she’d take Oliver to school.”
“Thank you for doing that. I’m sorry about barging in on you last night.”
“You didn’t. You know I never mind having you around.”
“I can’t believe I just popped in like that.”
He smoothed his hand down her arm and over her hip. Her body responded with a flash of goose bumps. “You don’t need an invitation, Hannah. You’re welcome over here anytime.”
“I don’t want to assume.”
His hand stilled. “Assume what?”
“That you’re available all the time. You could have had someone else here.”
He laughed and nuzzled the back of her neck. “There’s no one else but you.”
“You mean last night.”
“I mean at all.”
Her belly fluttered at his words. So powerful and important, making her want to roll over and have a serious conversation with him about where they were in their relationship and what it all meant. But that was a conversation meant for later, when they both had the time to really talk it out.
“And if you hadn’t been passed-out drunk, I would have come up here and gotten naked with you.”
His erection brushed against her thighs. She was damn sorry she’d missed that. “You’re naked now.”
He cupped her breast, his thumb teasing lazy circles around her nipple. “Yeah, I am.”
He played with her breasts and nipples until her body throbbed, slid his cock between her thighs, stroking back and forth, making her rock back toward him. “I like that.”
“You’ll like it even more when I’m inside you.”
He slipped away long enough to put on a condom, then he was back. He grasped her hip and slid inside of her, making her gasp at the electric contact.
He rolled her over onto her knees. She braced herself on her elbows as he drove deep. The pleasure was so intense, so fiery-hot that she thought she might die from the sensations of his body pressed so intimately to hers. She reached down to rub her clit, to get herself there as he continued to thrust until she was right on the verge of orgasm.
“Oh, fuck yeah, do it,” he said, his voice deep and guttural as he dug his fingers into her hips and drove his cock deeply into her. She couldn’t take these intense sensations, the way he moved against her, the way her body was so connected to his.
She splintered, feeling as if a thousand stars had exploded within her when she came. Kal pistoned against her and groaned as he climaxed, only enhancing the waves of her own orgasm.
He rolled them to their sides and kissed her shoulder while they both came down from that incredible high. He stroked her all over, and Hannah had to admit she liked the feel of his hands roaming her body. She wished they could stay like this all day.
“Okay, so I meant for that to be a slow and lazy morning lovemaking session,” he said.
Her lips curved. “Do you hear me complaining?”
“I heard . . . something. Screaming, maybe?”
She laughed and rolled over
