I woke feeling great.
This feeling didn’t last long because the next feeling that assaulted me was the knowledge that my body was wrapped around the long, hard body of Noctorno. He was on his back, I was nearly on top of him, my thigh thrown over both of his, my head on his chest, my arm tight around him.
To make matters worse, both his arms were around me too.
Holy crap.
My head came up but before I could move away I was imprisoned by his light blue eyes.
“You didn’t snore,” his voice rumbled sleepily and, might I add, sexily.
Uh-oh.
“Um –”
“Or move.”
“Uh –”
“Or steal the covers.”
I bit my lip.
“Gods, you cuddled,” he muttered, his eyes narrowing dangerously.
Oh dear.
“I –” I started trying to pull away but his arms got tighter so I stopped mostly because his arms were really freaking strong and I had no choice.
“What’s this now?” he murmured, his glittering, no longer sleepy eyes moving over my face.
“What?” I asked.
“Seduction?” he asked back.
Uh. What?
Then it hit me.
“No!” I cried. “I –”
“I can’t imagine you’d be very good at it,” he remarked.
Oh Lord. I was seeing he was back to the jerk.
I tugged at his hold and put my hands to his chest to get better leverage.
This didn’t work.
“Let me go.”
“Though,” he carried on, ignoring me, “you put your mind to something…” then he trailed off.
Oh God.
“Noctorno, let… me…” I shoved hard, “go!”
