Gah, she couldn’t be thinking that ithout coffee "Are you bringing me coffee in bed?" That now-faesture

"Breakfast, not just coffee" He sat on the edge of the bed and placed a wooden tray across her lap There was a silver do the food underneath, but whatever it was smelled delicious Or

Wyatt’s eyes glinted with lust as his gaze strayed to her chest She earing a shirt, but no bra and it was like thenipples as a s smile teased his lips She wondered if he was even aware of the way he atching her, as if he was undressing her in hisof coffee While she loved his intent focus on her, noasn’t the time "Don’t even think about it," she aze snapped up to enuinely confused Yeah, he wasn’t aware of it

She motioned to her breasts with her free hand "Whatever you’re thinking, just lock it up I’m tired, need a shower and can’t even think about…stuff"

His eyebrows quirked up and she could tell he was fighting a sotyou breakfast before I got sucked in and won’t be able to break away" Yeah, he was definitely fighting a smile

"Oh" What rong with her? She was barely sitting up and had just said she didn’t want sex But she wanted hi it, she still wanted hieance God, she needed her head exalinted wickedly "Unless of course you’re ready to go right now We could do it fast and dirty I could bend you over the bed and--"

"Enough!" Her face heated up as she took a sip of the heavenly coffee What was up with hiet a handle on hisher throat she said, "So, just ?" The schedule she’d received for hi put today, but she wanted to ht not be head of his team now, but she couldn’t help but worry about hi you" Okay, that wasn’t what she’d been asking, but the ansarmed her Before she could respond, he continued "I’ve co down at the seriousness of his tone God, had he decided he didn’t want to try things out with her after all? "Okay"

"While I’ in our bed, but no sex"

"Courting?" The as so old fashioned it sounded weird co from him

"Yes, you did" His expression darkened a fraction, but she couldn’t get a read on hi in the air, so loud her ears buzzed with all the things they weren’t saying to each other She wanted to lean forward and kiss him Well, kiss him, strip him naked and let hi out her name Of course she wanted it now even more that he’d taken sex off the table Yeah, she was pretty sure she needed her head examined "So no sex?"

He withdrew his hand but didn’ton his face "You sound disappointed"

She shrugged, not denying it, even though it was probably the one thing guaranteed to keep her sane If they weren’t sleeping together, ure out if they were compatible in other ways Which was clearly his intention "Thanks for bringing me breakfast in bed Did you or Ellie pick out the flower?" There was a single purple iris in a tiny white vase in the corner

He actually scowled, as if surprised by the question, but it was the first ti like this so she didn’t knohat to think "I did, and you’re welcome…And before you ask, Thorton and Keibler were released a couple hours ago The cops didn’t have enough to hold the a lot deeper into their financials this ti to rip apart any and all information available on Thorton Enterprises and anyone close to those two"
