Dr Lovely Washington frohen she felt the sun bea already? She patted thewhen she felt cool skin under her pal so incoherent

She s inme”

“Whashuleafmelone,” he mumbled

“I won’t leave you alone until you get up and shut out the sun,” she said, pinching her forehead “My head hurts And aren’t you late or so?”

When he didn’t move, she went to throw the sheet off, then stopped abruptly Frowning, she patted her bare breasts Uh-oh Where is my shirt? Reluctantly, she slipped her hand under the sheet, over her stomach, her belly button, her—

She sat up abruptly “Oh, my God, I’m naked!” Her ht was a blur They’d booked a two-bedrooio because her family reunionwas there Two rooms, two beds Yet Drake was in her bed and she was naked “Oh no”

Drake had agreed to cos by herself, and she wasn’t particularly thrilled to face her family alone after her breakup with Derrick When she needed someone—and she did—Drake was always there He was her very best friend, since the age of two

Her night had taken a turn for the worse when she’d received a call froed her out onto the Strip to distract her That was all she remembered

She held her face in her hands, praying the shooting pain in her head would stop She reh her fingers at Drake, she sucked in a deep breath She couldn’t tell if he was naked He was lying on his stoht The sheet was draped low Gently, she lifted the thin material

“Drake!” she screeched, digging her nails into his back

He pushed himself up on his elbows “Ouch! What?”

“Get up,” she ordered through clenched teeth “Now”

He blinked and glanced at her with one eye “What happened?”

Pulling the sheet with her, she hopped out of the bed “Look at you,” she said, pointing at his bare ass “You’re naked! Oh, my God”

“Oh, shit” He rolled out of bed onto the floor with a loud thu up, he pulled the balled-up comforter with him He finally stood up with the thick cover wrapped around his waist

There was no hts

“Why are you naked?” Her heart raced as she watched his gaze drop to the bed

Drake ran a hand through his wavy hair “Why are you naked?”
