Prologue
“Wake up, sleepyhead” Ethan rolls over on top of me and kisses my cheeks and lips and forehead
I smile sleepily, stretch a little “You’re the one who talkedhooky today I don’t have to wake up”
“No I called Maryanne and told her I needed you for a very important project in the CEO’s office today,” he corrects me as he slips inside me
I arch against hiood he feels “Is that what you call this? An important project?”
“The most important”
Our loveht’s ild, as lazy as last night’s was frantic And I love every second of it Then again, I love everything Ethan does to me I always have I alill
And while a part ofwork today, I know that Ethan and I need this ti that happened yesterday, I’m not ready to be separated from him I can tell by the look in his eyes and the possessive way he touches me that he feels the same way
Hein and out of me in an easy rhyth between us Sweat breaks out on our bodies, tension builds, and it isn’t long before we’re falling over the edge of the world together Just like it’s meant to be
Ethan cuddlesminutes, his body curved protectively around mine as he plays with my out-of-control curls and presses soft kisses to my shoulder and back At first I’m a little nervous about this position— that happened last night in just this position, it seems crazy to worry about it now
So I do o Oh, I know I’ll never be normal, know that there will always be a part of me that Brandon has a hold on no matter how much I wish it weren’t so But for now, for today, I want to concentrate on Ethan and everything that’s going right in my life—in our lives—for once
Eventually his stoh “Shower, then breakfast?” he asks, reaching a hand down to help me up
But I’ lazy and sated and I don’t want to move Not quite yet The ser here for a few ether
“You go first,” I tell hiet up”
He sht, then I’ll shower, then make you breakfast in bed How does that sound?”
“Are you going to be in the bed with me?”
He arches one of his brows in that way he has that ed”
“Then I say it sounds very good”
He bends down and gives me a quick kiss that becoru, too Ethan pulls away instantly “I’ll take a quick shower and then feed you While I’m in there, decide what you want me to make”
But he’s only been in the shower a few et derailed The doorbell rings, and while at first I ignore it—this isn’t et soisters that whoever it is obviously has the code to Ethan’s gate, I reach for his robe and wrap it around
