Well, considering I told hiet a crick in the neck for his trouble "No He looks wiped And I’one ho "He er to see you again so soon"

I snorted "Do you really want to have this conversation about your brother?"

She thought about it and wrinkled her nose "You’re right Boo" She pouted "You date a guy and I can’t even have girly talks with you about it"

I laughed softly "If itkind of person And Braden and I aren’t dating We’re just fucking"

I was rewarded with a prudish pursing of her lips "Joss, that’s so unromantic"

I pulled the door open quietly and winked at her "But hot"

Leaving her to ot ready for bed I was out as soon asface of consciousness nuzzled against ht across my waist and the fact that I was unusually warm I realized the heat hat had awoken me If I was to take cue from the heaviness of my eyes, and their reluctance to open, it was too early for me to be awake and I should probably fall back asleep

But that heavy weight acrossinches from my face

Okay, what?

Wake up! My sleepy, sore eyes travelled up that chest to the face and reality slowly, but surely, sunk in Braden was inho him asleep on the couch I’d talked to Ellie, cleaned up in the bathrooht, Braden had crawled into bed with me

His large body hit the floor with a painful-sounding dull thud, and I leaned over to see his eyes fly open, bleary and confused as to why he was looking up at me from his sprawled position on the floor Did I mention he was completely naked? "Jesus Christ, Jocelyn," he complained, his voice hoarse from sleep "What the hell was that?"

I s you that this is just sex"

He pushed up onto his elbows looking sexy as hell with his ht you’d depositsweetly

Braden nodded slowly as if accepting I was in the right "Okay…" he sighed…

… and then I strangled a squeal of fright as he lunged upwards, his strong hands gripping ed me down onto the floor with him "Braden!" I yelled, as he rolled me onto my back And then he did his worst

He started to tickleas I tried to evade his attack "Stop it!"

His grin icked and deters and stillto pin me to the floor and tickleso hard and froet away from him

"Can I trust that I can lie next to you in the future without fearing stealth attacks while I’?" he asked loudly over the noise

"Yes!" I pro to hurt now

He stopped and I took a deep breath, relaxing into the floor beneath him I winced "This floor is hard"
