"You haven’t eaten your breakfast yet"

When he saw that she was going to try to argue and convince hiain, he very reluctantly lifted her off his lap

"I can see there’s only way toher on her seat, he yanked his pants back up, then turned her around so that she was sitting naked on his lap He slid her plate over, forking up a bite of pancake "Open up, princess"

She shot him a surprised look over her shoulder, but when he slid his arrowled, "Eat," she let him feed her the pancake

After a few more bites, she said, "I’ve never eaten breakfast naked before" She shot hirin "I like it"

He realized he hadn’t called her Nice in days, hadn’t even thought of her nickname It still fit her in some ways, but in others

"Me too"

She all but purred in his lap and he knew if he didn’t do so soon to take their minds off of sex, he’d have her up on the kitchen counter in under thirty, her legs wrapped around his hips again as he drove into her

Sure, her doctor had said that sex was fine But there was no way the wo about

"Tell me when you decided to become a librarian" She see on his lap as he rubbed his hand down her arm "I remember you always had your nose in a book"

"I’ve always loved books," she said softly "I love being around the lost in a story, a world I love that I can become anyone, that I can live any fantasy"

The word fantasy should have filled the rooain, but Jake had just realized what an idiot he was, just like she’d said the day before He should have asked her anything else--about her family, or hobbies, or favorite food Not books

When she was in his arot the differences between theh school diplo him

Of course he wanted to know more about her He couldn’t spend thisabout her love of books only served to reap between them

"I can’t believe I’ve never asked you what your favorite book is" She grinned at him "I’ve asked pretty much everyone I’ve ever et ready for work soon, don’t you?"
