The lazy yet sexy haze that draped over his eyes made her s to do that froht" He s to do that since the last time I ith you" He kissed her sweetly and softly, unlike the way he’d kissed her ht by the way" His words were so tender, and he looked so deeply in her eyes in a way she’d never seen hi you in your skirt suits" His playful grin teased "You’re insanely sexy" Just when she was beginning to exhale and res, he added with the same tenderness as before, "But still beautiful, Nellie, so beautiful"
He kissed her longer this ti on the sweetness of his kiss--enjoying every heavenly moment of it--but her mind was already fast at work So he said she was beautiful He was sood his whole life As young as he was, he’d still had plenty of years to perfect his lines and his delivery God, what a delivery! She’d nearly melted into him from that one compliment alone
Nellie knew she wasn’t beautiful She never had been Only just recently had she discovered she could even still be and feel attractive but beautiful? No And nothing had reiterated the reality that she was lacking in the way of looks h for her ex-husband The bastard had cheated on her fro deeper into Abel’s eo with it Why shouldn’t she? She’d take the compliment: this one and anyshe knew he couldn’t possibly be faking was that he was as turned on by her as she was by hi, for the first tiain--wanted He’d reawakened a part of her she thought her ex had destroyed for good She’d enjoy every unbelievable ive her, and when this was over, she’d walk away a better, stronger, wo from Nellie’s phone woke them both up Abel had actually woken up a few hours before when it had beeped a few ti He’d almost snuck out earlier while she slept soundly as he had all the other tiot caught up watching Nellie sleep He kne hehe re at her
Notthe double take she did when she realized he was still in bed with her, Abel s her reach for her phone The second she saw it, she sat up quickly
"Shit! Is that the right tihts will do that to you" He didn’t even try to hide the satisfaction that the very thoughthis hands behind his head in no hurry at all to get going, he s better than sticking around and going a few more rounds with Nellie "But it’s Saturday, so it’s okay to sleep in, right?"
Nellie’s phone rang again, and already she washer way off the bed "Yeah, but I was supposed toa robe fro the short barely-there thing around her She held her hand up to Abel, clicking the screen on her phone then bringing it to her ear before he could ask who she wasreally late, but can I meet you in like forty minutes?"
In direct contrast to how fast he felt his insides war froht be a little bothered to hear about her with soht? It was hu now
"Oh, The Country Kitchen sounds delish Their breakfasts are huge and I’ a bit of curiosity and soh her drawers This had to be business No as she juuy for breakfast Sure, they had an unspoken understanding, no fking demands and all that shit, but he’d been certain Nellie hadit up with another dude while he was still lying naked in her bed, listening to her?
The rest of her conversation with the guy was eveno on about who this Logan guy was
The choice of clothes she laid out on the bed as she continued with her call only made his insides warmer Instead of business attire like the suits that drove him nuts, she laid out a pair of jeans and a casual knit top As off-putting as the idea of her wearing a sexy skirt suit to go an at The Country Kitchen was, it would’ve at least , not a casual breakfast date with a guy
He’d gotten out of bed hie sandals fro up just as he’d finished pulling on his pants He stared at her as he buttoned his fly, doing his best to keep his cool If he blew up now, this whole thing could co that it inevitably had to end, but he didn’t know if he was ready to end this just yet
