“I’m glad you’re here. You’re not the only one who hasn’t been sleeping. I like you in my bed and being in your arms,” she confesses with a slight blush to her cheeks.

“Can we still make out?”

Her eyes shimmer with amusement. “I think that can be arranged.”

“Maybe a little boob action?”

“Tyson,” she swats me on the stomach.

“What? I love your boobs. They’re spectacular.”

An uncertain smile tips her lips as she looks down her body. I hate that she’s unused to compliments, but I’m going to keep saying them until she believes me. Until she knows just how remarkable she really is inside and out.

“I don’t know about you, but I’m really hungry.”

She’s had enough for today, so I’ll let her change the subject, and Iamhungry.

“Whatever you want. If you want Chinese, we’ll do Chinese.”

“Friday is Chinese night.”

I scan over the menu and pick. “I’ll have the Hunan beef and the Dandan noodles.”

“You like it spicy huh? Cool. Why don’t you go pick us something to watch, and I’ll call it in?”

Heading into the living room, I turn on the TV to find something to watch although I have no idea what she likes. To save money, I don’t have cable, satellite, or internet at home. If I need internet, I hotspot or go to the library. I can’t remember the last time I watched a movie or TV show besides the other night with Sadie.

Sitting beside me, Sadie curls her legs to her side and hugs a pillow to her chest. “Didn’t find anything that piqued your interest?”

I can’t help but smile over at her. She’s so different away from the office. Tonight, she’s in yoga pants that showcase her pert ass and an oversized sweatshirt that hangs off one shoulder. At the office she wears sexy as hell skirts and blouses with high heels that have all the men in the company panting.

Sadie’s phone goes off and she’s quick to silence it with a swift look my way.

Shaking my head, I look back at the TV and answer. “I don’t really watch much so I have no idea. Whatever you want is fine.”

“Normally I put it on The Food Network and wish I could come up with the recipes they do. Even the kids are better than me.”

Taking the remote from me, Sadie pushes a couple of buttons and the weather is replaced with a bunch of cooks running all over the place franticly.

Again, her phone pings with a notification. Sadie looks at it with annoyance before shutting her phone off and throwing it on the table. What is she hiding?

Did she find someone else this week?

Had someone else been keeping her up all night?

Getting comfortable, Sadie snuggles up to me, resting her head on my shoulder. Instantly her body relaxes. Melting into mine. Right where she belongs.

“How did you sleep this week?” I ask, hoping that I’m right that she couldn’t sleep without me, and not that some other man was keeping her up by worshiping her body.

“Honestly?” she asks, sitting up to look at me. “Not good at all. My bed felt wrong, and I couldn’t get comfortable. It was actually quite annoying.”

Hearing her words, I do feel bad about her not being able to sleep. I can’t help feeling relieved it wasn’t because she was with someone else. But why is she acting so strange about her messages a minute ago? Wrapping my arms around her I pull her closer. “Is that the reason you asked me here tonight? So you can get some sleep?”

Shaking her head, she smiles sweetly up at me. “I like being with you, and I wantedyouto get some sleep. You looked like a zombie today when you walked into the restaurant.”

Leaning in, she kisses me tenderly. Not at all what I was expecting. I sweep my thumb over her cheek as her mouth slowly moves over mine. I’m letting her set the pace. I love the feel of her body pressed up against mine.

Her lips are pillowy soft as she brushes them back and forth. I can’t stop my moan when the tip of her tongue strokes over my bottom lip. I open, ready for her, and when our tongues start to dance together, I’m instantly hard for her. A hum starts to buzz through my body with each sweep of our tongues. I want to lay her down and ravish her, only to remember I can’t. This is going to be torture but what sweet torture it is. I can’t get enough of her.
