“I did sleep well. Thank you.”
He grinned. “Are you thanking me for letting you sleep, or for last night?”
“Wow, you are really feeling proud of yourself this morning, aren’t you?”
“Let’s just say, I could get used to this.”
I took a bite of eggs and moaned in pleasure. It had been a long time since Thomas was up before me to make breakfast.
“I could really get used to this every morning,” I confessed.
I still couldn’t believe he’d gotten the baby down and then fed her and put her back down and then fed her again, got her dressed and ready for the day, and made breakfast without disturbing me.
I frowned. “Did you drug me last night or something?”
He barked a laugh. “Not unless you were just high on me?”
I shook my head. “You are cocky today.”
Normally that would have goaded him on even more, but he surprised me by changing topics entirely.
“What do you have going on today, Slugger?”
I shrugged as I shoveled some more breakfast into my mouth.
“I think I will be in town assisting with decorations. I also need to decide what we’re doing about a town tree. That’s not something normally done here and we’re having the tree lighting this weekend. I think I need to print out some flyers to hang around town for that.”
He grinned. “Or you could just post the pack page online. Everyone will see that.”
I pursed my lips. That wasn’t entirely the point. “I’ll do that, too,” I conceded, because I knew he was right.
There was a knock at the door. Thomas went to answer it.
I could hear Sydney.
“Yeah, just give her a minute,” Thomas said.
He walked back into the kitchen. “Syd’s here.”
“I heard. Why didn’t you send her back?”
“Uh, you don’t want to put clothes on first?”
I looked down. I had completely forgotten I was still naked. It just felt so natural.
I groaned. “Why didn’t you mention that earlier?”
“Like I’m ever going to turn down a chance to stare at your beautiful body. Best morning I’ve had in a long time.”
I rolled my eyes.
Cammie had fallen asleep but hadn’t let go of me yet. I carefully detached her and then carefully handed her to Thomas.
“Just a minute. I just have to get dressed,” I yelled as I streaked through the living room where Sydney stood there in shock.
“She’s naked,” I heard her say.
“Oh yeah,” Thomas said. I could hear the smile in his voice.
