She grinned. “So do I.”
She resumed her previous position and pushed her ass into me.
“Oh, someone’s not ready to go to sleep,” she said.
“No shit.” My cock wasn’t getting the memo.
But the next second, her breathing was completely even.
I stopped touching her and leaned over. Yeah, she was already asleep. I couldn’t help but smile, working hard to bite down my laughter. I’d worn her out.
I brought my pillow close to hers, mirroring her position. Even though I didn’t want to wake her up, I still felt the need to be close to her, so I put a hand on her stomach and shifted so there was little space between my chest and her back. She sighedsoftly in her sleep, putting her hand over mine and moving it farther up, nestling it between her breasts.
Hell yes!
I could die a happy man right now with her ass against my crotch and my hand between her breasts.
CHAPTER 16
PHOEBE
I yawned,hugging a pillow under my head, and then smiled even though I was still half asleep. The sound of water lapping onto the shore filled the room. The air smelled salty too. I heard footsteps and opened my eyes to see Griffin was already dressed.
“Sorry, I didn’t want to wake you up,” he said.
His morning voice was unexpectedly sexy.
“That’s fine.” I tilted my head. “And come to think of it, I wouldn’t have minded if you’d woken me a few minutes earlier.” I wiggled my eyebrows. “Such as when you were getting dressed.”
He started to laugh. “You’re funny this morning.”
“The humorous side of my brain is the first one to come to life.”
He came to my side of the bed, kissing my forehead.
“You look surprisingly fit.”
“I went for a run,” he said.
I blinked. “Wait, what? Today?”
He nodded. “Yeah. I did a good time too. Five miles. I beat my own record by twenty seconds.”
“Last night gave you a good burst of energy, huh?”
He laughed. “You could say that. I even took a shower and didn’t wake you. I’m going downstairs to get a coffee. I didn’t have one before my run.”
“All right,” I said. “I’m going to need some time in the bathroom.”
“Don’t worry.”
After he left, I was tempted to go back to sleep because this mattress was utter perfection. When I moved into my house, I’d bought the cheapest mattress at Home Depot. Let’s just say it was cheap for a reason. I was pretty sure it had given me a permanent neck strain. But this had some sort of gel or something. It was amazing. But I knew if I put my head back down, I’d probably fall asleep again, so instead, I headed to the shower.
As the water poured over me, last night’s memories became more vivid. My skin started to simmer just thinking about every delicious thing Griffin had done to me. I stepped out quickly and put on yet another beach dress before hurrying downstairs. I didn’t want to make anyone wait too long to eat breakfast.
When I reached the lower floor, there was no one around. Then I realized they were already outside. They’d set the table, but they were all standing, pointing at something in the water.
Crap, crap, crap.I’d made them wait.
