All night.
Only a wall separating her from me.
I shouldn’t be so invested in this new piece of information, but it was all I could do not to picture the scenario in my head. Soft skin, painted by the sun’s early morning rays. Ruffled sheets. Warm hands as they dragged over my naked chest, all the way down to?—
Nope. Where did that come from?
Obviously, I knew Macey was attractive. ThatIwas attracted to her. Studious, deep eyes that challenged me. The way she always smelled like coconut. An ass for days.
Lust, attraction—that was all familiar stuff. But I had no frame of reference for the tender ache in the pit of my stomach.
“Noah!” Macey sighed, helping to clean up the mess. “Don’t ruin the other drinks.”
A few minutes later, we thumbed through the brochures on the table as we ate our breakfast. Macey had decided she was comfortable sitting across from me in nothing but the aforementioned robe, and she was currently pouring an obscene amount of syrup and strawberry preserves onto her French toast.
“Do you want any bread with that sugar?” I asked, halfway through my omelet.
She showed me the spears of her fork. “What’s the point of French toast if you don’t douse it in toppings?”
“To enjoy the toast itself,” I said dryly.
“Not everyone likes to eat egg whites and lean protein all the time, Noah.”
Macey was going on and on about the ranking of different French toast toppings, but it turned into white noise as I finally pulled out the itinerary from its place underneath a bundle of ads.
