“And egg flower soup.”
“I’m gonna hang up now before you order the whole restaurant.”
“Okay.” I smiled. “Oh, wait. Crab puffs.”
“Okay, Razz, I’ll get crab puffs.”
“I thought you were hanging up.”
“Doing that right now.”
“See you soon,” I said, and dropped my phone beside me on the bed.
I felt my shoes being removed and lifted my head with a groan.
“Sorry, Razz, didn’t mean to wake you,” Orion whispered.
“Wake me?” I rolled over and looked up at him.
“You were dead to the world when I got here.”
I scrubbed my knuckles over my eyes to wipe the sand out. “When did you get here?”
“Couple of hours ago,” he said. “Sierra let me in.”
I sat up. “Did she eat all the food?”
Orion chuckled. “No, baby. She had to head to work.”
My stomach rumbled. “Good. I’m starving.”
“You finish waking up and I’ll heat the food.”
“Okay, thanks,” I said, and took some time to put a little makeup on and brush out my hair. I also changed into something that wasn’t what I wore yesterday.
Rushing downstairs, but stopping at the bottom step to take a few deep breaths and try not to look super eager to see the god that was Adam ‘Orion’ Graves, I smoothed my hands over my stomach and strolled into the kitchen.
I’d barely gotten across the threshold when my body was hauled against his and my mouth was kissed so thoroughly, I debated whether to skip dinner and eat him first. My stomach rumbled, making my choice for me.
“Hi,” I breathed out.
“Hey,” he said, grinning. “You look beautiful.”
“Sleepy’s your thing?”
“Everything ‘you’ is my thing.”
I blushed. “I take it Denver went well?”
“It was a fucking waste of time, actually,” he said, releasing me and setting a glass of wine and a plate piled high with food on the island.
I slid into a stool and frowned. “Is that why you’re back early?”
“Partly.” He leaned against the counter across from me and twisted off the top of a beer. “I didn’t really need to be there, but Dad’s kind of a control freak, so I had to play his game.”
“You and your dad seem close. Is that not the case?”
He sighed. “It’s complicated.”
