Jason looked around the room, noting that there were only two beds and a small chair by the window and shrugged. He yanked off his shirt, pants, and shoes and began to climb into bed with Haley.
Her hand came up in a stopping motion. “Hold up there, buddy,” she said, turning over to face him. She pointed to the other bed. “Have a good night.”
Jason frowned at the suggestion. “You can’t expect us to sleep together.”
“Yup.”
“Nope,” Jason said, climbing the rest of the way onto the bed quickly and flopping onto his stomach. She pushed him, well, tried to anyway. He did outweigh her, after all.
“Out.”
“No.”
“You’re not sleeping in the same bed as me.”
“Yes, I am. Unless you’re planning on sleeping with Brad and I don’t think you want to do that. His wife will kick your ass.”
She groaned.
He smiled.
“Look, I’ll stay on my side and you stay on your side. We’ll both sleep. Problem solved.”
“No way.”
“Afraid that you won’t be able to keep your hands off of me?” he teased.
Haley rolled her eyes and dropped her head back on the pillow. “Fine, but just so you know, anything that comes over this way will be chopped off.”
“Duly noted,” he said, snuggling under the covers.
“Oh, and if you snore, I’ll kill you in your sleep,” she mumbled.
“Ditto.”
“Ah, guys?” Brad said.
Haley buried her face deeper into the warmth while she tried to block out Brad and the sunlight streaming into the room.
“Go. Away,” she muttered.
“I’m hungry. Let’s go grab some breakfast,” Brad said a little louder this time, earning a groan from her cushion of warmth.
“Fuck off. We’re sleeping,” Jason mumbled as he pulled Haley closer. Surprisingly she went willingly. Her head rested on his chest just under his chin, her arm laid across his stomach, and one leg was thrown over one of his.
She felt so good in his arms. He’d never held a woman like this, never cuddled with one, never mind, spent the entire night in her bed. Normally, when a woman tried to cuddle, he felt cornered. With Haley, he felt comfortable, relaxed, and even happy. She felt like she belonged with him. He wasn’t about to look too far into that at the moment.
“If you weren’t the best mattress ever, I would totally kick your ass for moving onto my side,” Haley mumbled against his chest.
“Actually, you’re both in the middle,” Brad pointed out.
“Why is he still here? Sleepy,” Haley grumbled adorably.
Closing his eyes, he waved his hand towards the door. “Go eat with Mitch or something. We’ll be up in a little while.”
Brad sighed unhappily. “Fine.”
A moment later, the door was closed and they both drifted back into a beautiful deep sleep.
