So, I didn't acknowledge the possessiveness, and went back to my book.

It was around dinnertime when Carmen finally peeled her face off my chest. We were both slick with her sweat, but I sure as fuck wouldn't complain about it.

She'd been moving for a while, trying to wake herself up, but she was already burning up. Her face was flushed, and her forehead was damp.

"Hey," I said, when she met my eyes.

The look in hers was a little dazed. "What happened?"

"We had burgers and fries. You fell asleep on the way back."

She blinked. "Right."

I slipped my fingers into her hair, combing the short strands away from the place they were glued to her forehead. "How are you feeling?"

"Hot."

I nodded.

"Hungry, too." She lowered her face back to my chest.

Heat seemed to be hitting her pretty hard. I'd attended the mating prep classes for a long time, and as far as I could remember, she shouldn't have been quite as under the weather as she was.

She might've started warming up earlier than we realized.

I slipped my hand deeper into her hair, cupping her head. She closed her eyes again.

"I'll take care of it."

I picked up my phone. It vibrated in my hand as I did.

Yo yo yo! We're ordering dinner. You guys hungry?

Me

Good timing

We are

Jude

Requests?

Me

Something fried, and chocolate cake of some kind

Jude

We're here for that

ETA 45 min, but I can go pick it up if Yorkie’s starving

She'd already wrestled her eyelids back open, so I asked her.

"Can you wait forty-five minutes for food?"
