“Come here,” I murmured, holding my arm open. She didn’t hesitate to scoot over and cuddle into my side. “As hot as it makes me to hear you say you think I’m sexy, we both need our rest.”
Sighing, I kept her plastered to my body as I maneuvered us to lie down. I kissed the top of her head, then rested my cheek on her crown while my fingers toyed with her gorgeous hair. “Night, angel.”
She made a little humming sound and snuggled closer, making my dick jump in an attempt to get to her. I silently cursed, expecting to be up half the night with blue balls. However, the accident and very long day caught up to me, and it only took a few moments for me to pass out.

MARNIE
It took my brain a moment to click on when my eyes blinked open the next morning, but once it did, my lips curved into a huge grin. With Hayes wrapped around me, his arm flung over my waist and his thick thigh wedged between my legs, it was a great way to wake up. One I hoped to experience again and again.
When I saw Hayes crash his motorcycle, I had no idea it was going to change my life. But even though the past day had been full of surprises—and had put me in enough danger that Hayes insisted I stay at the clubhouse—I had no regrets over stopping to help him. Not only was it the right thing to do…it also landed me in bed with the sexy biker who’d brought my dormant libido roaring to life.
“Morning,” Hayes rasped, his arms tightening around me. “Sleep good?”
I nodded, cuddling my back deeper against his chest. “Yeah, better than I expected since I’m not used to having anyone else in bed with me.”
“You better not be,” he growled, brushing his lips against the top of my head. “But that’s gonna change now that you have me.”
“I like the sound of that,” I admitted softly.
“Fuck, angel,” he groaned. “I hate to be the one to say it, but we better get moving if we’re going to make it to the salon on time.”
“Wait a second.” Twisting around, I blinked up at him. “You were serious about that?”
“As a heart attack,” he confirmed with a nod, his blue eyes gleaming with determination. “Nobody is gonna hurt you on my watch.”
When he said stuff like that, it was difficult to remember that I was supposed to go into the salon instead of just convincing him we should spend the day in bed together. “But don’t you have other stuff you need to do? It’s going to be a long one since I need to be there from eight until five, with back-to-back appointments all day except for my lunch break.”
“I got nothing on my calendar that’s more important than you.” He winked and slid out of bed, holding his hand out to me. “Knew that dumping my hockey money into real estate was a good call, but now I have another reason to be grateful for it—plenty of free time to watch over you.”
“Okay, but you’re going to be bored,” I warned as I climbed off the mattress with his help.
He shook his head with a sexy smirk. “Not a chance in hell when I get to watch you all day.”
I found his confidence amusing because there was no chance he’d be happy sitting in an uncomfortable chair surrounded by gossiping women. But I wasn’t going to argue with him when I enjoyed having him around. Spending my workday with Hayes nearby wasn’t going to be a hardship for me like it was for him.
“Alrighty then.” I gestured toward the en suite bathroom. “You’re probably going to want to get ready first because it will take me a while to do my hair and makeup after my shower.”
His eyes heated as his gaze swept down the T-shirt he’d given me to wear to bed last night. “If I didn’t know damn well that it’d end up taking us a fuck of a lot longer, I’d say we should shower together. But there’s no chance I’d be able to keep my hands off your naked, wet body. Or my tongue.”
While my core clenched in response to the dirty picture he painted with his words, I gasped. Taking advantage of my parted lips, Hayes lowered his head to capture my mouth in a deep kiss that left me breathless. I didn’t come out of my sensual stupor until I heard the shower come on after he padded into the bathroom.
“Whoa,” I panted, using my hand to fan my face before I went into the closet to grab some clothes and my hair dryer.
Hayes got ready as quickly as I expected, and I took as long as I warned him. But he put that time to good use by getting me a travel mug of coffee and a bagel with cream cheese to enjoy while he drove my car to the salon.
