CHAPTERTWELVE
“Ireally need to wake up like that regularly,” Hallie joked. She had what she feared might be a permanent smile plastered across her face. How could she not? With the most amazing sex the night before and again first thing in the morning. Sweet fuck! For the second time in a row, her body was finally and blissfully satisfied.
“Thank you,” she said as soon as she caught her breath.
“You’re welcome, but you really don’t have to thank me. It was my pleasure too, love. I definitely had an ulterior motive.” Rev smirked.
“Oh, I’m sure you did, but still. When someone does that good of a job, you should definitely thank them. And once again, you rocked my damn world, so …”
Hallie couldn’t believe how things had turned out. After nearly giving up on even trying to run into him, he was the one who ended up saving her when the narrows had washed out. Despite the storm and getting her Jeep stuck and nearly drowning, Hallie couldn’t help but feel like it had been her lucky day.
Not only was Rev far hotter than she thought, but they had also hit it off swimmingly. Being with him felt completely natural, whether it was having dinner, playing games, or all the naughty things they had done in bed. She had never once felt awkward or strange around him. What they had came naturally. There was no weirdness like she had felt with so many other guys. She felt completely at ease with Rev.
“Are you hungry?” he asked.
“I am. What do you have in mind?”
“I don’t want to brag, but I make a hell of an omelet.” Rev stood and pulled on a pair of boxer briefs, giving Hallie one last glimpse at that perfect ass of his. It was even better checking it out up close than it was from a distance.
“Sounds yummy! Omelets it is then.”
“Why don’t you get cleaned up and meet me in the kitchen? I’ll get things started.”
“Perfect. I’ll just be a few minutes.” Hallie was thankful for a chance to gather her thoughts and grab a quick shower in between booms of thunder and lightning streaking across the sky.
She hopped out of bed and gathered her borrowed clothes. Cranking the shower up to high and letting the water warm up, she quickly used the bathroom and then dashed under the warm spray. The heat from the water danced over her skin, sinking into her well-used muscles and making her feel a bit more human again.
She grabbed a bottle of two-in-one strawberry shampoo and conditioner and set to scrubbing every part of her body before the next boom of thunder. She had an unnatural fear of showering or bathing during storms. She blamed her phobia firmly on her mother, who had convinced her she’d get electrocuted if lightning were to hit the house while she was under the water.
The instant she rinsed all the soap and shampoo off of her, she hopped out of the shower and dried off, breathing easily for the first time in five minutes. “I’m such a moron,” she said to herself because she still believed that silly superstition.
She quickly toweled off and threw on her borrowed clothes. She grabbed her brush from her purse and ran it through her hair before twisting it in a weird updo and clipping it with a hair claw.
The smell of freshly cooked bacon filtered through the house to her nose, making her stomach growl. She followed the scent to see the sexiest thing she had ever seen in her life. Rev was dancing around the kitchen in nothing more than his boxer briefs while making bacon and omelets.
Hallie leaned against the door frame, not wanting to disrupt the vibes he had going on. It also gave her a moment to truly appreciate every lean plane and hard muscle on his body and how each one flexed with every move he made. He was literally the most beautiful man she had ever been with. Not only did he turn her on every time she looked at him, the mere thought of how he made her body purr like no other had her ready to go again.
It was almost as if he sensed her arousal. He turned to face her, his nostrils flaring. She knew that look all too well. It was a look that said he wanted her beneath him and his cock buried deep in her.
“You’re lucky I’m in the middle of cooking breakfast, love. Or I’d toss that fine ass up on the island and eat your pussy right this second.”
“I’m not sure how that’s lucky on my part.” She smirked, loving the idea of him tossing her up on the kitchen island and having his way with her, especially if it meant another round of orgasms for her. “I actually find it hard to believe that you could be ready for another round. Don’t you guys require a bit of, um … downtime before … you know?” she asked.
“Trust me, love. I’m not most guys. Come here. Let me show you something,” he said, motioning for her to come closer.
“What?” she asked as she padded across the room to him.
He grabbed her hand. “Feel this.” He ran her hand down his stomach and over his rock-hard length.
“Wow. I guess you’re not like other guys,” she said with an arched eyebrow.
“All I have to do is look at you, and I swear, my cock is ready to go. I’m not complaining or anything, but I just can’t seem to get enough of you. So, be careful, love. You don’t wanna tease too much, or I may just pounce on you.”
“Just like a kitty?” She laughed.
“Something like that,” he said, flipping an omelet onto a plate and placing a few pieces of bacon beside it. “Breakfast is served.” He handed her a plate and finished filling his own.
The toast popped up, and he pulled four slices from the machine and handed her two. “Do you want orange juice or coffee?”
