after-sex munchies. I’m starving.” He grabbed two pairs of sweats and two T-shirts from his duffel, then
went back over to her. He knelt in front of the bed. “Sit up. I want to dress you, baby. Then we’ll go eat
and see what’s on that massive television my brother bought.”
“You want to eat?”
She sounded surprised, as if she’d expected him to make love to her again and was disappointed he
wasn't. She frowned as she sat up to let him dress her. Jeremy laughed and teased, “Don’t pout,

sweetheart. I worked up quite an appetite in that Jacuzzi and I need sustenance.” She blushed. Damn,
she looked hot when she did that. She looked hot when she did anything.
One piece at a time, Jeremy dressed Haley, then himself. At one point, Haley noticed they didn’t have
underwear and asked, “What about panties?”
“An unnecessary piece of material that has boggled the mind of many a man.” She laughed at him and
the sound was sweet music.
In between each article of clothing, he made sure to kiss and taste every inch of skin before covering it.
Her laughter died away, replaced by heated looks. By the time he was done, he’d worked them both

fun they had unclothed was not to be compared, but enjoying a woman’s company outside the bedroom

Although he wasn’t going to start getting ideas. This was an entertaining way to spend the weekend,
nothing more, nothing less. He wasn’t about to read more into it. He liked things uncomplicated and
getting emotionally involved with a woman who’d just gotten out of a bad marriage was definitely a
dumbass thing to do.
Of course, if he was so sure of his ability to keep his distance, then why was he spending so much time
thinking of the two of them as a couple? Why did the very idea of her with another man make his fists
