clench? Jesus, how could a guy go his whole life, happily single and free of entanglements, wish overnight
for something more, something solid?
“Jay? Is something wrong?”
Haley’s question made him realize he was frowning and staring at her. They’d reached the kitchen and
she’d mentioned wanting hot chocolate. He’d gotten derailed with thoughts of commitment and crap.
Jeremy shook his head and gave her an easy smile. “Nothing’s wrong.” He reached for her, pulled her

floor. Screw the bed. Screw the hot chocolate. Jeremy pushed a hand through his unruly hair and
searched for the hot chocolate. The sooner he had her stomach satisfied, the sooner he’d move on to
satisfying the rest of her body.
Haley grinned from ear to ear. First, the big, sexy man cooked dinner for her, then he gave her not one
