I sniff the woman’s hair. She smells warm like vanilla. I hug her and burrow my nose in her neck. “You smell good.” My voice is gruff from sleep.

She sighs and snuggles closer. “Thanks. You too. I like your cologne.”

I smile, about to drift off again, but something niggles at the back of my mind.

I’m not supposed to be doing this. I’m not supposed to want her. And I’m definitely not supposed to touch her even though my dick is ready and willing.

No sex, Jace. Especially not with her.

When it hits me a second later that I’m snuggling my wife, my eyes fly open just as Rory leaps backward, nearly falling on her ass. “Oh my God. I’m so sorry. I’m clearly on your side of the bed.”

The expression on her face makes me laugh. “I’m irresistible. It really isn’t your fault.” I tuck my arms behind my head, pleased she likes my cologne.

“Jace,” she hisses. “I basically mauled you in your sleep.”

I shrug. Her reaction makes me want it more for some reason. “You have my permission to snuggle all you want.” I don’t want to think about how that’s a bad idea. Rhett would call me a dumbass, and I’d have to agree. But it’s been so long since I’ve been with a woman, I think I’m having withdrawals. Besides, can it really hurt to snuggle?

I love books! I have been reading for as long as I can remember. I was the kid with the flashlight under the covers reading until the wee hours. Books were my refuge. I was delighted to discover tree climbing. I would take a book and climb to the top of a Mimosa tree and read for hours...and of course ignore my mother calling for me to do chores. I was committed to reading all of the Nancy Drew stories. Ned was my first book boyfriend. When I was in my early teens I discovered Harlequin romances. I feel in love and it changed my life. I was in love with Love 💕 That’s something for a girl who hadn’t been kissed yet. When I read “he thrust his throbbing member into her womanhood” I was lost to discovering more about this particular brand of romance. But I don’t just enjoy romance reads. My father-in-law introduced me to the high fantasy genre and I loved it. When I bought my first Nook the world of books really took me by surprise. I was enthralled with all the available genres and to my delight I discovered erotica. In most cases, I was with family on visits to bookstores and you don’t peruse those even if they carried them. Oh the shame of it! ;) Thanks to Nancy Drew I still enjoy mysteries along with romance, fantasy, erotica, paranormal, steampunk, thrillers, and well, most anything except a horror of a horror. My favorite might be romance suspense but it’s hard for me to pick just one. I had a serious health issue a few years ago and was forced to quite working after building a career I could be proud of. It was devastating and depressing. I lost myself in books and now spend my days (and nights) reading. I am so appreciative of authors and the wonderful storytelling I’ve found in books. It takes me away from my troubles and introduces me into a world like no other. I love books!
