Taming the Heart (Crimson Ridge #3)

by Elliott Rose

“Not getting up bright and early to go put on a pornographic showcase in the workout room?” Her voice is raspy with sleep, and heat surges low in my stomach. I roll in her direction and settle myself to cover her soft body with my own. Bracing myself on my elbows, I push her silky hair back off her forehead and let my gaze roam all over those stunningly beautiful features of hers. Rueing with each heavenly stroke that I’m not going to be able to trace her warm skin with my fingertips like this tonight or tomorrow or however long it’ll be. Until the second our time comes back around, and I can prove to her just how good we are together. “You say I need to come with a warning… but I’m telling you, that weight lifting routine of yours is a hazard. Definitely put a lock on the door if you’re gonna be out here flexing these abs when you’ve got guests staying in the future.” She grins sleepily at me while poking the side of my stomach, and fuck my life, there’s no doubt that I’m already lost to her. “Can you blame me? I’ve got to watch your ass running around in skin-tight shorts. A man’s gotta find some way to get rid of that frustration.” I meet her soft smile with a smirk of my own. “Just give me your credit card and ten minutes online. I can find you some handy toys to help with that.”
