Chapter 163: A Time Like This?
** Harper **
Harper hadn’t planned for the morning to go this way ... Or at least, she hadn’t planned so with any premeditive intentions. But when Eli crushed his lips onto hers like that, stealing her breath in the most scrumptious way possible, she could only feel proud of her achievement.
He tasted so much better than those pancakes. Fresh and crisp, with only a faint hint of that burnt experiment he insisted on trying earlier. A small moan slipped free from her lips as the kiss deepened, and when he pushed their lower bodies closer together, swiveling his hips to grind into her ...
"Are we ... going to replay that wakeup scene right here?" she breathed the muffled words into his mouth. "I sure hope you have enough underwear left to go through all this."
The reminder elicited a loud groan from him. Harper chuckled, but then she felt him ... get even harder. "Fortunately that is not an issue," he replied, not slowing down his movement below, "because I’m not wearing any."
Oh.
Ohh.
A pulse of warmth shot through her core, and Harper wondered if it was from the grinding or the realization that nothing separated their bodies except the very accessible bathrobes. Because—
"I’m not wearing any either," she revealed before she could think twice about the potential consequence of that revelation. "I was planning to wait until I shower to put on clean ones."
