He gently pulled out, grabbed a paper towel, and wet it. “I’m sorry I lost control like that.” He gently ran it between my legs before he cleaned himself off.
Turning, I leaned against the counter and tried to get my breathing back under control. “I think I like it when you lose control.”
Nate laughed as he shook his head. “You’re going to kill me, Haven. Do you know that? I told myself I was going to leave you alone today since you have to be sore, but seeing you in my shirt. I lost all self-control.”
Smiling, I replied, “Not if you kill me first. I’ve never had such intense orgasms like that. Well, at least not from a man.”
His brows raised, his interest piqued. “Do you have toys you use on yourself, Haven?”
I could feel my cheeks turn hot. “Sometimes.”
Groaning, he closed his eyes.
“Do you want scrambled eggs?” I asked out of the blue.
When Nate peeked one eye open at me, I laughed.
Smiling, he pulled me to him and kissed me like he was afraid I would disappear before his eyes. Once he had thoroughly kissed me, he stepped back. “Go take a hot bath and I’ll make us breakfast.”
“Are you sure?”
“I’m sure. I’ve got to make a few phone calls, so I’ll make some more bacon and put the eggs on in a bit.”
Reaching up, I kissed him on the lips. “I’ll be quick!”
I practically skipped back into my bathroom, wearing Nathan’s shirt and a smile so wide nothing could wipe it from my face.
Chapter Ten
NATHAN
Haven must have decided to take a shower instead of a bath. Once I heard the shower turn on, I quickly returned to Haven’s bedroom and grabbed my phone. I pulled up Josh’s name and hit call as I returned to the kitchen to pick up where Haven had left off with the bacon.
“Hey, where are you?” Josh asked as I heard what I thought was Blayze and Hunter in the background.
“I’m not going to be coming in today.”
He laughed. “Too much to drink last night at The Blue Moose?”
Hearing Hunter make a wisecrack in the background made me roll my eyes. “No, that’s not it at all. I’m at Haven’s apartment.”
The line went silent.
“Josh?”
“I’m still here, just trying to figure out what to ask next. I guess the main one is…why are you at Haven’s apartment?”
I quickly paused to hear the shower still going and put more bacon on. “I stayed here last night.”
Josh choked on something. “As in, you stayed…stayed?”
“I don’t know what that means, Josh.”
I heard a door softly shut. “It means, did you finally come to your senses?”
Smiling, I replied, “I did.”
Josh let out a whistle. “So? Did you guys…you know?”
“Jesus, Josh, we’re not eight. Yes, we made love. Twice, and my fucking mind is blown. I’m not sure how I’m feeling right now.”
Josh let out a roar of laughter. “You can just take my thousand dollars and donate it to the dog park if you please.”
I rolled my eyes once again. “Funny. Josh, I’m being serious. What I experienced with Haven…I’ve never felt that way before, and I’m not going to lie…I’m freaking out a bit.”
“Take a deep breath, Nate. What are you doing now?”
Looking at the open bacon, I pulled some of it out and placed it in the pan. “Making her breakfast.”
“Uncle Tanner would be so proud of you.”
Sighing, I said, “Josh, stop dicking around. I’m being serious. What do I do now?”
Hearing a chair slide against the floor, I imagined Josh was taking a seat. “What does your heart tell you to do, Nate?”
I pulled the phone out, stared at it, then put it back against my ear. “My heart? What the fuck kind of question is that, Josh? Do I come to work? Do I ask if she wants to have dinner tonight? Should I spend the day with her? I have never done this before.”
“First of all, you’re overthinking all of this, Nate. Calm the hell down. Ask yourself one question. Do you want to leave, or do you want to spend the day with her?”
“I have to come to work, and she’s got to do her dog walking thing today. She doesn’t normally do Sunday, but since it’s a holiday week, she offered her clients Sunday morning.”
He let out a soft chuckle. “You don’t have to come to work; it’s Sunday. If it were me, I’d spend the day with her. See what she does and why she is so passionate about it.”
“Go dog walking with her?”
“That’s just a small part of her day. Listen, you have the luxury of taking a day off, so do it. Spend it with her.”
I used the tongs to flip the bacon.
“Do you think she’ll want me to spend the day with her?”
“Yes, I do, Nate. And I’m glad you stayed this morning and didn’t bolt.”
