The other eye popped open. ”What’s the matter babe?” Her voice was thick and raspy and her smile grew as that familiar sparkle took form in her eyes. Even this early she was full of fire and it was sexy as hell.

”Bo,” I whined. ”I really have to use the bathroom. Please help? Its too early for puzzles.” My hand fell limp to the bed.

She laughed and positioned her body to face me, freezing for a moment to get her bearings. ”Shit, guess we both had too much to drink.” She pecked me on the lips, then pulled back just a wisp. ”I’ll untie you as long as you come right back. I want to snuggle.”

”Deal, but hurry or we’ll be snuggling in a puddle.”

”Thanks for the image.” With a simple pull she undid the scarf, smirking as I frowned at the ease of it all. ”You are free. Now fly little birdie and come right back to me.”

”Thank you,” I mumbled as I hurried form bed. ”By the way,” I threw back over my shoulder, ”Its way too early for all that chipper.”

”Noted. Now go.” She shooed me away with the flick of her wrist.

A few minutes later I returned with two glasses of water, which I insisted we drink before snuggling. Bo rolled her eyes, but thanked me right before she yanked me back into bed so she could play big spoon.

At two-thirty we finally crawled out of bed. We showered and slipped into the plush hotel robes that were provided. Room service delivered waffles, strawberries, bacon and coffee and without much chit chat, the two of us plopped down across from one another and dug in. Like wild animals we tore through the food only coming up for air long enough to flash the other a smile or cast a glance out the window that overlooked the city.

Bo’s phone chirped. After a quick look, she shook her head and took another sip of coffee. ”Its my sister. That’s usually a bad sign.”

”Do you think its about last night?”

”Probably. Should’ve gotten some whiskey for this coffee.” She lifted the phone, pausing in mid-air before lowering it back down, then reconsidered. ”Let’s just get it over with.” Her lips pursed tightly as she clicked open the message.
