Chapter 424

• “Baby, no!” Jake’s disappointed voice breaks into my sleepy state. “I had plans for you.” His voice is husky and thick, but I’m too tired to open my eyes.
• “I’m exhausted,” I sigh, enjoying his hands on my face and his body's heavy weight on top of me. He smells good, a little too good.
• “You’re such a lightweight, Bambina. I’m going to have to build your stamina up.” He kisses me on the forehead and rolls off me. “I’m going down to the gym with Daniel to expel some excess tension, seeing as you’re out of order. We’ll talk tomorrow about Leila, okay?” he murmurs, a finger stroking my cheek. He’s watching me with appreciation as I attempt to open one eye and focus on his gorgeous face inches above me. “We’ll be an hour or two. He’s spending the night. Sleep, Bambina.” He leans down, kisses me on the mouth again, and leaves me to get the first decent night’s sleep since I was pulled into his arms on that dance floor.
