I lifted the comforter and noted that I was still naked. Not surprising, seeing as we’d had sex three times.
Three times.
In one night.
Definitely a first for me.
But the more surprising part was that the thin black ribbon that had been tied around the chignon at the nape of my neck was currently tied around my hips with a little bow, like it was a present.
I chuckled just as Archer came strolling into the room with two cups of coffee.
“Good morning, beautiful.” He smiled as he set one mug on the nightstand on my side of the bed, then moved to the other side of the bed and slid in beside me.
“Good morning. Why is there a bow tied around my hips?”
“Because your pussy is magnificent, and clearly it’s your other superpower, so it should be rewarded with a bow.” He smirked.
I sat up, taking the blanket with me and tucking it beneath my arms to keep it in place.
“You’re ridiculous,” I chuckled. “But my body is on a high, so I’m in no position to complain.”
“Good. That was the plan.” He winked as I reached for my mug and took a sip.
“Yep. It’s good to know that the sex I’ve been writing about in the pages of my books really does exist. This was actually the best kind of research.”
Who knew?
Certainly not me.
He glanced over at me, a sexy grin spread across his handsome face. “Good to know. But it’s not always like that.”
“So I’m not the only one who hasn’t had good sex?”
“I’ve had plenty of good sex, but it didn’t compare to what that was last night. That was—different.” His tongue swiped along his bottom lip as his gaze locked with mine.
“Different in a good way, right?” I set my mug down and turned to face him.
He tugged the blanket from my hand, and it pooled around my waist. He set his mug on the nightstand beside him.
“Don’t hide yourself. Not from me. I’ve spent months wondering what was beneath your clothing, and it’s even better than what I imagined.” He traced his fingers over my breasts, moving from one to the other, as shivers ran down my arms.
This man touched me in a way that I’d never been touched.
Made me feel things that I’d never felt.
“Fine. Answer the question.”
“I’ve never had sex like that with anyone, Winnie. It was fucking fantastic.”
“What was different?” I pressed, because I loved how open we were with one another.
He tugged me close to him and wrapped his arms around me as his fingers traced along the bow he’d tied around me.
“For me, I think it has a lot to do with our connection. I don’t know. Ever since Melody was born, I’ve kept my relationships very casual. I’ve been open with the women I’ve been with, and it’s not like I’m out there hooking up with women every weekend. I don’t get out that often.” He chuckled. “So it’s been good, but nothing like last night.”
“So your last serious relationship was with Scarlet?”
“Correct.”
