Bitter Black Kiss (31 page)

Nicole knew she probably didn’t want to hear them have sex in the next room. She almost giggled about that. Instead, she said, “Let’s meet for brunch tomorrow. Call me when you get up.”

“Deal,” Molly said then hugged her friend. “Love you, Nicky.”

Nicole grinned back at Molly who had been more of a sister to her than a friend. “Love you too, Red.”

Once she’d checked all the locks, she returned to Brody’s bedroom. He should be asleep by now. For a moment, she considered sleeping in the guest room so she wouldn’t disturb him.

“Coming to bed or not?” he asked.

She crawled into bed beside him then nestled her head against his shoulder. Once again, she wondered why she’d fought so hard against this. It felt so good, so right.

He dropped a kiss on top of her damp hair and sighed. “I could definitely get used to this.”
