Fade Into Me

I woke up to the smell of coffee, pancakes, and bacon.

I smiled as I stretched.

"Morning," he said.

I turned to my side and looked up at him. "Morning," I said with a smile.

He was smiling back at me, looking so handsome and sexy.

"Like what you see?"

I nodded. "Very much," I said cheekily.

He chuckled. "Well come over here so you can have a closer look."

I giggled.

I got up and sauntered over to him.

He wrapped his arms around me before leaning down to kiss me.

"Wait," I said, stopping him.

"What?"

"I haven't brushed my teeth yet," I said sheepishly. I felt myself turning red.

"Red, I don't care," he said, and leaned down for a kiss again.

"But..." I tried to protest, but he silenced me with a searing kiss.

He pulled back and I feel my face heat up with embarrassment.

"Do you want coffee or orange juice?" He asked.

"Both... But wait. Where do you get all of this?" I asked.

"Jack," he said.

"He's here?" I asked in astonishment.

He nodded.

"Where did he spend the night?"

"A bed and breakfast nearby," he said. "He insisted on following me here," he said, rolling his eyes.

"His job is to protect you," I said.

"He likes you," he said.

I frowned. "Huh?"

"I mean, he approves of you, not that, that really matters, but he's protective of you too. When I found out you left, he pulled strings to help me try to find you," he said.

"How did you find me?" I asked.

"I asked Nate for help," he said. "He used the GPS on your phone to track you," he explained.

"That's creepy," I said in mock horror.

He just grinned. "Anything to find you..."

I shook my head at him.

"Feed me please. I'm hungry," I said, wanting to change the subject.

He smiled. "Two okay for you?" He asked pointing to the pancakes.

I nodded.

"Strawberry or maple?"

"Strawberry and whipped cream," I grinned.

"You are a woman after my own heart," he said dramatically.

I chuckled.

"Here you go, Red," he said.

"Thanks," I said. "I didn't even know you can cook," I said, as I took a first bite.
