peak of pleasure again until her muscles convulsed in another earth-shattering climax.
    Somewhere in the wee hours of the morning, they collapsed against each other in exhaustion. Snuggled up together, his arms wrapped around her, one of her thighs lying across his own, her hand tucked round his side to hold him close.
    I love that woman.
     
     

Chapter 15
    Late the next morning, Samantha woke up, cuddled up against Grant much in the same position as she’d fallen asleep the night before. She turned her head and then smiled at how handsome he looked, even early in the morning with a scruffy face.
    She scooted out from under his arm and headed to the kitchen to start the coffee machine. The moment Grant had seen the coffee maker came to her mind. The way his eyes had brightened at the sight of it had made her heart jump and a peculiar feeling take over her body, making her all wobbly and nervous.
    When coffee was ready, she poured two cups and carried them back to the bedroom.
    He was just waking up and gave her a sleepy smile. “Good morning, sweetie.”
    “Good morning,” she said, offering him one of the cups. She sat down on the end of the bed and watched him over the rim.
    He took a sip of the coffee and made a humming sound with his throat before saying, “This must be the happiest morning of my life.”
    “Why?” she asked him, sipping her own steaming brew and trying to gauge his mood.
    He glanced at her and asked, “Do you have to ask? You make me happy.”
    Samantha chose her words carefully. “Grant, we need to slow down and think about this first.”
    Grant ignored her insecurities and instead changed the subject. “I’m supposed to have dinner with my parents tonight. Would you like to come with me?”
    She sighed, knowing they wouldn’t discuss their relationship until he was ready to do so. Fine. “I’m not sure if that’s such a good idea.”
    “Why not? You like my parents and they’ve always liked you.”
    “I do like your parents. It’s just…I’m not ready for anyone to know that we’ve moved beyond best friends into lover territory. Not yet.”
    Grant laughed at her. “Fine. We don’t have to say anything to them.” But you’re kidding yourself if you think for one minute my mom won’t find out. She’s like Sherlock Holmes when it comes to uncovering things her kids are trying to cover up.
    “Okay then.”
    Grant snagged his shorts from the floor and pulled them on. “I need to buy more supplies over in the next town. Want to come with me?”
    She shook her head. “I’d rather stay here and relax or read a book on the beach, if you don’t mind.”
    “That’s sounds like a plan. I’ll be back later, sweetie.”
    He grabbed the rest of his clothes and his wallet, and then dropped a sweet kiss on her lips before leaving the bedroom and waving her a goodbye. “Until later.”
    Samantha blew him a kiss before grabbing a book, some sunscreen, and a beach towel. The sun was up, a refreshing breeze blew from the lake, and she wanted nothing more than to laze the day away next to the water.
    She found the perfect spot, but before long, she let her book drop unheeded to her lap and closed her eyes. Her mind wandered, back to Grant and his parents. How long had it been since she’d seen them? Five years? Or more?
    Bridget Paxton was a warm-hearted woman, but she could be fiercer than a lioness protecting her cub. Everyone who hurt her kids had to take it up against her.
    Grant’s mother had been exhilarated to move to Sandy Beach, a dream she and her husband had shared for a long time. But the fact that Grant and his two older brothers Ethan and Chase had preferred to stay in Chicago had been a constant thorn in her side.
    Samantha recalled one conversation where her brother Patrick had asked Grant and his older siblings why they hadn’t moved to Sandy Beach with their parents. The reply was something along the lines about them preferring the exciting city life, and joking
