chest, his breath harsh against her neck, his heartbeat pounding through to hers.
    “Best fucking night.”
    “No doubt about it, but…”
    He rested his chin on her shoulder but lifted most of his weight off her body. “But?”
    Mandi laughed as she formed the words in her head to come out the right way through her mouth. She turned her head in his direction and was rewarded with a soft kiss at the corner of her lips. He was rough, tough and tumble, a little gruff too. She was so head over heels for him it wasn’t funny. Sh—
    He pinched her nipple. “Owww.”
    “Tell me what the ‘but’ is.”
    What had she been thinking before? She thought for a moment… “Oh right. If we do this again, can w― Ouch. Dammit.” He pinched her nipple again, this time a little harder and kept up the pressure, the slight pain, and damn if arousal didn’t start weaving its way down her belly to her clit again.
    “What do you mean ‘if’?”
    He sounded a little offended, and that hadn’t been her intention at all. “Well, I didn’t want to assume anything. It is almost dawn and…”
    “Your birthday ends at 11:59 p.m. We still have hours and hours yet to spend together.”
    Technically he was right. “Oh well, in that case, every time we’ve had sex, it’s been from behind.”
    He chuckled next to her ear and the sound was warm and sexy as sin. She could get so damn used to being around him, and she wasn’t sure that spending the rest of the 55

    day with him was the best idea even though she didn’t want to spend her birthday any other way. “Yeah, it has, but can I help it that you have the sexiest backside? I used to watch you walk away from my table and get hard.”
    “I thought you were hard no matter if you were staring at my frontside or my backside.”
    He smacked her on the ass. “Brat.” He kissed her shoulder and lifted the rest of the way off her body, slowly, carefully sliding out of her ass. “Stay put.”
    Moments later she heard water running and then there was warm, moist heat between her cheeks and legs. He again helped her to stand, this time tilting her face up to receive a kiss so sweet, her heart tightened in her chest.
    “Now what was it you were saying before?”
    Before? Yes, what had she been saying? Mandi had to think about it for a second again before her suddenly tired brain flitted back around to their conversation. She grinned. “I was saying, before you started interrupting me, that I’d like to have sex the next time looking at you.”
    “From the frontside, you mean?”
    He was teasing her and she loved when he teased her. Hell, she was learning how much she loved when he did anything to her, with her, in her, on her. “Jerk,” she muttered. “Yes, from the frontside.”
    “I want that too.”
    She tried to stifle a yawn but didn’t succeed. The need for sleep was catching up to her. “I’m sorry. I’m not used to being up all night.”
    “Honestly, me neither.” He nuzzled her neck and she shivered, snuggling closer to him. “Let’s get out of here, get a shower and take a little nap.”
    “You don’t mind?”
    “No, baby, not at all. This way, I can personally attend to your tattoo.” He winked and took her by the hand, leading her to the front of the store. He picked up his clothes 56

    along the way and watched her as he dressed, smirking the entire time knowing her clothes were in the car.
    “Damn man.”
    “You know it.”

    The coffee woke him. He reached out and found emptiness beside him. How long had she been gone from the bed? Jaz opened his eyes to bright sunlight streaming in through dark purple sheers. He glanced around, slowly focusing. The walls of Mandi’s bedroom were painted a very light purple, almost the same shade as the tattoo on her shoulder. He smiled at the memory of inking her. Had it only been a few short hours ago?
    There were no pictures on the walls and the furniture
