A sense of pleasurable expectation hummed through my body, and I felt utterly relaxed and at peace. The empty space beside me was the second thing I noticed. No Zach. I pouted when my exploring hand found nothing but cool sheets where Zach had been. I listened but didn’t hear him moving around the suite. That dimmed a little of my happiness in the new day. I wanted a good morning kiss. Don’t be greedy, I told myself. I’d gotten plenty last night. Almost more than I could handle. I stretched and rolled over, enjoying the slide of the sheets and faint scent of Zach they still held. Sun streamed in through the windows, which meant I’d probably overslept. My muscles stood the stretch test without protesting, so I rolled to the edge of the bed and sat up, letting the covers fall away. Cool air on my naked body felt surprisingly good, waking me up all over. I stood, sinking my toes deep into the sheepskin rug beside the bed. Mmm.
