Page 5 of Hooked On Seth (Hooked #5)

Never in her life had Lacie slept face down in the sheets of her bed, but that’s exactly how she woke this time.

Alone.

Was last night all a dream?

“If that was a dream, it was the best damn one I’ve ever had. Even my legs are sore.”

She looked around the room, noticing her bedroom door was shut and there was a sparkling beam of light breaking in through the window.

How long had she slept? And where was Seth?

No way was her imagination that fantastic and descriptive.

He’d rocked her world and she was damn well going to believe it. She only had to find him.

There was a chance she was awful and he’d run far away and that would be super sad on many levels she didn’t want to think about. Or he could have just wok early and let her sleep. Either way she had to know.

After a visit to the bathroom and a fresh set of clothes, she opened the door to the smell of bacon cooking in the kitchen.

“Morning sleepy head.”

Oh no! He was here, thank god, but he sounded awful.

“Is it still morning?”

“It’s just shy of noon, are you hungry?”

“I am but what’s wrong with you?”

“What do you mean?” As soon as he’d gotten the words out, a trio of sneezes wracked his body. She could tell the moment the first word slipped from his mouth. He was sick.

“You poor baby, you’re getting sick.”

“No, no, I can’t be. I have a big case I’m starting next week. I don’t have time to be sick.”

“Sorry to say, but you are. I can hear the nasally sound in your voice.”

Jenna went to Seth’s side, stretching her arms around his waist to hold him close. She was right, it did feel good. Maybe it really would be okay. When she looked up at him, he kissed her sweetly.

“Morning beautiful. I know it’s been said that the morning after is awkward and correct me if I’m wrong but it doesn’t feel like that to me.”

“I agree.”

“So are you okay with this?”

“You mean more than friends?” Jenna smiled. “Yeah, I’m more than okay with more than friends .”
