Autumn woke up pressed snuggly against River's chest. He had an arm wrapped around her waist, holding her close to him.

As far as hour-long naps went, this was the best she'd ever had. Damn, he felt so good against her. She could stay this way forever.

River's low chuckle reverberated through her. "You've got no idea how much I'd like that."

Autumn mentally scolded herself, she'd said that out loud.

"I didn't mean to wake you," she said as she raised her head so she could see his face. This man was beautiful. And even that word did him no justice.

He was quite a sight to behold.

His hair which was dark as coal was as soft and shiny as mulberry. Autumn knew this because she'd had in her fingers in it a few hours ago.
