Morning Mischief    

 

[EVE]

 

The shrill ring of my phone pierced through the early morning quiet, dragging me out of a much-needed slumber.

 

Groaning, I groped for the device on the bedside table, my body protesting with every move. Muscles sore, limbs heavy, and—let's just say last night's escapades with Cole were . . . intense. My thigh were still numb and my vagina was still sore.

 

Squinting at the blinding screen, I grimaced. 7:00 AM? Who on earth thought it was acceptable to call this early, especially during the holidays? My irritation bubbled to the surface—until I saw the name. Hyun.

 

With a sigh, I accepted the call. "Hey, what's up?" My voice was still scratchy with sleep, and I didn't even bother pretending to be cheerful.

 

"Eve! Sorry for waking you, but are you back in town yet?" Hyun's voice practically buzzed with excitement.
