Jera awoke the next morning to the bright Texas sun streaming through the window and the faint sound of music coming from somewhere in the house. She yawned and stretched then glanced over at the clock on the nightstand. 9:30. She decided to get up because she didn't want to miss a minute of her time with Shawn and Paul, especially Paul.
She smiled as she threw back the covers and got out of bed. She grabbed her robe from the back of the chair where she had left it the night before. She slipped it on and opened the door. Paul's door was still shut. Breakfast smells wafted fown the hall from the kitchen. Apparently someone was either cooking or already had.
Jera made her way into the kitchen and found Shawn there cooking breakfast. "Morning Shawny."
Shawn looked up from the pan of eggs he was scrambling and smiled. "Good morning beautiful. Did you sleep okay?"
"Like a log." She walked over to the stove. "Wow, this sure smells good."
"Thanks."
She leaned against the counter and helped herself to a grape from a bowl on the counter. "Where's Rebecca?"
"She went out to breakfast with some friends. Then then they're going shopping for nursery stuff."
"Oh."
Shawn finished the eggs and dumped them onto a platter. "This is almost done. I guess I should go wake up Paul."
"I'll go get him."
Shawn turned and gave her a grin. Jera just shook her head as she walked back to the bedrooms. She started to knock on the door but thought better of it. Instead to quietly turned the knob and pushed the door open. When she stepped inside her pluse quickened at the sight of the man on the bed in front of her.
He was lying on his back, one arm up on the pillow and the other beside. His chest was bare and the sweat pants he was wearing were low on his hips. He looked absolutely gorgeous.
Jera walked quietly over to the bed and sat down softly on the edge. He didn't stir. She leaned over him placing her hand on his chest and giving him a small shake. "Pauly."
His eyes fluttered open and a smile spread across his face. "What a way to wake up. With an angel hovering over you." Jera smiled and shook her head. She started to get up but before she could Paul slid his arms around her and pulled her onto his chest so her face was just inches from his.
"You know what would really wake me up?" he asked.
"What?" Her voice was barely a whisper.
"This." He leaned up and kissed her. Her lips parted on a soft sigh and he kissed her deeply, their tongues tangling, exploring. His hands slipped under the short cotton robe she wore and caressed the smooth skin of her hip and thigh. She moaned softly and the sound nearly drove him wild. He rained small kisses down her neck and shoulder before making his way back to her mouth, running his tongue over her lower lip before capturing her lips again.
Shawn's voice from the kitchen broke the spell. "Hey ya'll, breakfast is ready."
Paul groaned and shook his head. "One of these days I'm going to punch him." Jera laughed.
"But this is the best wake up call I've ever had."
"Oh really?"
"Really." He pulled her down for another quick kiss before releasing her. Jera pressed a kiss to his shoulder before standing up a straightening her robe. Paul got up and the two of them walked to the kitchen hand in hand.
