Kiss of Death (2010)
Kiss of Death
“She woke up warm and drowsy, cuddled like a spoon against Shane, their hands clasped even in sleep. She felt great. Better than any day, ever, in her whole life.
In the still hush of early morning, she tried to freeze the moment, the sound of his soft, steady breathing, the feel of him relaxed and solid next to her.
I want this, she thought. Every day. For life. Forever.
And then her alarm clock went off, shrieking.
Claire flailed and slapped at it, then succeeded in knocking it to the floor. She dived for it and finally got it switched off, feeling like a complete fool that she’d ever left it on in the first place. She twisted around and saw Shane had opened his eyes, but hadn’t otherwise moved. He looked drowsy and sweet and lazy, hair mussed, and she leaned back down to kiss him, sweet and slow.
His arms went around her, and it felt so natural, so perfect, that she felt that glow again, that feeling of absolute rightness.
“Hey,” he said. “You’re cute when you’re panicked.”
