Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Leda gave a little nod toward the overturned ottoman at the foot of the bed.

York got the hint immediately and scrambled to set it upright, putting it back in place with a sheepish grin.

"So, does this earn me a bit more time with you? Heh..."

Before she could give a nod of approval, he'd already slid closer, wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her toward the bed.

"What are you doing? Weren't we just lying down for a bit? Why are you unbuttoning my shirt?"

"Shh, don't talk. Let's go for another round."

York leaned against the headboard, chuckling softly. "Oh? Got someone to explain it to when you get back?"

"Can't you ever just talk straight?"
