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?"

"Can't you ever just talk straight?"
