CHAPTER 7
PATRICK
Gia was still sleeping when Patrick woke. Quietly watching her, he knew this might all be over as soon as reality hit. He felt a twinge of remorse for taking Tyler's girl, but only a twinge. She obviously wanted him just as much. He kept telling himself that Ty was just a kid; he had so much more to offer her.
Gia yawned. He watched longingly as she stirred a little. Placing a soft kiss on her shoulder, he held her warm body close to his.
Slowly she opened her eyes and looked at him; her lips curved into a smile. She snuggled close. As if she knew what he was thinking, she said, "Just hold me for now, okay? As long as we stay right here, under these covers, I don't need to worry about what happens next."
"Oh, we can stay under the covers all day, definitely …"
