The way he said her name made Riley giddy. She spun around to face him. “Well, I am certainly not complaining about this interesting man behind the film star.”
“Good. I’ve got nothing to complain about either, from where I stand,” he said, bringing her closer to touch the tip of his nose with hers. “And I’m quite pleased you were brave enough to face my parents, and show them how you felt about your man shoveling manure on a cold day.”
“That’s only because I didn’t want you coming to bed smelling of sheep shit. Next time, I’ll let them at you and then I’ll even film you and put it up online,” she laughed as she pulled away. “Your nose is cold, by the way.”
“Don’t you dare put anything up online, lass,” he chuckled, nuzzling his nose against hers. “And it’s not just my nose that’s cold. Yours is, too. Seriously, do you want me to turn up the thermostat? We Yorkshire folk are quite hardy. Though I was thinking that it’s time we dive under the covers and keep each other warm-”
“And fall out of bed like we did that last time?”
“It’s either falling out of bed or being too noisy we’ll wake up the neighbors,” he chuckled. “Take your pick.”
They were in his old bedroom, where the bed was much smaller than what they were used to, though she wasn’t complaining about that at all. Riley loved sleeping in his arms, even if one night she rolled off the bed after a whispery round of sex and landed on the floor with a thump and a yelp. They laughed so hard they woke up Ashe’s parents down the hall.
Riley shook her head, snuggling deeper into his arms. “Let’s not and say we did,” she said snuggling deeper into his arms. “But as much as I love being here, I can’t wait to go somewhere warm where all I’ll be wearing is a bikini. I just don’t know if I’m ready for the sight of you in Speedos.”
“Don’t worry. I don’t do Speedos,” Ashe said, squeezing her bottom playfully. “Still, I wouldn’t count on that bikini either, Riley-I-am.”
“And why not?”
Ashe laughed. “Because where we’re going, luv, you won’t need one.”

Indie authors like me depend on word-of-mouth for their books to be noticed.
