"Why did you let me drink so much?"

Lo leaned against the doorframe of the bathroom, shirtless, while he brushed his teeth. "Pretty sure you did that all on your own, babe. I was down in the expo yesterday while you were living it up with your new friends."

I groaned and splashed cold water on my face. "Alice and Nikki are the only things I don't regret this weekend. Everything else I could have done without." I glanced at him in the mirror. "Except for that standing ovation you got after your pinstriping seminar. I'm pretty sure I will never forget watching you be a pinstriping badass."

Lo wrinkled his brow. "Uh, thanks?"

"You're welcome, handsome. I also won't be able to make banana bread again without wondering if I'm going to burn the place down."

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure I will never be able to get the stench of smoke out of our suitcase."

I rolled my eyes and grabbed a towel. "You're being dramatic. I'll Febreze the hell out of it once we get home, and it will be as good as new." You would be surprised what a bottle of Febreze and a determined woman could do.

My phone dinged, and I glanced at it to see a message from Alice. "Alice wants to know if we want to grab brunch before they leave."

"I'm surprised she's even awake," King laughed. "Between her and Nikki, I didn't think either of them would surface until noon."

I laughed and sent back that we would meet them downstairs in half an hour. "I'm pretty sure the fact that missing checkout is a hefty fee of one hundred dollars propelled them out of bed, just like it did us."

"Good point," Lo laughed. "Speaking of, get your ass dressed, babe. We'll take everything out of the truck before we meet them at the restaurant."

I saluted him in the mirror. "You got it, but only if you get your half-naked body out of my sight. I know I'm hungover, but that doesn't take away from me wanting you."

"You're insatiable, babe," he chuckled.

I wiggled my eyebrows at him. "Only with you, handsome. Now, spit, and get out of my sight."
