brushing his nose against mine before trailing light, teasing kisses down my jaw and neck.
“For now,” I whispered, arching my back as Jensen kissed along the line of my right shoulder, pulling my bra strap down at the same time.
His lips travelled down the column of my neck, then over my sternum and toward my right breast while he palmed the left. I moaned, and Jensen groaned, pushing his hips forward again. “God, Madi. I want to fuck you.”
I bit my lower lip, twisting my fingers into his hair, and moaned again. “Make it so, Number One,” I quoted Picard with a giggle that soon escalated to a full-blown laugh.
I felt Jensen’s lips twist up into a smile against my breast and he released a chuckle. “That shouldn’t be as sexy as it is.”
His mouth descended on my body again, forcing me to swallow my laughter as more moans and sighs fill the room and I writhed against him. Pressure quickly expanded in my abdomen, my muscles tightening, the longer he continued to kiss and tease me. And then the tension released …
… in the form of a hiccup.
Both of us raised our heads, and our eyes connected. Jensen had a goofy grin on his face, and I was just annoyed because I could feel the next hiccup building. “It’s okay,” I told him. “They’ll go away.” I hiccupped again. “Seriously.”
They didn’t relent though, and it was very frustrating. There we were, finally about to round third and slide home— heh heh heh, “slide.” —and I had the worst case of hiccups! “Dammit!” I cried out before sucking in a deep breath, hoping that would work.
“I’ll go grab you a glass of water,” Jensen offered, climbing off the bed as I nodded.
He disappeared into the bathroom, and I pushed my half-naked body up toward the head of the bed, sucking in another breath as I lay back on the huge pillows. I heard the tap in the bathroom run for a moment. I assumed Jensen was waiting for it to get cold. Closing my eyes, I exhaled before hiccupping again, and sucked in another deep breath, holding it for as long as possible and questioning our luck.

“ M adi?” I could tell he was whispering, yet his voice still felt like jackhammers assaulting my brain. “Baby, here drink this.”
My eyes fluttered open, and I saw Jensen sitting on the edge of the bed next to me. The room was bathed in bright light, forcing me to squint against it. Jensen held out a glass of water in his right hand, and his left was closed into a fist around something, palm down. As my brain struggled to put two-and-two together, I noticed I was under the blankets and half of the pillows were stacked on the bench at the foot of the bed.
Things were getting weird.
I pushed myself up to a sitting position, noticing I was still in my bra and panties, but stopped to hold my pounding head. “Oh, shit. My head feels like it weighs a ton … Not to mention the construction workers in there pounding the shit out of my brain. How does a hangover come on this quick?”
Jensen looked at me strangely, his right eyebrow arched with confusion—I think. “Madi, baby, it’s ten-thirty in the morning.”
“Bullshit,” I argued, taking the water and opening my other hand beneath the fist he still held out. He dropped two Advil into my palm. “No, that’s not possible. I remember …” Holding the glass of cold water and the pills in my hands, I wracked my memory for the events that led us here. “We were at dinner. Drinking, eating … Kaylie showed up, and then we went back to the party where Kyle and Gavin invited us to have a few drinks with them. Then we came back here and we …” That was when everything got a little fuzzy.
Jensen chuckled. “Intended to have the best sex of your life when you got the hiccups.”
Yup, it all came flooding back, and that was when I only half-realized the light in the room was coming from the window. “Right. And you went to get me water. And now you’re back,
