one of the couches.
    “ You are more than welcome to sleep in my bed.” Levi slumped down next to me, putting his feet up on the circular ottoman that matched the couch.
    “ As tempting as that offer is, I’ll take my chances out here.” I slipped off my shoes and curled my legs up under me.
    “ Wow, Levi, you’ve never offered to let me take your bed before,” Hailey said with exaggerated insult.
    “ And I’ll never offer you my bed. If you don’t want to sleep on the couch talk to your brother, or better yet, go home.”
    “ Aww, you are always so sweet to me.”
    I laughed lightly at their banter. I liked how Hailey wasn’t afraid to stick up for herself. No one else ever seemed to challenge Levi.
    Owen joined us and we all talked for a while, mostly about all the trouble Levi, Owen, and Jared used to get into as kids. It turns out they all grew up together. I laughed more than I had in ages, and eventually I must have fallen asleep.

    I was so comfortable when I woke up. Warm and more content than I had been in a while, I tried to stretch. I didn’t have any room which was odd because my room at the hotel had a king size bed. I opened my eyes and first only saw the quilt; it was draped over me and someone else. I turned my body and looked right into those darn blue-gray eyes again.
    “ Good morning, beautiful.”
    “ Oh god.”
    “ Sleep well?”
    I struggled to move, but he still had his arms around me. Relief flooded me as I discovered we were on a couch and not a bed.
    “ What are you doing here?”
    “ You’re in my apartment, or did you forget?”
    “ I mean why are you sleeping on the couch with me? Why aren’t you in your room?”
    “ Oh, I gave my bed to Hailey.”
    “ But I thought you’d never…”
    “ I was just messing with her. Besides, I thought we could use the privacy.”
    “ Was I really so zonked out I missed all of this?” I asked.
    “ You fell asleep in the middle of a conversation and were leaning against me. You looked too comfortable to disturb, so I just moved us a bit.”
    “ I see. Well at least we’re on the couch and not your bed.” I was only pretending to be calm. I couldn’t believe I had spent the night snuggled up with Levi. I was admittedly surprised, yet relieved he hadn’t tried anything.
    “ Don’t sound so relieved about it.” His voice was playful but there was definitely a note of offense there.
    “ Hmm, yeah because it would have felt great to wake up in bed with a guy I don’t know.”
    “ You do know me, Allison.”
    “ That again?” I asked him, still struggling to move out of his arms and off the couch.
    “ You are really cute when you get angry.”
    “ Just shut up and let go of me so I can get the heck out of here.”
    “ Wow, calm down. Aren’t you going to let me make you breakfast? It’s the least I can do for the girl I just spent the night with.”
    “ I did not spend the night with you, we were on the couch.” I blinked a few times, trying to get rid of the dryness in my eyes from sleeping in contacts.
    “ You spent the night in my arms, sweetheart. Sex or no sex, you can’t argue that.”
    I groaned. Sudden laugher reminded me that we weren’t really alone. I struggled against Levi again, and he finally relented so I could sit up. Owen walked into the room just as I stood up and made an attempt to get some wrinkles out of my dress. Levi remained lounging on the couch.
    “ Good morning. Did you enjoy the wonderful accommodations of our living room?”
    “ Where’s Jess? Please tell me she’s here somewhere,” I said, not bothering to answer Owen. I was so over being made fun of.
    “ She’s in with Jared,” the guys both said at once.
    “ Um, could one of you please get her for me?” I asked, slipping my flip-flops back on and picking up my purse from the floor.
    “ There’s no way I’m taking the chance of seeing Jared naked,” Levi said sitting up and stretching.
    “ Gross. Fine, which room is
