Free Hot for Love (Bachelor Billionaire #2) by Sharon Cummin Page B

on his bicep, as she commented on how fit he was.
He leaned in to kiss her. Their lips connected as she put her hand on
the back of his head. She parted her lips and licked his bottom lip.
He slid his tongue into her mouth and found hers. They kissed for a
few minutes. She slid her hand down his chest toward his jeans. Josh
couldn't figure out why, but he wasn't in the mood. It had been a
long week and he needed to get some rest. He just needed some sleep.
She asked him if everything was okay, and he told her he wasn't
feeling well. He told her he needed to go home and they would go out
again when he was feeling better.
    Josh
drove home and fell into his bed, still dressed. It was just after
eleven o'clock on Friday night, and he was at home in his bed. What
are you doing, he wondered? Get your shit together. If he checked
just to make sure everything was fine with Lisa, he would feel
better. There was no reason to even think about her. Becky and Gavin
were awesome and would take care of her. Heath would visit as well.
She must have been fine, because she didn't need him for anything
that entire week. He pulled out his phone and started to type.
    “ Are
they being nice to you?” he sent.
    Josh
took his clothes off and got under his covers. His lights were off,
and he was going to bed. There was no reason to stay up. He might as
well get some rest. In the morning, he would be rested and feeling
like himself. Just as he closed his eyes, he heard the sound of his
phone.
    “ No,
they have me locked in the bedroom,” she sent back.
    Josh
laughed out loud and felt a little of his tension fade. His phone
buzzed again.
    “ Is
this my hero? I thought you were off saving someone else.”
    They
went back and forth for hours. She told him about her week and asked
about his. He told her about work. She asked him about the calls he
had gone on during the week. She joked about how it was a Friday
night and he was at home in bed. Why wasn't he out on a hot date? He
told her he didn't feel like going out. She told him Becky was making
dinner and inviting him and Heath over the next night. Without even
thinking about it, he said he would be there. They were both tired
and decided to go to bed. Josh looked at the clock and noticed it was
three o'clock in the morning. Time flew by, and when he drifted off
to sleep, he was completely relaxed.
    Josh
woke up feeling refreshed. It had been the best night of sleep he had
the entire week. He went to the gym and checked on the restaurants.
On his way to Becky and Gavin's, he stopped at the store and picked
up some of Lisa's favorite candy and a few snacks she liked.
    Gavin
answered the door and gave Josh a huge smile.
    “ What?”
Josh asked.
    “ Nothing,”
Gavin answered.
    Josh
went to the living room, where Lisa was sitting on the couch next to
Heath. He let out a breath, and they both turned to see him. Lisa
went to get up, and Heath gave Josh a serious look. Josh hurried into
the room to Lisa.
    “ Don't
get up,” he said.
    “ I'm
fine,” she said. “I'm getting pretty good with the
crutches. I can get around so much better.”
    He
walked over and handed her a bag, once she sat back down. She went
through the bag and laughed as she pulled the stuff from it. Heath
grunted, as he stood up and left the room.
    “ What
the fuck is his problem?” Josh asked.
    “ I
have no idea. He was fine until just now. He has been moody lately.”
she answered. “You look rested for being up half the night.”
    “ I
slept great. I went to the gym and ran to all the restaurants today.
I feel good,” he laughed.
    He
felt the best he had felt all week.
    Heath
walked back into the room with a black marker.
    “ I
haven't signed your cast yet,” he said.
    “ Becky
and Gavin haven't either,” she replied.
    Heath
crouched down on his feet and opened the marker. He had a huge smile
on his face, as he grabbed her leg and pulled it up on his lap. His
smile left his face in an instant. He groaned, as he
