章節 40: Chapter 40

Austin and Courtney were a tangled mass of limbs, but he didn't care. The time had been too lengthy since he last had her in his bed beside him. Satisfied, he drew her tighter to his side.

She pushed her hair from her face and smiled up at him. "She's a heavy woman with gray hair. I don't think I've ever seen it out of its bun. When I need it, she'll offer comfort, but most often times she's real blunt. The direct approach is more her style. She doesn't like to coddle." She burrowed into his chest.
