me.”
    “Gee, you think?” Deanna bit out as she stood. She tested her ankle by slowly putting most of her weight on it, but when no pain came, she let out a relieved breath.
    Jonas turned and rolled his eyes. “That mouth of yours is going to cause you trouble one of these days.”
    As she reached the door, she planted her hands on her hips. “So I’ve been told.” When he started to speak, she held a hand in the air. “Go home, Jonas.”
    He winked. “Sleep tight, kitten.”
    Deanna wanted to protest the ridiculous nickname, but Jonas quickly stepped through the door and shut it behind him. Deanna cursed as she locked and bolted the damn thing.
    She dropped her forehead against the hard mahogany as an image of Jonas’s ass sprang to her mind. “I am so freaking weak.”

    P ounding. On her front door. Maybe they’d go away? She waited, hoping it’d go away, but the infernal sound started right back up again. “Definitely not my head,” she mumbled as she pried her eyes open and looked at the clock. Seven in the damn morning? Deanna stood and grabbed her robe. “Whoever it is better be half dead.”
    She slipped into the white terry cloth and tied it around her waist as she made her way out of her bedroom and down the stairs. By the time Deanna reached the front door, she’d worked herself into an angry fit. Pulling the curtains aside on the window to the left of the door, Deanna’s anger turned into full-on rage when she spotted Jonas on her porch.
    Unlocking and unbolting the door, she flung it open. “This better be important or I swear I’ll pummel you, Jonas Phoenix.”
    To her satisfaction, Jonas actually flinched. “Ouch. You’re definitely not a morning person, are you?”
    “No. Now go away.” She started to close the door in his face when a sweet aroma hit her nostrils. Wait, was that doughnuts? She stopped mid-slam and raptly watched as Jonas rattled a bag in front of her face.
    “Powdered doughnuts with chocolate cream filling just the way you like them.”
    Her mouth watered. Damn, he was good. She eyeballed the steaming cups. “And is that a mocha latte?”
    Jonas grinned and Deanna’s legs wobbled a little. Jonas’s grins tended to have that effect on a woman. “Would I bring anything else to you this early?”
    “Not if you want to live.” She heaved a heavy sigh and stepped away from the door to allow him entrance. “No sense in letting perfectly good pastries go to waste.”
    He stepped over the threshold. “Figured you’d see it that way,” he said, a little too cockily for her peace of mind, and headed toward her kitchen.
    The sight of Jonas’s ass encased in tight denim pleasantly distracted Deanna. Well, if she had to be awake at such an ungodly hour, at least a pleasant view and yummy treats awaited her. Or was that a yummy view and pleasant treats? She shrugged and followed the exquisite sight and smell. When she entered the kitchen, Jonas already had several napkins out of the bag and began to set a doughnut on top of one for her.
    She licked her lips but didn’t dig in. Not until she knew the real reason behind the kind gesture. “Is this like a bribe or something?”
    Jonas chuckled and straddled a chair across from the table. “You are too suspicious. It’s breakfast, Deanna, nothing more.”
    Drawn by the promise of sweet, chocolate filling, Deanna grabbed a chair and sat. Okay, I’m weak. Who wouldn’t be when faced with chocolate cream filling? She picked up the doughnut and bit into it, then proceeded to moan. “These are the best doughnuts in the world.”
    “I knew you liked that little doughnut shop, but I’ve never actually been there until today.”
    “What made you go today?”
    “I asked Wade about your favorite breakfast food. He told me you rarely eat breakfast, but if you do, then it comes from Donut World.”
    She swallowed before asking, “You’re getting information about me from my brother now?”
    “Whatever it takes, kitten.”
