WHEN SOPHIE REVIVED, Cade’s head lay heavy on her shoulder. He was still inside her, and she very much wanted to keep him there.

Wanted to place a tender kiss on his temple.

Which was why she would not. The sex had literally blown her mind, but they’d agreed up front—hot sex, that’s all this was.

Even though her mind kept threatening to drift off into fantasies.

But she reminded herself that he would leave her. He would go back to wandering as soon as he was well enough.

And she would stay here. Maybe he’d visit Jenna now and again, but he would be a stranger to Sophie. He had a life much larger than her own, his stage the entire planet.

It had been very clear to her in the first moments of their lovemaking—hot sex, she corrected herself brutally—that this was a man who could steal her heart.

And leave it in shreds when he left.

So it would be only a fling, as they’d said. And, she had to smile, that was not a bad thing. She had too much to focus on, making Hotel Serenity a success. She couldn’t afford to be distracted by emotion. Hot sex, though…she could spare a few hours here and there. She did, after all, feel like a million bucks right now. More relaxed than she’d been in weeks. Months.

Years, maybe.

“What’s got that Cheshire cat smile on your face, Queenie?”

“If I say you…” She raised her eyelids slowly. “Are you going to get all arrogant and conceited on me?”

He grinned, that devastating, killer-sexy smile of his. “Maybe.”

His eyes scanned her body and she was surprised by the urge to preen. She lifted her arms and flipped out her hair. “Me, too. I so rocked your world.”

His laughter rolled over her like honey. He pulled her up and hugged her. “So you did, Queenie. So you did.”

She rested her head on his shoulder and clasped him tightly. Surely simple affection was all right. How could she not feel tender toward someone so generous with his body, so in tune with her own? “Friends with benefits,” she murmured. “I never really understood that until now.”

“Me, either.” He leaned her back so he could look at her. “I like you, Queenie. When you decide not to play the ice queen, or harp on me, anyway.” His eyes twinkled.

“You’re trying to make me mad, but I’m too satisfied to take the bait.”

“What did I tell you? Aren’t you glad you caved? Did we ever set an amount?”

“I didn’t cave, you did.” She tossed her head. “One kiss and you were toast,” she said, surprising herself. She’d never flirted like this in her life, always too serious.

She liked it.

“You caved,” he said smugly. “But hey, I understand. You couldn’t help yourself.”

Sophie opened her mouth to protest—

But Cade had other plans for her.
