CARTER

Soft skin. Gasps of pleasure. The stone around my heart fissures from the release of the affection I’ve kept bottled inside for months. I’m pulled from the deepest sleep I’ve had in almost a year as last night’s activities flood my mind.

Sunlight shines into the bedroom from the open door leading to the living room. I go to throw an arm over my eyes, but the limb is pinned to the soft mattress by a slender neck resting in the crook of my elbow.

Careful not to wake the woman next to me, I turn my head slowly and glance down. Valerie is curled facing away from me, but her hands are gently wrapped around my wrist and forearm while her head rests on the fluffy hotel pillow.

My eyes trail over her lightly disheveled hair, remembering how I’d gripped it as we explored each other’s bodies over and over again.

Valerie was insatiable last night.

I wasn’t much better.

Months of pent-up desire had been waiting to be unleashed for both of us. When we finally abandoned our reservations, the emotion refused to be controlled. It had coursed through us with a mind of its own—urging us to continue our illicit activities well into the early morning.

I look at the clock on the nightstand and see it’s only ten. I think we finally tapped out and fell asleep around four. Six hours isn’t the best amount of sleep, but I feel rejuvenated. Which is surprising considering the physical exertions from last night.

The thought pulls my gaze back to the beauty beside me. Her steady breathing tells me she’s still asleep. My eyes trail over her slender figure, counting the random freckles scattered over her smooth back.

Slowly, I draw my arm out from under her neck. I bite my cheek when she shifts and smile when she huffs in sleeping protest. I manage to free my arm without waking her. With nimbleness that would impress the Rough Riders’ agility coach, I roll off the bed and land in a silent crouch. I grab my briefs off the ground and step into them. I close the bedroom door behind me with a quiet click.

I stretch my arms over my head and take in the living room. My shirt crumbled on the couch is the only evidence of what transpired. More memories from the night play in my head. My smile grows. So does something else…

I huff a laugh and move towards the kitchenette. I need a distraction. I grab a mug from a cabinet. I fill it with water and pour it into the single-serve coffee machine. Coffee is not my thing, but even before Valerie moved in, I noted how much the beauty enjoyed the caffeinated beverage.

While I feel well-rested, I suspect Valerie may feel tired when she wakes up. She didn’t seem intoxicated last night—I wouldn’t have been willing to take things so far if she had—but she was definitely a little tipsy. When you couple alcohol with the night of rigorous sex, she might need an energy boost.
