When the door opened, Margot, ready to jump into Xavier’s arms, stopped instantly when a stunning woman smiled warmly at her, and beckoned her in.

She couldn’t help the uncontrolled jealousy as her eyes moved over the woman whose clothes were undone, barefoot, her hair tousled and sexy, obviously just coming out of bed. Out of bed, in Xavier’s apartment. With Xavier.

“Come on in. But keep your voice low, Xavier is still asleep. He doesn’t like to be disturbed. Well, the Xavier I know wouldn’t. Would you like some coffee?”

The unexpected guest in Xavier’s apartment moved into the shabby kitchenette and reached for an old coffeemaker.

“Ugh,” she commented, as she turned it sideways. “I don’t even know how this works.” She looked up at Margot and laughed softly. “Years ago, I remember throwing one of these out of a window on the tenth story of a building.”

Tamesine shrugged. “I was a little, um, out of control, then. Of course, I also remember when we heated coffee over an open flame, so I shouldn’t complain, right?”

Margot finally worked through her shock enough to speak. “Um, would you like me to do it? I know that machine, my mother had one like it.”

“Bless you, yes.” Tamesine stepped back to watch Margot plug the coffeepot in, check the pot, look for filters, and coffee grounds.

“Here we go. Okay, it shouldn’t be long.”

“Ummm, great. I’ve become accustomed to coffee in the mornings.” Her eyes moved over Margot. “You’re quite lovely. What is your name?”

A friendly discourse with the lover of a man she was falling for was not the evening Margot had planned. It was obvious that she’d read too much into the relationship she had with this man. After all, they’d just had sex a few times, and that didn’t make him hers. This gorgeous woman proved that.

Polite, though, she backed up. “You know, I’m intruding, and I’m just going to go. You guys have a nice evening.”

Just as she reached for the doorknob, she felt the woman’s hand on her shoulder. “You’ve misread my relationship with Xavier. I’m an old friend, but we’re not lovers.”

The comment stopped Margot. How was that possible? She’d arrived to find the sexiest woman she’d ever seen in Xavier’s apartment, who had obviously just come from his bedroom, with Xavier still asleep in his bed, and she wasn’t his lover?

Right now, it was more than she could process. For a woman who hadn’t ever had a close romantic relationship, who had actually avoided that possibility all of her life, it was too much.

“I’m still going to get out of here. I’ll see him around so, please, don’t even tell him I was here.”

Tamesine lifted a hand to stop Margot. “Sweetie, you’re not leaving without letting me explain.”

Prepared to use compulsion on Margot, Tamesine’s head swiveled when the door to the bedroom opened and a shirtless Xavier came through.

He halted when he saw Tamesine near Margot, whose hand was on the doorknob, apparently on her way out. His eyes went straight to Margot’s.
