SAM HAD GREAT CREDIT.

In her earlier haste to retrieve the condom from his wallet, she’d scattered his credit cards on the floor and now they lay there still, little platinum reminders of her own insatiability. She buried her burning cheeks against the crook of his neck, trying to keep from squirming in shame.

Sam, now seated on her sofa, his legs spread out across its length, held her on his lap. One arm supported her shoulder, the other gently stroked her hair. Fifteen minutes had passed since they’d made love against the wall. Fifteen minutes during which Sam had carefully pulled away from her, covered her with his T-shirt when her own wasn’t easily within reach, and settled onto the sofa with her on his lap. Fifteen minutes that felt like a lifetime.

It had never occurred to her that the kind of man who would make love to a woman up against her living room wall, after driving her to near orgasm by merely kissing her breasts, would also be the kind of man with a good credit rating.

The absurdity of that thought struck her immediately. Yet she couldn’t get it out of her head. Her one remaining functional brain cell—the rest must have been completely fried during the combustion—told her she was only obsessing about Sam’s credit because it kept her from thinking about all the things she didn’t want to think about right now.

Guilt and anxiety mixed in equal parts in her belly like one of Chandi’s killer martinis, making her feel about as sick as she had the time she’d tried one.

Dear God, what had she done?

What had she been thinking? Sex with Sam? Up against a wall? In her living room? In front of her picture window?

She had neighbors, for goodness’ sake!

In her mind flashed an image of the elderly couple from down the block, the Hansens, out taking their nightly walk, happening by her house. Poor Mr. Hansen had a weak heart. She’d probably killed him!

Okay, Tabitha. Calm down, she told herself. Mr. Hansen was probably safely at home watching the evening news. If he’d had a heart attack Mrs. Hansen would be banging down the door. Probably no one saw them having sex. If anyone had…well, she couldn’t do anything about that. She had to concentrate on the problems she could do something about. She had to get herself back under control.

She had to get off Sam’s lap.

SAM KNEW the very instant Tabitha started thinking again. She’d been snuggled against his chest, lush bare legs pulled in close to her body, one hand tucked under her chin, the other resting against his heartbeat. She’d been so contented he would have wondered whether or not she was even awake if it hadn’t been for the occasional flutter of her eyelashes.

He felt awareness return to her, not slowly, as it had for him, but in short, rapid bursts. The knowledge of what they’d done hit her as quickly as the passion had. He felt it in her
