Chapter Six

Sunlight struck Scarlet’s face. She cringed and lifted her hand to cover her eyes. Her body ached and she could barely lift her head.

“Rise and shine.”

She opened one eye against the punishment of the light and saw Tony, his hair wet, his wetsuit peeled down to his waist. His chest was tanned and firm and delicious. His arms were tanned and firm and delicious. “You’ve been for a surf.”

“A quick one.” He winked and there were those dimples. They reached out and pulled at her senses.

“We need to get you home and we need to get to work.”

“Oh my God. What day is it?” Where was she? Who was she?

“Tuesday.” He grinned and it sucker punched her in the midriff, stealing her breath.

“Coffee?” He held out a cup and the aroma penetrated her stupor.

She reached out for it like a woman drowning. “Bless you.” She took a sip and the shroud of exhaustion lifted. Another and she was able to open both eyes. A third and she leapt from the bed. “I need a shower. Got to get going. What time is it?”

“Six.”

“Six? It feels like the middle of the night.”

“I can have you home by seven thirty if you move.”

“Great. Thanks.” She resisted the temptation of the delicious man and headed straight for the bathroom. She flicked the faucet and stood under the hot spray, her mind numb for long minutes until it turned to clothes and underwear—wet underwear—and oh hell, then it all came back. The ocean. The shower. The bed. No wonder her body felt like it had been hit by a tsunami.

“There’s a hot towel here. And your underwear. Straight out of the dryer. I’ve topped up your coffee. Move, O’Connor. We need to go. There’s toast, too.”

“Thanks.” The word near choked her. She was in Tony Radcliff’s shower and it was all so comfortable and normal and easy. They’d had sex. They’d had more than sex. Scarlet wouldn’t soon forget what had passed between them. Oh, hell. What had she done? It’s fine. You’ll be fine. We’ll be fine.

She lifted the warm towel to her nose and pressed it close. It smelt fresh and clean and there was an undertone of citrus… orange.

She had to move. Her limbs were heavy, and her mind resisted the urge to rush. She rubbed the towel over her body and reached for her underwear. He’d left deodorant out for her and a new toothbrush. He knew his way into a woman’s heart. He’d dried her underwear. Warmth flushed through her. Damn it. Why did he have to be so nice? It was hard to find fault. It was hard to find anything to use against him. She needed it. She needed to armour up. She needed to move. She glanced at her watch.

Her shirt barely covered her private parts. Where were the leathers she’d worn last night? Not in the bathroom. She’d have to saunter into the kitchen with her legs on display. It wasn’t like he hadn’t seen them already.
