It was much later before she stirred. He had reluctantly moved just enough to give her breathing space, but he hadn’t been able to force himself to put emotional space between them, too. He had never liked sleeping with a woman, never liked the feel of a body pressed against his, smothering him with unspoken demands. Now he couldn’t seem to get as close as he wanted. He wanted to be inside her again.

Antoinette looked up at the man who still held her in his arms. His eyes were closed, his face as peaceful as she’d ever seen it. She wondered what it would take to smooth away all the lines of tension. She doubted it was possible.

The rain was still falling, but gently now, a flourish-filled cadenza after the fury of the storm. The thunder and lightning had moved far away, taking the wind with them. Their lovemaking had been as fierce and wild as their surroundings. Antoinette stretched a little and felt her muscles protest.

“I’d better give you a pillow for the canoe,” Sam said.

“No reason. I do this at least once a week. Especially if I can get a cop to take me to his cabin in a swamp.”

“A sucker for a badge and cypress trees.”

She stretched again, wrapping her arms behind him and turning to her side. “Actually, I may need that pillow.”

“Actually, I have no intention of letting you get in a canoe.”

“What about Didi’s dinner?”

He brushed a strand of hair off her forehead and kissed the spot where it had been. “I have a feeling Didi would understand.”

“I am definitely going to like Didi.”

“I want you again.”

“As long as you have two pillows.”

“That can be arranged.”
