“Are you out of the tub?”

Mary laughed, put the phone to her other ear, and burrowed deeper into the pillows. It was sometime after four o'clock.

“Yes, Rhage.”

She couldn't remember when she'd had a more luxurious day. Sleeping in. Food delivered with books and magazines. The Jacuzzi.

It was like being at a spa. Well, a spa where the phone rang all the time. She wouldn't count how many times he'd called her.

“Did Fritz bring you what I asked?”

“How did he find fresh strawberries like that in October?”

“We have our ways.”

“And the flowers are beautiful.” She eyed the bouquet full of roses and foxglove and delphinium and tulips. Spring and summer in a crystal vase. “Thank you.”

“I'm glad you like them. I wish I could have gone out and chosen them myself. I would have enjoyed finding you only the most perfect ones. I wanted them to be bright and smell good.”

“Mission accomplished.”

Male voices sounded in the background. Rhage's voice dimmed. “Hey, cop, mind if I use your bedroom? I need some privacy.”

The response was muffled and then she heard a door shut.

“Hi,” Rhage said in a husky drawl. “Are you in bed?”

Her body stirred, heating up. “Yes.”

“I miss you.”

She opened her mouth. Nothing came out.

“You still there, Mary?” When she sighed, he said, “That doesn't sound good. Am I getting too real for you?”

I've had eight different females this week alone.

Oh, God . She did not want to fall for him. Just could not let herself.

“Mary?”

“Just don't… say things like that to me.”

“It's how I feel.”

She didn't respond. What could she say? That she felt the same way? That she missed him even though she'd talked to him once every hour throughout the day? It was true, but not something she was happy about. He was too damned beautiful… and hell, he could put Wilt Chamberlain in the shade when it came to a list of lovers. So even if she were perfectly healthy, he was a recipe for disaster. Add to the situation what she was facing healthwise?

Getting emotionally attached to him was downright absurd.

As the silence stretched between them, he cursed. “We have a lot of business to take care of tonight. I don't know when I'll be back, but you know where to find me if you need me.”

As the phone connection was cut off, she felt just awful. And she knew the lectures about keeping distant were not really working.
