Chapter Six

Sweat pooled between them as he lay on top of her, their breathing still labored. He smiled as he looked at her and stroked his hand into her hair. When she’d let her defenses down, the passionate woman had emerged. His instinct had been totally right.

Whispering those primitive words had really turned her on. The best of both worlds occurred to him. A true lady by day and a pure, sexy vamp by night.

When he could finally catch his breath, he withdrew from her, discarded the condom, and pulled her into his arms. She nestled snugly on his shoulder. “Are you okay, Becky?” he murmured, kissing her forehead.

She sighed. “Never more so. Another first for me.”

“Yeah, that guy you dated must have been a real loser.”

She giggled. “Yes, one of the finest. I guess now I can’t play the prim English teacher with you anymore.”

He chuckled. “Nope. I guess you can’t.” He lifted her chin and looked at her. Her cheeks were flushed pink, her eyelids all droopy. He’d never seen a woman look so satisfied. “I kinda like the fact that you come across all demure. Your hidden depths will be our little secret.”

“Mmm, for your eyes only, Jed.”

“Mmm, even better.” He smiled and stroked his hand over her shoulder. “This feels good.”

“What? My skin?”

“Of course, but what I mean is, lying with a woman feels so natural. Looking after Annie since she was born means I rarely get the chance.”

“Yes, it must have been difficult.”

“It was. Marlene died shortly after giving birth to her. There was an unforeseen complication.” He rubbed a hand into his hair. “I suppose I’m over it now. Though I’ve noticed that Annie becomes more and more like her mother with each passing day. We were childhood sweethearts, you see. Got married when we were just kids ourselves. I’m just glad we didn’t start a family right away, otherwise I wouldn’t have had those years with her.”

Her hand feathered over his chest, and he clasped it in his, aware that he had opened up to Rebecca more than he thought possible. Usually when he lay with a woman, he’d just keep the conversation on small talk.

He realized there was something different about Rebecca. Possibly it was her ability to listen without comment, or the fact that they’d spent time together while she gave Annie some extra schooling. Whatever the reason, he liked her all the more.

“Say, Rebecca, have you got any condoms here?”

Her head lifted sharply off his shoulder, and she stared at him. “Now why would you think I’d have any? There’s hardly been a battalion of men knocking at my door.”

He looked down into her beautiful face. “That’s too bad, and I was feeling real horny.” He let out a sigh. “Guess we’ll just have to make do with the other four I brought with me.”

The startled expression on her face made him burst out laughing. “You’re so easily shocked.” He touched her nose playfully. “I’m gonna enjoy teasing you.”

“I might have known you were joking.
