Chapter Thirteen

Elaine stretched, rolled onto her back, and slung an arm across the pillow next to her.

The empty pillow.

Her eyes blinked open and she sat up. “Craig?”

Where’d he go?

A quick scan of the room and through the door to the small living area revealed nothing. No dark-haired, blue-eyed, hunk-a-hunk-a-burnin’-love roaming around naked in her little cottage.

The Cajun sex god had flown the coop.

With a half-mortified, half-disappointed groan, she flopped flat on her back, the sheets against her bare skin a sensual reminder of the mattress acrobatics she and Craig had performed into the wee hours. She punched the pillow. How could she be so foolish to think he’d stay? He probably hopped in and out of so many beds he didn’t know where he was half the time.

The scent of him drifted up from the pillow. Without thinking, she hugged it to her breasts and inhaled deeply. A soft sigh escaped her lips, and the twisty-gurgling feeling in the pit of her stomach settled into a hungry rumble.

Why should she be annoyed with his disappearance? Hadn’t he said more than once he wasn’t into commitment? She’d gone to bed with him with her eyes wide open.

So, why did it hurt so much that he’d disappeared?

You’re a big girl, Elaine, get over it.

With a glance at the clock on the bedside table, she realized it was well past noon, which explained his absence. He probably had to go to work today. Out of courtesy, he’d let her sleep.

Cheered by the deduction, she shoved aside the blankets and trotted to the bathroom. The small white-tiled room looked like a tornado had hit it. Jeans and shirts littered the floor along with several empty foil packets.

Craig left without his clothes?

Elaine scooped up the items, still heavy with moisture and smelling strongly of swamp water. No wonder he didn’t want to put them back on. He probably slipped out in the dark so as not to embarrass her or himself in the light of day. Not that he seemed all that self-conscious about being nude.

She flicked open the shower curtain. The soap bar lay in the bottom of the tub, a fragrant reminder of the two of them beneath the warm spray, sliding together, slicked with suds.

With a nervous jerk, she closed the curtain and leaned in to turn the faucets on without looking. A cold shower ought to dispel any lingering fantasies.

While the water pattered against the plastic shower curtain, she peered into the mirror at the reflection of a stranger. With her hair mussed, eyes sparkling, and cheeks flushed pink, she looked more alive than she’d ever seen herself before. The sight of beard burn across her breasts only increased her awareness. An image of Craig sucking one rosy tip at a time into his mouth sizzled in her mind. Her nipples hardened into peaks and fire seared into her belly.

She opened the medicine cabinet and grabbed for toothpaste. With clean teeth and fresh breath, she could conquer the world. In less than ten minutes, she accomplished her morning ablutions and a brief shower.
