IN THE NIGHT Jean awakened, and realized Sam wasn’t in bed with her. She couldn’t see much in the dark, but she could see him silhouetted near the window. “What are you doing?” she asked softly.

“Nothing. Thinking.”

“Don’t you think you should get some sleep?” To be honest, she wanted him in bed with her. She was getting used to the warmth of his big body beside her.

“Nah.”

“The bed’s very soft,” she said, well aware she was luring him, and she saw that he turned to face her.

“Are you inviting me into your bed, Jean?”

She giggled. “It’s not my bed.”

He walked over beside her and her pulse sped up, almost making breathing painful. She wanted him, in the worst way.

“And ‘Mom’s’ up the street,” he said with a sigh. “As much as I want to get in bed with you, I don’t think I can get over the specter of Mom.”

Frankly, some good rousing sex would keep her mind off the goons that had decided she was Job #1, but Jean knew she didn’t dare say that to Sam. He’d never relax. “It is daunting,” she agreed. “Let me see if I can massage some of the tension out of you.”

“I guess that’s okay since we’re supposedly married,” he said, and she laughed.

“Just lie down so I can help you unwind a little.”

He did, slowly lowering himself into the bed.

She admitted that she was a bit disappointed he didn’t bother to take off a single layer of clothing. Since he had on three—a fleece-type jacket, a nice cotton shirt and some thermal underwear—it was pretty obvious he intended to sleep just as he had last night, fully clothed.

Big hands suddenly cupped her shoulders, kneading the tension from her own body. “That feels wonderful,” she said on a surprised sigh. The best part was the feelings flowing inside of her, womanly feelings, making her glow with desire.

Of course her Ranger wasn’t about to let himself be seduced. She wanted to cry into the pillow with frustration, then froze as Sam suddenly stood.

“What are you doing?” she asked. “Did you hear something?”

“I’m undressing,” he said, “That’s the only way to test this marriage thing out.”

Her eyes widened. She heard layers peeling off, clothes hitting the floor. She held her breath, waiting to be enveloped by Sam’s warmth.

He finally slid in next to her and framed her face gently with his hands, kissing her the way she’d always dreamed of being kissed. “Don’t stop,” she murmured. “Don’t stop kissing me.” She didn’t think she could stand it if he didn’t pull her cotton T-shirt off—okay, it wasn’t romantic, but she’d been going for modest.

“Are you sure you’re okay with this?” Sam asked.

She pulled the T-shirt off. “Every girl should get a pretend husband once in her life.” She smiled in the darkness when he trapped her hands above her head and kissed down her throat, along her breasts and then each nipple, sending pleasure washing over her. Everything was going oh, so, well—this was
