CHAPTER EIGHT

Wes didn’t try to talk. Could only wait for his heart rate to ease back to a normal pace. Not easy with Debra’s scent winding around him and her sexy moans echoing in his ears. For the first time, he understood the advice given to men of a certain age to check with their doctor about being healthy enough for sex.

Not that he had any serious heart issues, but Debra had just elevated the entire sexual experience. He’d had good sex in his life. Great sex on occasion. Marriage, the joy of being in love, had amplified sex with his wife. But here? Now? He had a brand-new understanding of the power of chemistry. He hadn’t known what he’d been missing.

The thought made him chuckle.

“What’s so funny?” Sprawled over him, Debra’s supple curves were delightfully warm and pliant.

He traced circles on her shoulder blade. “Just thinking you’d be trouble if I had heart problems.”

Her lips danced over his chest and along his collarbone. “Is that so?”

Hearing the smile in her voice, along with a healthy measure of pride, he brought her hand to his lips and kissed her fingers one by one. He couldn’t get enough of her. “I’m not complaining. It would be one helluva way to go.”

She propped up onto her elbow, her fingers tracing his jaw. “That’s not funny.”

He chuckled again, rolling her to her back, and ravishing her mouth and throat with kisses. “Guess it’s old man humor.”

“Hm. You could find an old man and ask him,” she teased.

He kissed her, could’ve gone on all night, just savoring her mouth. But he needed to get that ring safely tucked away and they had roles to play for Buckman’s sake. That should’ve been his primary concern, but instead he wanted to be sure Debra understood she was more to him than a convenient hookup or a ploy of some sort.

“I should go,” he said when his cell phone chimed. “That’s probably Brent confirming someone is in place for the overnight watch.”

He levered up, hating that he had to leave. It sucked, but he didn’t dare stay any longer. Rolling out of the bed, he searched the floor for his pants.

“So much for making it look like we’re taking things slow,” she murmured.

Her voice was sultry and satisfied. He turned to find her braced against the headboard, the sheet covering her tucked under her arms. The seductive expression on her face would keep him aching for the rest of the night. “If Buckman’s watching, she’ll be convinced your feminine wiles are in perfect working order.”

“No.” Debra wrinkled her nose. “I can’t go there. This wasn’t—”

“I know,” he assured her. “I’d invite you back to my suite, but I already know the answer.”

“Appearances suck,” she lamented.

“No argument here.” He buttoned his shirt. “Let’s plan on meeting for lunch tomorrow.”

“I’ve got a…” Her voice trailed off.

He saw the awareness hit her and reactions flitted across her features, ending with pained shadows deep in her eyes. She’d forgotten she wouldn’t be on shift tomorrow.
