Lying in Roark’s arms with the sheet draped over their hips, Kaida fondled his chest. “Don’t worry about what you said before. I know we sort of got lost in the moment. I’m not expecting a ring or anything.”

“It slipped out.”

“It’s okay. You didn’t offend, or scare me. It was a sweet thing to hear in the throes of passion, but I know you didn’t mean it. It was sex…incredible, mind-blowing sex.”

“Yes, that’s what it was,” he muttered.

“Our heads are clear now, so back to our scheduled one-night stand. You’re safe.” She joked to soften his embarrassment.

“I love the way you touch me.” Roark stroked her side with gentle hands.

“I can’t help myself; I still can’t get enough of you.” She smoothed her palm over his massive pecs and up to his throat.

Her finger grazed the bulky charm on his necklace and she stopped. Propping herself up on one elbow, she held the hollow silver trinket and examined at it. “Was this handmade? There’s rolled paper inside it.” She took closer peek at the detail.

“I believe so.” With a grimace, he tugged it out of her fingers and let the crude metal cylinder drop back to the pillow behind his neck.

Kaida tried to ignore his awkward response. She curved over him, curious about the tattoo she’d spotted earlier on his left shoulder. A coat of arms with intricate woven knots and encircled by long, ribbed wings.

“What is this?” Kaida sat up on her knees and inspected the elaborate markings.

“Nothing.”

“It’s remarkable. Is it Celtic?”

“Yeah.” Roark pulled away from her, flung the covers off, and got up. He grabbed a white terrycloth robe draped over the end of the bed and slipped it on as he strode toward the closet.

“Did I say something wrong?”

“Of course not.”

“Roark?”

“I caught a chill, that’s all.” He picked up his bag from the cupboard and rested it on the chair beside her.

“That’s all?” I doubt it. Frustration clawing at her, she pulled the covers up to her chest and sat still, waiting.

“Are you hungry?” Rummaging through the black leather bag, he pulled out a change of clothes and put on a pair of boxers. The veins in his temples and along his neck bulged.

“No, but I am confused. Are we done here or something? Is the date over?”

“Don’t be silly. I’m cold.” Turning away from her, he took the robe off, slipped on his jeans and picked up a sweater. “I can order room service; I’m famished after—”

“I said I’m not hungry.” She folded her arms and shot a fierce look at the back of his head.

“Thirsty, you must be thirsty.” He slipped the charcoal, knitted garment on.

“No, I’m not thirsty either. I’m not cold, hot, sleepy, or anything else. Now that we have all that established, I want to know why you got so defensive with me? Is it the tattoo, the necklace, or is there something else bothering—” Then, a horrible thought struck her. “Oh my God, are you married?”

“No.” He spun around, his eyes wide.
