Chapter Seven

Lauryn had defended him tonight.

Adam couldn’t remember the last time someone had stepped up to the plate for him. Not his father, his mother or his brothers. He didn’t expect his sisters to because as the older sibling it was his job to look out for Brooke and Britt.

And yet Lauryn had gone to bat for him without hesitation and without him asking her to. That flash of fire in her eyes when she’d stared Parker down had been downright sexy. It made Adam desire her even more.

Would she be as passionate a lover?

With his thoughts fixated on the woman making use of his bathroom, he sat on his bed in his loft bedroom staring blindly at the half wall that overlooked the living room below. Lauryn wasn’t the first female to shower here by a long shot, but she was the only one who’d ever made him want to pull up a chair and watch the water stream over her naked curves. Better yet, join her and let his hands and mouth follow the water’s path.

That’s because by the time a woman uses your shower you’ve already had her, and you’re eager to put her into a cab and send her home.

His women didn’t sleep here. Lauryn would be the first.

Moments later the bathroom door opened and Lauryn emerged in a cloud of steam. She’d pinned up her hair, but damp tendrils clung to her freshly scrubbed and flushed cheeks.

How could he have ever believed her mousy? She looked so damned desirable wearing the shapeless baggy shorts and worn T-shirt his teeth ached.

“Why did you defend me tonight?”

She jerked to a halt and hugged the black dress she’d worn to dinner tighter against her chest. The garment had covered her from neck to knees, outlining an hourglass shape that made his mouth water and his hands itch to explore. The sexy little slit in the back hem of the skirt had had him groaning at each glimpse of thigh. He saw more skin on the Estate dance floor every night, but because Lauryn dressed conservatively, that flash of taboo territory had hit him like a bouncer’s taser.

She shifted her weight from one long, lean leg to the other. “Something in your brother’s condescending tone ticked me off. He reminded me of—”

She mashed her lips together and shook her head as if regretting her words and headed toward the dresser.

He rose, blocking her path and putting them face-to-face with barely a foot between them. “Of who?”

She tipped her head back, met his gaze and then sighed. “Of my father. He was a control freak, too. Very his-way-or-the-highway.”

The thought of Lauryn being browbeaten into submission lit a bonfire of anger in Adam’s belly. Was that why she was so conservative and quiet now?

“Lauryn, I don’t need you to fight my battles for me,” he said softly.

“I’m sure you don’t.” She ducked around him, tossed her dress over the back of his valet chair, and then with her back to him, dug around in her suitcase as if she’d find buried treasure inside.
