Chapter Eleven

I stirred slightly and opened my eyes slowly. Megan was bent down near my bed doing something. “Megs?”

“Go back to sleep, Elizabeth,” she whispered.

My head was pounding, so it sounded like a good idea to me. I let my head sink back into the pillow and drifted off slowly. I was just this side of sleep when I heard light murmuring. I tried to open my eyes but I was afraid my head would split open. It already felt as though someone had been prying at it with a crowbar. Someone tapped my arm and I peeked out at them reluctantly, ready and willing to bite if necessary.

Paige sat on the edge of my bed holding a glass of water in her hand and a bottle of aspirin in the other. “Here--,” she handed me three tablets, “--take these and then get some rest.”

I obeyed and no sooner did she leave the room then I was out again. When I drifted awake again, I felt something warm pressed against me. My back was ice cold in comparison. Needing to warm myself, I snuggled against the warmth. It was familiar. I moved in closer, until I could go no further.

Shifting slightly against him, my bare leg brushed over his silk pajama bottoms and an unpleasant thought occurred. “You did wear something didn’t you? Don’t lie. I’ll check the trash. I know how you are and my answer has not and will not change. No slipping anything in me without a condom.”

He tightened and I ran my fingers over his smooth chest lightly. “When did you shave your chest? I’ve only been after you to do that for months.”

“Hmm,” he murmured so light I almost didn’t hear him.

I yawned and arched my back, pressing my bare breasts to him as I went. Rolling over onto my side, I snuggled back against him. “Before you fall back asleep and while you’re almost naked and can’t be behind a suit to yell at me—I’m going to turn a formal resignation in when I get back. Now, before you say a word just hear me out. The pressure at work about us is to the point I dread going in. It’s for the best that I move on. I live below my means and my
