CHAPTER SIX

Phoenix lay on the bed beside Tilly and watched her sleep. It wasn’t very comfortable with both of them lying on their sides and a good portion of his body hanging off the side of the bed. Still, there wasn’t another place in the world he’d rather be. No king-sized deluxe mattress could be more inviting then sharing this ancient, lumpy twin-sized one with Tilly.

They’d found sheets and a blanket in the closet and, surprisingly, they weren’t very musty at all. He’d taken them outside and shaken them out just in case a spider or two had decided to take up residence. He’d slept in worse places. And having Tilly next to him all night made the bed just about perfect.

The sun had risen and was shining in the window of her childhood bedroom. It was morning, but they’d been up until late. Tilly was worried about her friend. They both were. But there was nothing they could do to help Jessica. That was the most difficult thing for a woman like Tilly to accept. He knew there was nothing she wouldn’t do to save her friend.

He trailed his fingers over Tilly’s bare shoulder. They’d taken a shower last night after they’d made love. The bathroom was cramped and the water barely a cold trickle, but he’d taken the time to soap her strong, slender arms, her shapely legs and every part in between. They’d heated the water with the sexual passion simmering between them.

His cock, which had already been awake before him, was hard and ready to perform yet again. This woman would always tempt him, would always hold his interest. She fascinated him with her quick mind and sharp wit. With her tough outer shell and the soft woman who lay beneath it.

Tilly murmured and shifted on the bed. Her elbow hit the wall behind her and she frowned. He ran his hand over her arm, rubbing the sting away. Her eyelids fluttered open and she stared at him. Then she smiled. It lit her entire face from the inside.

“Good morning.” He leaned down and pressed a kiss against her forehead. Then he rubbed his nose against hers.

The sheet rustled as she pushed herself up in a seated position. “What time is it?”

“Just after ten.” Like the rest of the warriors, he was always aware of what time of day it was.

“That’s late.” She scrubbed her hands over her face and shoved her hair out of her way. She’d taken it down last night when they’d showered and it hung down her back like a thick curtain.

“What time do you usually get up?” There was no detail he didn’t want to know about her, the big and the small.

“Butt crack of dawn.” She gave him a shove. “You gotta move. I need to go to the bathroom.”

Phoenix swung around and rose from the bed, not the least bit shy about the fact he wasn’t wearing any clothes. He stretched his arms over his head but had to bend them to keep from hitting the ceiling.
