HOW ARE YOU FEELING?” Gage asked as he polished off the steak and eggs he’d ordered in the posh hotel dining room.

Disgraced, debased and degraded. “A little better,” Emma mumbled into her coffee cup as she tried to avoid looking at the butter-slathered English muffin on her plate. I will never live down my humiliation. It will haunt my dreams until the end of time.

“Did you sleep okay at least?” he asked.

“I slept like a stone.” And woke up in my underwear.

“That’s good.” He motioned to the waitress for their check. “I was worried, you know, because of, well.”

“Because of how much I drank.”

He nodded.

“Look, I’m really embarrassed about that.”

“No need to be embarrassed.”

No need to be embarrassed about getting drunk and... doing what she’d done with him? “That’s never happened to me before.” None of it. “I never, um, lost control like that.”

A knowing flicker in his eyes told her he knew she was talking about more than drinking too much and passing out. “Losing control once in a while is a healthy thing. Everyone should let loose periodically. It’s like releasing a little steam from the valve.”

“Yeah, well, I think I may have blown a gasket last night.”

“I liked it.” He smiled. “A lot. I mean, the part before you became comatose.”

That was reassuring, but since she had no desire whatsoever to explore in conversation with Gage Foster the subject of last night’s frolics on the chaise longue, Emma changed the subject. “I’m going home now—to my house in Queens. Thank you for breakfast. Thank you for... everything. For saving my life.”

“You already thanked me for that.” He clicked the pen the waitress handed him and signed for their meal.

“It’s the kind of thing you’re allowed to thank someone for more than once,” she insisted. “It’s a pretty big deal, when someone jumps in front of a train to save you. I just wanted you to know that I think you’re...”

He looked up, his gaze riveted on her. The waitress reached for the slip and the pen; he handed them over without looking away from Emma.

You’re funny and passionate and smart and sexy, and I’m crazy about you. “You’re a good man,” Emma said quietly. “There aren’t too many of them around. I haven’t met too many, anyway.”

“Thanks.” He still hadn’t stopped looking at her with those hypnotically blue eyes of his.

“I’ve got to go,” she managed to say, rising from the table and plucking the gold raincoat off the back of her chair. She glanced around for her bag before remembering that it was gone and she’d probably never see it or its contents again. Well, she’d managed to get along without it for what—a good sixteen, seventeen hours already. As cold-turkey withdrawals went, this really wasn’t so bad. She missed her bra and panties a little bit more, but in a way it was kind of... exciting, not having them on. The silk lining of her suit felt heavy and slick and sexy against her bare flesh.
