CHAPTER SEVEN

DJ opened the door to her apartment and stepped inside. The living-room drapes were open, and she immediately noticed the soft white lights strung up over Lockwood House, softening the austere lines of the two-hundred-year-old home.

DJ took off her coat, hung it up on the stand next to the door and walked over to the window facing the street. “Lockwood House looks pretty.”

Matt moved to stand behind her, his arms banding her waist, his right hand covering her left breast in an action that was as familiar as it was exciting.

Matt rubbed his chin across her head. “By the way, doesn’t anyone in this neighborhood believe in colored lights?”

“Noah’s grandfather, and great grandfather, only ever used white lights to decorate Lockwood House, and the tradition has extended to all the houses in the community.”

“It seems like a nice place to live,” Matt murmured.

“It really is. A community of its own.” DJ tipped her head to the side so Matt had better access to her neck. God, she loved the way he used his tongue and teeth.

DJ reached down, found the switch to her lamp and warm, golden light filled the lounge. This wasn’t a hotel suite, she suddenly realized. Those were her books on the shelves. She’d chosen the painting above the mantel, the glass bowl on the coffee table.

This wasn’t neutral territory, this was her home. And Matt was in it and he was about to make love to her.

He was in her space again…in her very intimate, feminine space. If he left—when he left!—she’d have memories of him here, in her bed, naked in her apartment. She didn’t know if she wanted that, but then again, she couldn’t stop this…

Well, she could—of course she could. Matt would walk away if she asked him to, but she didn’t want to ask him anything.

Except, maybe, to inquire as to when he was planning to strip her down and kiss her in certain feminine, neglected places.

Matt pulled her sweater up and over her head. DJ felt the clasp of her bra spring apart. Then the material was a flash of blue on the floor and Matt’s tanned hands were on her pale flesh, kneading and squeezing her breasts, her nipples pushing into the palms of his hands.

DJ felt Matt step away from her and she turned around to watch him pull his shirt and sweater over his head, revealing a wide chest lightly covered with sun-kissed hair. His happy trail, darker and heavier, ran from his belly button and disappeared beneath the band of his jeans.

DJ’s hand drifted over his stomach, her fingers exploring the hard ridges of his six-pack. How he managed to maintain his fitness level and physique while working the crazy hours he did, God only knew.

“Bedroom,” Matt commanded, holding out his hand.

Darby led him up the stairs into the loft, wondering if he’d like her bedroom, decorated by Jules Brogan in cream and mint.

But Matt only had eyes for her—his gaze moved from her breast to her face and back again as he shucked his shoes and stepped out of his jeans.
