Valerie opened her eyes and found herself staring at Roxy’s furry face. She smiled wryly at the sight of her pitiful eyes, and then Roxy shifted and twisted a bit so that she could scratch her ear with her back paw.

“Damn,” Valerie breathed.

“What is it?”

Glancing around at Anders’s question, Valerie smiled shyly when she saw that she was lying on her back with her head on his arm while he lay on his side, peering at her sleepily. The last thing she remembered was being splayed across the bed sideways with him between her legs. She supposed he’d moved her again after she’d—“I fainted again.”

Anders smiled slowly. “Would that be due to my superior skill as a lover?”

Valerie chuckled at the smug look on his face, but said, “I guess it must be . . . that and my wound. Maybe I haven’t built my blood back up yet.”

“Maybe,” he said mildly.

A whine from Roxy drew her attention again and Valerie began to shift the sheets and blankets aside with a sigh, but paused when she recalled that she was naked.

“Shy?” Anders teased lightly as he got up, completely, gloriously, and unabashedly nude.

“A little,” Valerie admitted, her eyes roaming over his body. Damn, the man was beautiful. He was like a Greek god, muscles rippling under unblemished mocha skin. How did she dare show her own less-than-perfect body to him?

“Here.”

Valerie managed to drag her eyes up to his face, but paused along the way as she noted the clothes he was holding out.

“You go ahead and dress. I need to use the bathroom,” he said.

Valerie watched him cross the room, her eyes fused to his tight tush as he walked. Damn. This just wasn’t fair. The man had a nicer behind than she did. And those legs? Wow. When the bathroom door closed, cutting off her view, Valerie gave her head a small shake and turned her attention to dressing as quickly as she could. She had no idea how long he’d be in the bathroom.

Anders took long enough that Valerie had dressed, brushed her hair and was hooking Roxy’s leash to her when he came out of the bathroom. Much to her amazement, he too was dressed. He must have taken his clothes into the bathroom with him earlier. How had she missed that? She didn’t have to wonder hard about it. She’d been so busy ogling his butt, he could have been wearing a moose head and she wouldn’t have noticed, Valerie acknowledged wryly.

“I imagine Roxy has to go out,” Anders commented as he approached.

“Yes. Unfortunately, so do I,” Valerie said as he paused in front of her.

“I can take her out while you use the bathroom,” he offered, taking the lead from her.

“Thank you,” she said with sincere gratitude. She really had to go. “I’ll be down in just a minute.”

“No hurry,” he assured her, heading for the door with Roxy trotting dutifully behind him. “Take a shower if you want.”

Valerie didn’t wait to see him leave, but immediately headed for the bathroom.
