Chapter Six

The room lay in darkness when Stephanie awoke. She had allowed Meechi to leave the room earlier but forbade her to go outside. Stephanie pulled her shoes on and put her face close to the clock on the nightstand. The time read after midnight. She hurried across to the door leading to Meechi’s room and passed through it. A lamp hadn’t been turned off, so she picked out the small lump on the bed as her daughter, and the closer she moved to her, she heard the soft breathing. She sighed in relief. After removing the book Meechi clutched from her fingers and placing it on the nightstand, Stephanie kissed her baby and twisted the light switch. She checked the lock on Meechi’s door, although a lock hadn’t kept Hawke from her room earlier.

Back in her room, Stephanie paused. After sleeping so long, she wasn’t tired. A desire to see Hawke came over her. After all, he would be gone tomorrow, and there was no telling when he would return. If she decided to leave, it would be without his knowledge, and he wouldn’t know where she had gone. Spending time with him for one night might not be such a bad idea.

She left her room and crossed the hall to his. A light knock brought no answer, so she tried the knob and found the door unlocked. Sucking in a deep breath, she walked in. His bed lay empty. Disappointment descended over Stephanie until she heard the shower running. She waited, unsure of whether to go or stay. If he didn’t expect guests, he might come out of the bathroom naked. She hadn’t come with an eye toward sex with him. Had she? Who am I lying to here?

Hawke might reject her again and tell her to go back to her room. She might look like an idiot when he fed her some line about it not being the right time or whatever. Still, she crept farther into the room and fingered the buttons on her top. His bed lay just a few feet away, the bath to the right. He’d shut the door, but not all the way for it to latch. Through the gap, she caught a shadow of movement, and his male scent wafted on the air.

Her heart hammered, and her throat dried. She swallowed. If she didn’t go through with it now, she might regret it later. Squaring her shoulders, she began unbuttoning her blouse and then pushed it over her shoulders. Her breasts hid behind a lacy pink bra, her favorite color. He might have been able to tell her no before, but he wouldn’t with her naked.

Jeans pooled at her feet, she stepped out of them and kicked them to the side. She removed her bra, panties, and socks. How cliché was she to climb into his bed and slip under the covers? Rather than that, she positioned herself on top and struck a couple of poses. An anxious giggle escaped her. I really have lost my marbles trying to seduce a man with so much going wrong in my life.
