Lane knew the moment Cassie woke up because he was already awake. Awake and thinking about that kiss. He’d been staring at the ceiling for at least an hour, wishing he could do something about the erection that wouldn’t give up this morning.

He’d been afraid to move and wake her before she was ready. She needed the rest. Worse, he wasn’t sure how she might react to his rather obvious arousal. Thank God they weren’t sharing the bed. In that scenario, he wouldn’t trust his self-control.

Last night he’d held her in his arms and everything had felt right. Perfect. She’d been eager and responsive. Remembering the way she pressed against him wasn’t helping his current predicament.

If his buddies ever learned he’d turned her down—insisting on sleep over sex—he’d never hear the end of it. Finally, something that cooled his ardor a bit.

None of them wasted time bragging about one conquest or another, so he didn’t have cause to be truly worried. Although he’d have to be careful around Harlan. His friend had a way of looking through a man and knowing stuff he shouldn’t know.

“You awake?” Cassie’s voice, husky from sleep, stirred him up all over again.

“I am.” He propped himself up on one elbow. “Rested?”

“Yes.” The covers shifted as she stretched. “Thank you.” A moment later, she was peering at him over the end of the bed. “Did you get any sleep?”

Her hair tumbled in loose waves around her face, over her shoulders. Wouldn’t take much to reach out and wind those silky strands around his fingers. Would take even less to tumble her back, cover her, and make it a morning to remember.

Down boy.

“I slept fine.” For about four hours. Enough to take the edge off and recharge. His fingers stroked across hers. Too tempting. He pulled back. They had things to do today.

“I like your tattoo,” she said, pointing to his shoulder.

“Thanks.” There were times when he forgot about the compass and the curling wave cutting through the middle of it. His only reminder of home these days. “You want the shower first?”

She sat up on her knees. “No! New rule: whoever sleeps on the floor gets the bathroom first.”

“Fine. But avert your eyes,” he warned. “I’m not dressed.”

He rolled to his feet and felt her gaze on him. As tender and hot as her touch last night. Glancing back, he chuckled. “See something you like?”

“Absolutely everything.” She slowly dragged her eyes up to meet his. Something shifted in her expression and he would’ve given up a limb to know what she was thinking. Since when did he have such an intense need to know a woman inside and out?

“Special,” he murmured to himself, walking away from her.

He had to leave the personal queries for later. Had to ignore the sizzling chemistry between them. For now.

Once they got some answers out of Drake, he would reassess. He didn’t want to tangle this up and complicate things. He needed her to be confident in him and his abilities.
