Chapter Ten

For the second morning in a row, Dezra awoke in the warm, strong embrace of a gorgeous man. Only this time the heat was more intense, not only due to the skin-to-skin contact but the memories of their limbs tangled together as he thrust deep inside her.

Only for a few blissful minutes was she able to bask in the afterglow before reality shone its harsh, bleak light on the matter. Sure, Curt might have pointed out examples of colleagues whose relationships were successful, but that was still the exception rather than the rule. Who knew how those relationships would work out? And things would be even more challenging for her and Curt, what with them both being recovering addicts while trying to establish their working style.

And, did Curt really want to start a band with her? What if he’d only acted like it so that he could sleep with her? Could she really trust what seemed like a bond that had sprung up between them? Had that ever worked out in the past?

Her cacophony of worrisome thoughts brought another craving for a drink, but Dezra closed her eyes and took deep breaths until the craving subsided. Like one glass of wine could make all of her problems vanish. Then she reluctantly disengaged herself from Curt’s embrace. The only way to keep the cravings away was to stay busy.

Curt mumbled what sounded like a protest before he rolled over, holding tight to the blankets, looking painfully adorable in his sleep. Dezra grinned. He wasn’t kidding when he said he wasn’t a morning person.

Leaving him in bed, she got a pot of coffee brewing and finished decorating the tree. She then got the turkey out of the freezer and put it in the fridge to start thawing. Only three more days until Christmas. She couldn’t stuff a rock-hard bird.

Curt wandered into the kitchen sometime later, rubbing his sleepy eyes. Dezra surprised him with a breakfast of toasted bagels and an omelette, and a steaming cup of coffee.

“Wow,” he said with what looked like genuine awe. “I don’t think I’ve ever had a woman cook breakfast for me aside from my mom.”

Pleasure suffused Dezra at his words, until she thought of just how big of a deal such a thing might be for him. Were they walking a fine line? Would he change his mind about working with her? What if making love with him last night would mess everything up?

Taking a sip of her coffee, she forced composure. “So, I was thinking we could try to turn that riff you played the other day into a song. I mean, figure out all the instrumentation. If you’re staying. I figure neither of us has anything else to do here.”

Curt raised a brow. “I suppose we could do that.”

Dezra’s heart skipped a beat. What was his issue? Something in his tone was off, though he polished off his food cheerfully enough.

He stopped her afterward, placing a hand on her shoulder as they headed to where Dezra had set up the instruments.
