THEY’D FOLLOWED UP mind-blowing elevator sex with sweet bedroom sex, and now Ty was leaning back against Claire’s matching pillow shams, wondering what the hell he was going to do about this. Because she’d gotten under his skin in a big way. A big way. And right then the only thing he could think to do about it was enjoy the flow and see where they were in two months. Because as much as he wanted the hell out of Dallas, leaving the city meant leaving the woman, and that reality was barreling down on him like a huge express train that he was doing his best to ignore.

Ideally, he’d take her with him. Show her Paris. London. See the world.

And, yeah, he’d suggest it.

But he already knew her well enough to know that she’d turn him down. Women who matched their pillow shams to their curtains to the prints hanging on the walls didn’t want to live out of a suitcase for nine months. That much, he accepted as a truism.

“You look lost,” she said, coming back into the room with two glasses of wine. “And I feel very decadent. Hanging out in bed in the middle of the afternoon, drinking wine.”

“I was lost in thoughts of you,” he said, “and right now, there’s no where I’d rather be than in bed.” He shifted, taking the wine from her, then scooting over to make room. She sat close, the tank top she wore thin enough the he could see the outline of her nipples, and despite the fact that he’d just tasted that particular fruit, his body hardened again with need. Down, boy. This wasn’t all about sex. Not with Claire. Not anymore.

Hell, maybe it never was. But the sex was damn sure a solid perk of whatever was growing between them.

“You still haven’t told me how you fared. Did you charm every lawyer in the city?”

“Of course. How could I not?” She laughed, then took a sip of wine. “Seriously, it was good. I met a lot of people, got some great leads, and also MJ had a terrific idea for this charity function we’re organizing for next month. Actually, I could use your help.”

“Me? What do you need?”

“You, actually,” she said with a wicked grin. “And maybe a friend.”

He narrowed his eyes. “Spit it out.”

“A bachelor auction. And if you could ask one of the actresses you know in L.A. to come out here for a ‘Lunch With the Star’ thing, we could let people bid and have a whole group. I know it’s a lot to ask, but I really think it would bring in the money, and it’s for a good cause.”

“Literacy.”

“Right.”

“And I’d be the bachelor.”

“Uh, yeah.”

“Would you bid?”

“Of course,” she said. “But if this works out the way we want, I’ll be out of the running pretty early on. Government attorney here, remember? That means government salary.”

“And it won’t kill you to watch me auctioned off to another woman?” He’d been teasing, but from the shadow that crossed her face, he realized that it really would bug her.
