Quinn shifted next to him and stretched. He must’ve dozed off. Shadows bathed the room, though not yet night. She rolled away from him onto her back, gripping the sheet at her chest, and sighed.

It didn’t sound like a contented, happy sigh either. “What?” he asked, propping on an elbow.

Her arm lay across her face, concealing her eyes. “It was real. I didn’t dream it.”

Ryan ran a hand over her stomach and inched her closer. “So you dream about me. This was completely real.” He paused and pushed her arm away. “Regretting it?”

“I don’t know. I told you I’m not good at the friends with benefits thing.”

“Trust me. You’re plenty good.”

She sat up, still clutching the sheet. “I’m going to get water. Want some?”

“Sure.” He slid toward the headboard and propped pillows behind him. He watched as she cautiously slid off the bed and grabbed a T-shirt to wear.

What was he doing? Did he think he’d convince her to abandon her mission to get pregnant so she could start a relationship with him? Griff would smack him if he heard what was going on in Ryan’s head.

Quinn returned, holding two bottles of water. Her short hair was mussed and her skin glowed. Regardless of her mental turmoil, physically, she looked happy.

He cracked open the bottle she offered and let the icy liquid run down his throat. “So what’s your plan?”

“For what?” she asked, covering herself with the sheet.

He lay uncovered and relaxed. “For the photographer.”

Her face darkened with sadness. Shit. She lifted one shoulder in response and gulped some water.

Ryan leaned closer and kissed her shoulder. “Want me to beat him up? Then we can destroy the pictures.”

She chuckled. “He didn’t do anything wrong. The pictures aren’t real. It’s all digital.”

“What do you mean?” Suspicion crept into his mind.

“He didn’t print the pictures. I viewed them on his computer.”

She didn’t see it. Not even the possibility yet. But some guy had naked pictures of her on his computer. He could do whatever he wanted with them. It would destroy her completely.

Quinn looked fully in his eyes. “What’s wrong?”

He forced a smile. “Nothing. I’m starving. I was preoccupied at lunchtime. Let’s order food. Chinese work for you?”

“Sure.”

“You have a phonebook?”

“In the drawer to the right of the fridge I have menus for different places.”

“What do you want?” he asked, getting off the bed.

“Whatever you order is fine. I’m going to take a shower. Make yourself at home.”

Ryan didn’t bother with clothes and walked downstairs to the kitchen. She didn’t move from the bed until he left the room. Her reservation and modesty must have returned.

He pulled a menu from the drawer and used her phone to place an order. When he returned the flyer, his eyes landed on her list. Number eight—“Have a night of mind-blowing sex with multiple orgasms.”— had the precise X over the number and a smiley face after it. He’d earned the descriptor of mind-blowing and a smiley face and he hadn’t even been trying.
