Chapter Twelve

The next morning, Sean lifted his eyelids and scanned the open-space suite at the Pendragon Hotel. Yesterday might have been the longest day of his life with more ups and downs than a roller coaster, but he wasn’t complaining. The day had turned out great. Sex with Emily was even better than he’d remembered. Their chemistry was incredible. No other woman came close.

He gazed at her, sleeping beside him. She was on her stomach, and the sheet had slipped down, revealing a partial view of her smooth, creamy white bottom. He wanted to see more. Carefully, so he wouldn’t wake her, he caught the sheet between two fingers and tugged.

Immediately, she reached back to swat his hand away. She peered through a tangle of hair as she rolled to her side and rearranged the sheet to cover her lovely round breasts. A bit late for modesty, he thought, but he said nothing. He wanted another bout of sex, and he was fairly sure she was ready for more of the same.

“Time?” she asked.

He stretched his neck so he could see the decorative clock on the bedside table. The combination of chrome circles and squares showed the time in the upper-left corner.

“Eight forty-six.” He looked past the archway into the living room, where faint light appeared around the shades. “The sun’s up.”

“I thought we were going to run out the door early and have breakfast with Levine.”

“It’ll have to be brunch. Maybe even lunch.” He made a grab for her, but she evaded him. “About last night...”

“Enough said.” She climbed out of bed with the sheet wrapped around her. “I’m glad we got that out of the way.”

She made wonderful sex sound like a distasteful chore. Surely he’d heard her wrong. “Are you talking about us? You and me? About what happened last night?”

“It was just sex.”

“Sure, and Everest is just a mountain. The Lamborghini is just a car.”

“The tension was building between us, and we had to relieve it. That’s what last night was about.” With one hand, she clutched the sheet while the other rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. “I promise you—it’s never going to happen again.”

She pivoted, squared her shoulders and marched into the bathroom while he sat on the bed, gaping as he watched her hasty retreat. Never going to happen again? He’d be damned if he believed her. She might as well tell the birds not to sing and the fish not to swim. He could not deny his nature, and his inner voice told him to have sex with her as soon and as often as possible.

His number one job, however, was keeping her safe, and meeting with Special Agent Greg Levine was a good place to start. Sean decided not to make the phone call to set the time and the place until he and Emily were near the restaurant; he didn’t want Levine to have time to plan ahead.

After they were dressed, he gave her a glance, pretending not to notice how tiny her waist looked in the belted slacks that hugged her bottom.
