Chapter Ten

“Mind if I make a quick bathroom stop?” Dena pointed to the restroom sign down a hallway before the exit.

“Not at all.”

“Thanks. I’ll be quick.” She hustled down the hallway and pushed open the door to the women’s restroom. She darted into the first stall, not wanting to keep Carter waiting. Eagerness filled her as she thought about what they’d do once they got back to her house. She’d pretty much wanted to engage in some naked activities from the moment Carter had shown up at her door.

Carter. She sighed aloud as she used the toilet. When she’d opened her front door earlier this evening and found Carter there, dressed in black dress pants, a hunter green button-down shirt, and a black and gray sports coat, she’d instantly wanted all those pieces of clothing to vanish. She wanted the man standing before her in nothing but what his maker had given him.

That’s next on the night’s agenda. She just had to finish up in the bathroom and they’d be on their way to her house where they’d be shouting each other’s names in no time.

Dena washed her hands, did a quick finger-comb of her hair, and applied a fresh coat of lip gloss before coming back out to find Carter. The hallway was less crowded than when she’d first come into the restroom, but a few people still littered the area.

She glanced down the hallway to see Carter leaning against a column. He wasn’t aware she was watching him and it was a fun game to witness him pulling his glasses off, wiping the lenses on his shirt, and putting them back on the bridge of his nose. He did a breath check by puffing some air into his palm then smelling it and Dena had to contain her laughter. He had nothing to worry about. He had a taste to him that was all vintage Carter Bennett—a taste she’d committed to memory after their first kiss all those months ago.

A kiss she had definitely become addicted to, especially after this week. After making love with him.

She took a step, wanting to be by his side again more than anywhere else in the world. As she made her way down the hallway, however, a tall man coming out of the men’s restroom turned toward her instead of toward the exit. In a matter of a second, she found herself being pushed backward by the man.

“Excuse me,” she said, thinking the man had made a wrong turn and hadn’t seen her.

When he didn’t get out of her way but grabbed her wrist instead, real panic surged through her.

“Let go of me!” She pounded her fist against his arm, but his grip didn’t loosen. Her heartbeat boomed in her ears and her vision got spotty.

Not again. She had trouble swallowing. An all-over sweat coated her body.

“Tim!” A female’s voice cut through Dena’s terror. “Tim!”

Suddenly, Tim lurched forward, falling and pulling Dena to the ground. She ended up trapped beneath him and a scream tore out of her.
