Chapter Ten

She was awake but kept her eyes closed. Her highly accurate body clock told her it was still early. Very early. But she couldn‟t sleep a moment more. There was too much to stew over.

Cataclysmic sex for one thing...she would never be the same.

So that was „dealing with it‟, huh? She flexed her thigh muscles experimentally...just a touch.

Yep, she definitely felt dealt with. James was incredible...as intense and in charge in the bedroom as he was in the boardroom. And already the runny-honey feeling inside was spreading, together with the lick of desire. She wanted to deal with him some too. So much for ensuring he was as much a slave to it as she was...she hadn‟t really got the chance last night.

She closed her eyes tighter. Last night. The party. Her screw-up. His challenge for another party.

Ugh.

When she finally opened her eyes she saw he was propped up on his elbow, studying her...alert, despite the unshaven look, the rumpled hair.

„Regrets?‟ he asked straight out.

„No.‟ Not sleeping with him. She could never regret that. Other elements? Maybe.

His mouth twisted into that cynical smile she didn‟t like so much. „Of course. You‟re not the kind of person to have regrets.‟

Did he still think she didn‟t feel things deeply? That she was completely shallow...just the party princess? She burrowed further under the sheet. Well, she wasn‟t going to admit to how deeply she‟d felt a connection with him last night. How wonderful he‟d made her feel.

„You think?‟ She tightened up. It wasn‟t from anticipation. „Why, do you?‟

„No. Not about that.‟

OK. What, then? Something was clearly on his mind. But he wasn‟t about to share either. Not thoughts, not emotion. But maybe his body. The gold flecks had lit in his eyes.

„You know it was too good an experience not to be repeated,‟ he said softly.

Oh, she knew. She also knew he was ready for a repeat right now. And despite his blinkered vision of her, she couldn‟t refuse. Her body softened, her muscles ached to move. She quelled the delicious urge to stretch out every limb and curl her toes, savouring the tension as it knotted inside. And frankly she‟d be more than happy to forget the party mess for a few more moments.

His fingers traced over her shoulders. „You don‟t do serious.‟

He wasn‟t asking. Apparently it was a given. Who said she didn‟t do serious? Admittedly up till now she hadn‟t. But things could change. Someone could make her feel differently about that. Lots of things felt unstable right now.

His gaze lifted from where he‟d been watching his hand slide beneath the sheet along her breastbone, and he seemed to ensure he had her attention. „I don‟t do serious either.‟

„No.‟ But she didn‟t quite believe him. While he could flirt and be fun James was intense and focused and diligent and he‟d do serious...with the right woman. It was just that she wasn‟t the right woman and he was making sure she knew that.

Fine. She wouldn‟t want serious with him anyway.
