Ray woke with a sense of foreboding in his gut. Lying there with his eyes partially opened, he tried to analyze the source of his unease. The air conditioner hummed as usual, and the traffic on the highway sounded right for the time—almost 9:00 a.m. according to the digital clock on the night stand.

Grace.

He sat up, scanning the room. Where was she? The door to the bathroom stood ajar, but there were no sounds issuing from it. She’d left the room. He felt her absence in his very marrow. But she wasn’t long gone; he could almost feel the echo of her.

Panic blossomed in his chest. Dammit, what was she doing, going out there all alone?

Calm down, Morgan. She’d probably just run across the parking lot to the café for her beloved coffee. He’d wander over there and give her an escort back. He grabbed his jeans and hauled them on.

Man, oh, man, she was something last night. As he pulled an enormous black t-shirt over his head, he thought about what they’d done together. Hell, he was half-hard again, he realized, and laughed.

Hard to believe, especially after that last time. In the full light of morning, she’d shed her shyness to climb astride him, taking his aching need into her warm woman’s body. He’d let her control their union that time, and she’d rewarded him by making slow, sweet, mind-blinding love to him.

Half-hard, hell. Looking down at the decided tent pole effect he’d achieved, he laughed. Okay, score one for the baggy-assed pants.

To give things a minute to settle down, he brushed his teeth quickly and ran a comb through his hair, grinning at his reflection. He looked years younger, and it had little to do with the damned yellow hair.

Nor was it just the sex, though that had been great.

No, correction—it had been fantastic.

But the biggest kick of all was that he loved her more now than ever, and she loved him right back. She’d said so.

He’d had another epiphany, too, one that put him on top of the world. The baby Grace carried was his. It had to be. This guy she’d met might have mesmerized his Gracie, but she wouldn’t have slept with him. Not yet.

No matter how wrongheaded Ray had been in trying to keep her … what? … pure? … she wouldn’t have done it. No matter how sexually stifled she might have felt, she’d need to make the break with him before she’d consummate the other relationship. That was just how she was made. If he hadn’t been so eaten up with jealousy, he’d have seen it sooner.

Yeah, they had some challenges ahead of them, all right, like staying alive until they could clear themselves. But as far as their marriage was concerned, they’d work things out. Anything was possible this morning.

Whistling, he found his wallet and shoved it in his pocket, then poked his feet into the hightop runners. He was halfway to the door when it struck him—his gun. It should have been in his shoe.
