The next morning, Monday, Christian was awakened by a shard of sunlight piercing his left eyelid. He squinted and ran his arm across the sheets in search of soft skin. Instead his fingers encountered a pillow and a part of the bunched-up sheet on the empty side of the bed. He reached for his phone, opened one eye fully to read the time. It was early, just eight o’clock. Considering the horizontal cardio they’d engaged in for hours the previous night, it was much too early to get up. But the custom king-size was lonely without her, so he rolled out of bed, slipped on a pair of shorts and went in search of Lauren.

She was in the kitchen, barefoot except for the ankle brace, wearing the skimpy negligee he’d removed last night. He slid up behind her, squeezed her luscious booty before pulling her back against him and nuzzling her neck.

“Hey,” she cooed, moving out of his grasp.

A subtle move, but Christian noticed. Last night she only moved toward him, not away.

“Was it something I said?” he asked lightly. “Morning breath?” He cupped his hand and blew into it.

“No, silly.”

The teapot sounded. He watched Lauren pour the scalding water over a tea bag.

“Want some?”

“Sure, why not?”

He walked over to a bar chair and eased into it, content for the moment to watch Lauren looking all kinds of sexy in the domestic scene.

“Black or green?”

His eyes narrowed. “Definitely black.”

She smiled, licked her lips. “You’re talking about the tea, right?”

“I’m so not talking about the tea, but I’ll have that black, too.”

She fixed the tea and brought the mugs over to where he sat, along with lemons and agave she’d found in the fridge. For several seconds they sat side by side, the only sound that of silverware clanking against china, soft blows and tiny sips.

Whether a personal or professional matter, Christian believed in the direct approach. So he turned to Lauren, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and allowed his fingers to linger in her gorgeous curls. “What’s going on in there?”

“A lot of thinking.”

“About?”

She glanced at him. “You. This. Everything between us—the attraction, the hot sex, the family dynamic with our mothers being friends, me working for Victoria...potentially working with you.”

“So you’re considering my offer.”

“You made an offer?” she murmured. “I don’t recall.”

“I asked the question of whether you’d consider working with me, or more specifically, working on the CANN Island campaign.” He caught her gaze. “Are you?”

“I’d be interested in working under contract. I’d rather do that than become an employee right now.”

“That could happen.”

She nodded. “Which is why I woke up thinking that while the fireworks we create in bed could probably be declared illegal in a few countries and several states...”

He ran his fingers up her arm and watched goose bumps pop up in their wake.

“Like that,” she breathed, and moved her arm. “I think it’s probably best for now that we go back to just being friends.”

“No benefits?”

“Well, maybe every now and then,” she murmured with a face that made him laugh.
