Chapter Five

Travel didn’t come easily to Adrian. He liked his office and his condo and having his own things around him so, whether by plane or by car, going away from home was slightly wrenching for him.

Now, for the first time, he was dragging his feet about going home. Except for the fact it couldn’t last, the weekend had been damn near perfect and he would have given anything to extend it.

“You look very serious,” Rachel said, pushing the room service cart toward the door. They were still in blue robes after their very long shower, her hair was wrapped in a towel and her feet were bare, which he found incredibly sexy.

Maybe because it felt so real. It was a domestic scene that tugged at his heart and made him start wanting things he hadn’t given a lot of thought to before. He knew someday he would find a wife and have some kids, but his focus had been on his business. Now his focus was firmly on the woman who was so comfortable and natural with him.

“Just wondering about the road conditions,” he lied.

He didn’t think he’d ever get tired of hearing her laugh. “You’re not getting out of work that easy. The roads are fine and we have to go home today.”

It wasn’t the work. He loved his work, which probably had a lot to do with how good at it he was. He didn’t want to leave this cocoon of intimacy he and Rachel had made.

He made a fake coughing sound. “I think I’m coming down with something.”

“I’m not playing doctor with you.”

Now he laughed, sitting on the edge of the bed. “I was trying to get out of work, but I’m always up for role-playing. You can be the hot blonde in the bar and I’ll be the stranger who plies her with drinks and bad jokes.”

“Bad jokes? That would never work.”

He snagged her around the waist as she walked by and they tumbled backward on the bed. The towel on her head slipped, freeing a curtain of wet, tangled hair. “Some women would find that sexy.”

“I recommend plying her with the drinks first and then the bad jokes.”

“Is that why you came upstairs with me? Because I plied you with drinks?”

She kissed the tip of his nose, which made him chuckle. “I came upstairs with you because you’re sexy and funny and I wanted you. Obviously the chemistry boiled over and we had to get it out of our systems.”

“It’s still boiling.”

“I can feel that. You’d think a hotel like this would have thicker bathrobes.”

“Maybe I should see a doctor about it.”

She rolled her eyes. “I’m still not playing doctor with you.”

“Okay.” There was no way he was getting off the bed while her robe was teasing him with glimpses of skin. “I could be a pirate and you could be my serving wench.”

“No.” She was trying not to smile at him, but he knew the battle was almost lost. “How about I be the woman with a ton of stuff to pack and you be the guy who takes my luggage to the car.
