Chapter 23

I drifted awake, eyes blinking in the gathering brightness of the new dawn. I looked around, confused, before remembering where I was. And—Oh dear!—what I'd done last night. A hot blush burned my face. I sat up, looked around the empty bedroom. Sheer drapes covered the window, allowing soft sunlight to filter through. I found a clock on the nightstand and saw it was nearly seven thirty.

"Good lord, I'm late!" I jumped from the bed and shrieked as feet met cold hardwoods. I danced about like a naked lunatic while searching for my bag. Where was Tyler? Had he left for work already? Left me alone? Sudden anger drew a scowl. I hadn't expected him to bloody marry me, but—"Argh!" I blew out a breath. "Don't get angry. You knew what to expect, you idiot."

"And what would that be?" Tyler said from behind.

I shrieked and whirled, a shoe held defensively in my hand.

He laughed, walked over, and embraced me. His hand took the shoe and dropped it to the floor while his lips worked their magic on mine.

His chest muscles looked absolutely yummy. I leaned forward into his embrace, admiring the lines of his torso. One of my fingers absentmindedly traced the lines of his abs, sending thrills up my arm.

I abruptly remembered the time and looked up at him. "Bloody hell, I'm going to be late!"

He chuckled and smoothed my hair behind an ear. "Did I forget to tell you your schedule is different now?"

"It is?"

"You go in at nine, not at Sandra's time."

My body relaxed. "I do?" A smile stretched my lips. "That's the best news I've had all week!"

"The best news?" Hurt shone in his green eyes.

I laughed. "Okay, fine. Maybe not the best, but it certainly ranks rather high."

He kissed me again. "I know what we can do with the extra time."

My body heated. "Oh, you do?"

He bit my ear. "Absolutely." Gripping my hand, he led me toward a positively monstrous bathroom.

"Do you have a hair dryer?" I asked.

A laugh burst from his mouth. He opened a drawer and pulled out a large hair dryer. My eyes widened at the sight of the salon-rated beauty.

He regarded me quite seriously. "Will this do?"

"I love it."

He opened glass doors to a shower tiled with gray slate of some kind. It had to be the prettiest shower I'd seen, and certainly would be the best I'd ever used. Nozzles protruded from every wall, and there were several different shower heads—two that were of the downpour variety, and two normal-looking ones. Tyler turned a valve, adjusted the water for a moment, and then pulled me in.

I knew right then that this would be the best shower ever.

As we dried off afterward, I couldn't stop looking at him. At the way his abdominal muscles circled his waist before diving down. His sexy long legs, not overly muscular, but lean and toned like the rest of him. I felt acutely out of shape.

He hung up his towel. Put a finger under my chin and kissed me lightly.
