Chapter Six

Lily opened her eyes, trying to focus on the strange sheet under her head. It was warm, flesh-colored and moving. She sucked in a breath and tried to look up covertly.

Killian was watching her, his breathing even and deep. She wondered how long he’d lain awake, allowing her to use him as a pillow.

“Morning, sweetness.”

“Hey.” She licked her lips and wiggled her hips slightly, fighting to mask her wince and failing.

“Sore?”

She shook her head and Killian rolled his eyes at her outright lie. “Of course you are. What do you say I fill the tub with hot water and bubbles? You can have a nice long soak while I make you some breakfast.”

She sighed. That sounded heavenly—mainly because she could really use some time alone to get her thoughts in order. “I’d like that.” She glanced behind her, aware the other side of the bed was empty. “Where’s Justin?”

“He had to run a couple errands. Got an early start.”

She looked at the clock. It was nearly twelve. “You call noon an early start?”

Killian chuckled. “That’s about as early as we were going to manage today. You wore us out last night.”

“Yeah, well, considering I’m actually the last person to wake up, I think I may win in the ‘worn out’ category.”

She agreed with his assessment. “I want to stay longer.”

He sat up, pulling her along with him. He leaned forward to kiss her. “I’ll start running the water. Why don’t you dig through the top drawer in that dresser over there and see if you can’t find a T-shirt to wear. I doubt you wanna put those fancy clothes back on and since we’re just hanging out today, I sort of like the idea of you walking around in my shirt.”

She grinned. “Sounds great.”

He walked out of the room and she swallowed past the lump clogging her throat.

What the hell was she doing? Staying longer was stupid, utterly stupid. She’d wanted Justin and Killian for ten years and she’d told herself she could handle one night. Just one night to live out her wicked fantasies before returning to the real world, a bit lonelier perhaps, but at least she wouldn’t be suffering anymore from the damn regret that had plagued her this past decade.

She’d known the words she wanted to use to describe last night to Killian, but all of them would have given her away, revealed far too much. The dream of being with K
