"Are you sure this is the right place?" I asked as he pulled into a parking lot with potholes large enough to bottom out a car.

The motel looked dubious at best. The paint was cracked and peeling and wilted plants lined the building.

After we parked in one of the few pothole-free areas, we went inside and got ourselves a room. With the grimy key in hand, Alex opened the door to our undoubtedly luxurious suite. He took one step inside and froze in place.

"What is it?" I took a deep breath but didn't smell anything that set off alarms. Based on the exterior, I'd expected mildew and lingering body odor, not the surprisingly clean scent that touched my nose. Even though the front desk area was clean, that wasn't a guarantee that the room would be.

"It's nothing crazy." Alex stepped to the side so I could walk in. "But it looks like we've only got one bed."

My eyes followed his. Suddenly, I wasn't sleepy anymore. My skin felt tight and flushed. I looked at Alex and his gaze met mine. His eyes were glowing brightly, as they had during the dinner he made me.

We were alone, in a bedroom, facing who-knows-what. Suddenly, I wanted to have all that he'd been promising me. All those offers to ease my stress, those touches and looks that held such heat. I didn't know what tomorrow would bring, but I knew that I wanted to live right now.

"Are you actually tired?" I asked, doing my best to keep my tone even.

He slowly shook his head. I bit my lower lip, and his eyes dropped down to my mouth.

"Alex—"

"Yeah?"

"I'm not either. I'm full of energy." I looked down as I toed off one shoe, then the other.

Alex chuckled. "I could help you burn some of that energy."

I looked up at him from under my lashes and took a deep breath. I watched his eyes drop to my chest, then snap back to my gaze. A slow smile curved my lips as I shut the door behind me. I dropped my duffle beside the door and flipped the lock.

"Well, if you're going to offer . . ." I slowly raised my hands to my shirt and undid the top button.

"Sophie?" Alex seemed taken aback. I knew he hadn't expected me to respond this way. He was so used to me pushing him away, but not tonight. Tonight, I needed the release.

I undid the next button and took a step closer to him. As I slid each button out of its hole, his eyes followed my hands as if his life depended upon it.

When I undid the last button, he caught his breath. Instead of giving him what he expected, my hands went to my belt.

"Sophie," Alex whispered.

I slowly undid the buckle. The leather rasped as I pulled it out. My hands went to the button on my pants. I paused as Alex took a step forward. His amber eyes blazed with desire.

I held up a hand and shook my finger at him.
