Chapter 10

The next morning, Lexi was awakened by the warmth of Quentin’s lips gently nibbling her earlobe. She sighed, a slow, delicious languor spreading through her limbs.

“Good morning.” His low, sleep-roughened voice rumbled against her ear, curling her toes and sending tingles to her stomach.

“Good morning.” Without opening her eyes she stretched, rubbing her backside along his warm, muscular body spooning hers.

Quentin groaned, his penis hardening against her bottom. “See what you started, woman? And I was gonna let you sleep in this morning.”

“How? By assaulting my earlobe?”

He chuckled softly, nuzzling her neck. His warm breath made her shiver. “Take a shower with me.”

She groaned protestingly. “But I want to sleep in. You promised I could.”

“I changed my mind.”

“Too bad,” she retorted with a smile. “It’s Tuesday. I don’t have class until this afternoon. It’s not my fault you have to be at the office at the crack of dawn, Counselor.”

“Don’t make me seduce you,” he warned silkily, brushing the head of his erection across her butt. As heat bloomed between her thighs, she laughed and scooted out of reach.

Growling softly, Quentin hooked his arm over her waist and turned her around to face him. Dark stubble covered his jaw, making him look so rakishly sexy her breath caught.

He leaned down and kissed her, a sweet, soft kiss that opened up something deep inside her. Something she was afraid to identify.

Lifting his head, he smiled into her eyes. “Hey, sweetness.”

She smiled shyly. “Hey.”

“Sleep good?”

“When? You kept me up practically all night.”

He grinned wolfishly. “I didn’t hear you complaining last night.”

And he never would, she thought. The man knew how to handle his business, and then some.

“So, listen, I was thinking we could stay in tonight,” he suggested, idly running his fingers through her tousled bangs. “Maybe order some takeout and rent a movie.”

Striving to match his casual tone, Lexi said, “Sure. That sounds like a plan.”

“Good.” His eyes glinted. “And I want a rain check on that shower, woman.”

“So bossy,” she grumbled.

“Damn straight.” He gave her a quick, hard kiss, then rolled away and swung his long legs over the edge of the bed. As he sauntered lazily to the master bathroom, Lexi propped her head in her hand and shamelessly admired the view of his naked backside—wide shoulders, round butt, powerful thighs and toned calves.

Um-mmm-umph!

As he disappeared into the bathroom, she let out a lusty sigh and fell back against her pillows with a lascivious grin.

Moments later she heard the blast of the shower. When Quentin began crooning an off-key version of “A Whole New World,” she stared at the door in delighted surprise, then dissolved into laughter.

As she snuggled back under the warm covers and tried to grab a few more winks of sleep, Quentin’s cell phone buzzed on the bedside table, signaling that he had an incoming text message.

Lexi ignored it and closed her eyes.

Half a minute later, she heard another buzz. She opened her eyes and leveled a glare at the phone. It wasn’t his BlackBerry, which he reserved for business.
