Her body tightened and soared, then dissolved in a heap beneath him as he collapsed against her, his breath ragged against her throat.

Her hair had been tossed about and Marc moved a strand from where it stuck to her hot, damp cheek.

“You’re so beautiful,” he murmured. His hand lingered on her face as he looked down at her with a slightly bemused expression. “When I look at you, all I can think about are clean sheets on a big bed.”

“We seem to have done all right on the ground,” Tory said shyly, smoothing the frown between his eyes with one finger.

He took her hand from his face and kissed her fingertips before rolling onto his back, taking her with him. Her chin rested on his chest where his heart still beat an excited tattoo.

Turning her head so his chest pillowed her cheek, Tory smoothed her hand down the hard flat muscles, playing with the crisp dark hairs. She felt his lips against her hair. “Talk to me,” he said.

Perfectly relaxed and content in the semidarkness, Tory complied. She told him how, when she’d been a young child, her grandmother had been a night nurse, and the house had always been closed up and dark during the day so that the woman could sleep. She told him of her heartache over her grandmother’s refusal to adopt Alex or allow him to visit his sister.

Tory said little about her bookkeeping job and skirted around his question about whom she’d dated.

Her grandmother had refused to allow her the usual freedoms granted most teenagers and by the time she’d died and Tory was living on her own, she’d felt painfully out of sync with the men she met.

She nuzzled closer, blissfully happy. In a few hours he’d leave to go out and look for her brother. When the two men returned it would be time to say goodbye. She was going to treasure every second with him until then.
