CHAPTER EIGHT

SUNLIGHT BLAZED AGAINST Travis’s eyelids.

He groaned, rolled onto his belly...

And almost fell off the bed.

His eyes flew open; his brain took survey. Narrow room Narrow bed. Narrow window. What the hell...?

Then, he remembered.

Jennie. Bringing her home. Making love to her, how incredible it had been.

And hours later, she’d been so ill. That migraine...

“Jennie,” he said, as he shot to his feet.

He’d stayed the night to take care of her. Some job he’d done! He hadn’t heard her leave the bed. Leave him. Where was she? Was she hurting?

He started for the door.

Dammit, he was naked.

“Clothes,” he muttered, looking around the room for the stuff he’d discarded like a wild man last night.

There. On the dresser. A neatly folded stack of all his things.

He grabbed only his khakis, pulled them on, zipped them but didn’t bother with the top button, went in search of her...

And found her in the minuscule kitchen, standing with her back to him. Her hair was loose; she had on some kind of oversize T-shirt. Her long legs were bare, as were her feet.

She looked bed-rumpled. Sex-rumpled. And he wanted, more than anything, to sweep her into his arms, take her back to bed.

That he wanted her so with such intensity, even after all the times he’d had her last night, made his words sound gruff.

“Dammit,” he growled, “where’d you go?”

She spun toward him. She had a mug in her hand; a dark liquid—coffee, by the welcome smell that permeated the room—sloshed over the rim.

“Travis! You startled—”

He crossed the floor in three quick steps and pulled her into his arms. The coffee sloshed again, this time onto his toes. The stuff was hot, but he didn’t care.

“I thought something had happened to you.”

“No. I’m fine. I just thought coffee would be a good—”

He kissed her.

She tasted of coffee, cream and sugar.

There’d been times he’d started mornings in Paris with Champagne, in Seville with hot chocolate. But he’d never begun the day with a sweeter flavor on his tongue than the taste of Jennie’s mouth.

When he finally lifted his head, her eyes were bright, her lips softly swollen.

“I missed you,” he said, before he could think. “Waking up alone wasn’t what I had in mind.”

She smiled. And blushed.

He loved that blush. It was sexy and innocent at the same time, and made him wonder if he was the first man who’d spent the night with her in his arms.

Just because he was the first man who’d made love to her didn’t mean she hadn’t done other things with other men.

Hell. Where was he going with that line of thought? He kept reminding himself that he wasn’t old-fashioned about women and sex...

Except, it seemed as if he was. About this woman, anyway, and about having sex with her.

About making love with her.

About staying the night in her bed and, come to think of it, how often had he done something like that? Truth was, he could probably count the number of times on the fingers of one hand.

Women tended to get the wrong idea when you spent the night.
