Chapter Fifteen

Tamsen eased her key into the apartment lock, turning over the mechanical device with as much silence as she could. Cora was a notoriously light sleeper, and she didn’t want to disturb her roommate. Okay, she also didn’t want her nosy friend waking up and asking a million questions. She was still basking in the glow of tonight. Or this morning, she supposed, considering it was nearing four a.m.

She eased open the front door, breathing a sigh of relief when she heard nothing from the direction of Cora’s room. The night had been more of a success than she’d hoped. Dream Parker had nothing on Real Parker. The man had skills, but more importantly, he had instinct. He seemed to anticipate what she wanted, changing position and pace to bring her body to places of pleasure it had never been before. She hadn’t had that many orgasms in one night in…ever.

Slipping off her heels, she made her way into the kitchen only to stop short with a screech at a tall, shadowy figure leaning against the kitchen counter. The kitchen light flipped on, and Tamsen’s heart slipped out of her throat where it had jumped to and settled back in her chest.

“Cora! You nearly gave me a heart attack. What are you doing up so late?”

Her roommate’s eyebrows rose high on her forehead. “Technically, it’s early. Very early. So early, in fact, one might question why you are just getting home?”

“I asked you first.” Mature? No, but she needed a moment to think of a response that wouldn’t have Cora pumping her for details she wasn’t sure she wanted to share yet.

Cora waved a hand over the Winnie the Pooh scrubs she had on. “I have a double shift today.”

Right. Hospital shifts were as hectic as restaurant shifts. More so because the hospital never closed. Tamsen admired her friend so much, working every day with such fragile lives. Whenever Cora lost a patient, it hit her so hard. Tamsen wondered if Parker felt the same sense of grief and guilt whenever he lost someone in a fire. She bet he did. Every frontline worker had such heavy responsibilities on their shoulders. She had no idea how they managed. All she did was serve food and make pretty things for people to look at.

That wasn’t true. Cora had told her time and time again that Tamsen’s work was important. The world needed the arts to reflect and escape into when life got hard. Plus, she started a Caring Crochet group that met once a month to make hats, socks, and blankets for the hospitals and homeless shelters in the metro area. It wasn’t saving lives, but it was something she could do to help.

“Did you make any coffee?” She should be going to bed, but Tamsen was too wired to sleep. With fresh memories of Parker’s amazing body in her mind, her sketchpad was calling her name. She wanted to get down as many of his sharp lines and toned muscles as possible.
