Buzz left the downstairs hall light burning while Raven floated into her new room. She hadn’t bothered buying pajamas for herself at Daisy’s. Now that oversight presented a problem. If she climbed into Buzz’s bed naked, she’d be way too obvious.

He stopped at the bedroom door, slouching against the doorjamb. “Do you want me to sleep on the sofa in the family room? I can always pretend I fell asleep in front of the TV.”

“No. Unless you want to fall asleep in front of the T.V.”

“Nope.”

“Um, could I use one of your T-shirts or something for pajamas?” She waved her hand at the closet doors.

“Knock yourself out. Do you want to take a shower first? I’m going to take one after rolling around in the dirt after that crane malfunction.”

Shower? Was that code word for planning sex?

“Yeah, I’ll take a quick shower.” Raven opened his dresser drawer and plucked a white T-shirt from the neat stack. Clutching it to her chest, she slipped into the attached bathroom.

She secured her hair and stepped into the shower. Three minutes later, squeaky clean, she toweled off and brushed her teeth. She’d soaped up and rinsed off like the Energizer Bunny in case Buzz changed his mind and packed off downstairs. But on second thought, if she’d taken longer, maybe he would’ve joined her.

She dropped the T-shirt over her head, surprised at the fresh scent. Buzz kept a supply of clothes at the ranch, but she didn’t expect them to be freshly laundered.

Bunching her dirty clothes in her arms, she opened the bathroom door and peered around the edge. Buzz looked up from his book.

“That was fast. Knowing how long you usually take in the bathroom, I was settling in for a good, long wait.”

She stuck out her tongue. “Some things do change.”

“That’s good to hear.” He snapped his book shut and slid off the bed. “That T-shirt looks a lot better on you than me.”

Raven stared at the bathroom door after he’d closed it behind him. Her gaze tracked to the chair in the corner. Should she pretend maidenly modesty and claim the chair?

She blew out a puff of air. She wasn’t a maiden and she wasn’t modest. Why pretend now?

She peeled back the covers on the bed and slipped between the sheets. Leaning over, she plugged in her cell phone charger and then plumped the pillows behind her. She didn’t have a book or even a magazine from downstairs, so she picked up Buzz’s book—a political thriller. Didn’t he get enough of that in real life?

She thumbed through the pages and jumped when Buzz swung open the bathroom door. Wisps of steam curled around his body as he stepped into the room, a towel hanging low on his hips. His biceps bunched as he reached up and sluiced back his hair.

Raven’s belly fluttered and she squeezed her thighs together. He looked like a page from a calendar—hot pilots. Maybe Mr. November.

He raised one eyebrow at her snuggled in his bed. She chewed on her lower lip.
