I woke up the next morning feeling very tired because Barrett Matthews had successfully invaded my dreams.

All night, my mind was stuck on constant replay. My body ached for something—anything—to sate the overwhelming need to touch and be touched. I tried to take matters into my own hands but nothing worked.

Just as I was about to get up and grab the room service menu, the phone on the nightstand started to ring. Knowing there was only one person who could be calling me—I lifted the handset to my ear.

“Hello?”

“Good morning Ms. Jacobs,” an all-too-familiar voice replied. It was the same voice I’d heard whispering dirty intentions in my ear all night, then enacting them in all their carnal glory—if only in my mind. “I hope I didn't wake you.”

“Barrett, you're a man of your word, aren't you? I wasn't expecting to hear from you this soon.”

He chuckled. The sound moved through me, leaving a wave of warmth in its wake. “I can't seem to get you off my mind, Alyssa,” he said, his voice serious.

“Good to see I'm not the only one suffering then,” I teased, unable to stop smiling.

“You have no fucking idea,” he muttered, the undercurrent in his tone giving the impression there was more weight to his words than I even knew.

Comfortable silence stretched between us before I heard his voice again. “I was calling to see whether you had plans for breakfast?”

Unable to resist the urge, I made the decision to give him a dose of his own medicine. “Well, I thought I'd be eating room service in bed with this sexy stranger I met yesterday, but it appears it wasn't meant to be.”

“The hardest thing I’ve ever had to do was walk away from you last night, Alyssa.”

“Probably as hard as you felt when you kissed me.”

“You're incorrigible,” he replied gruffly.

“If only you knew how bad I could really be.” He laughed but a knock at the door grabbed my attention. “Sorry, Barrett. Do you mind holding for a moment? Someone is at my door.”

“Of course. Hopefully not too long though,” he mused. Getting out of bed, I slipped the hotel robe around my shoulders, covering up the silk chemise I’d put on the night before, and went to see who it was.

With the phone still to my ear, I pulled the handle and came face to face with Barrett and his sexy megawatt grin, holding two little paper bags with red Sovereign Hotel stickers.

Looking him straight in the eye, I continued to speak to him through the phone. “I’m sorry. A man demanding my attention has just surprised me with what I can only hope is breakfast. I’ll have to call you back.”

“I understand. Until next time, Ms. Jacobs,” he said, taking the phone and putting it in his pocket.

“I look forward to it,” I muttered, totally enamored with the man’s face—those eyes, that mouth, and his strong chiseled jaw that had the barest hint of stubble.

Dropping the phone from my ear, we stood there just smiling at each other, mine undoubtedly goofy, his more sly.
