HE WOKE UP when sunlight brightened the room. Not opening his eyes, he just enjoyed the warmth on his skin. And the warmth of a woman’s naked body pressed against his.

Not a dream. Gwen really had come to him. She had been waiting in his bed when he’d come back upstairs during the night.

He waited for a second, to see if his memory would shift back into place with the coming of the dawn. Nothing. Considering he hadn’t gotten what anyone—including the doctor—could call a good night’s sleep, he supposed it wasn’t too surprising.

Not that he regretted it. He didn’t regret a damn thing.

“Mmm,” she moaned. “It’s morning already?”

“Morning comes early when you don’t go to sleep until five.”

They’d spent three hours indulging in the most erotic, hot and sensual sex he’d ever enjoyed. Or, at least, the most erotic, hot and sensual sex he could remember, which wasn’t saying much. Still, he had a feeling last night had been one for the record books.

When a shrill piercing sound started whining from the side of the bed, he jerked. “What the hell is that?”

She stirred beside him. “My alarm clock. It’s seven. I should get downstairs, the part-time cook is probably here.”

He lay there, wanting to coax her into staying in bed, then thought about what she’d said. “Your alarm clock?”

She mumbled something, then reached across him, smacking at the clock. The whining stopped. “We have nine minutes.”

“How would you like to spend it?” he couldn’t help asking, giving her a possessive squeeze. He finally opened his eyes to see her lying sprawled on his chest.

“Unconscious.”

He gave an exaggerated sigh of disappointment. “Wait a second, back to the alarm clock. You brought a clock with you from your room?”

She nodded sleepily. “I grabbed a few things. I knew I had to get up early.”

So much for thinking she’d been so completely overwhelmed by desire that she’d rushed to his room and slipped into his bed in the heat of the moment. She’d brought her damn alarm clock.

“You know it’s probably not a good idea for us to be seen together here.” Her words were punctuated by a yawn.

“Your aunt gonna nail me with quarters this time?”

She chuckled sleepily. “Heaven forbid. I mean, since we don’t know for sure if the person you’re after is here, we probably shouldn’t be seen leaving the same room this morning.”

He hated for her to leave and tightened his arms around her, tangling his fingers in her long, blond hair. “I don’t want you to go back to your room.”

“Since the plumber can’t come until next week, I won’t be.”

“Plumber? What are you talking about?”

“The one I called about the broken pipe in my room.”

She’d broken a pipe in her room and called a plumber during the night? That guy had to keep some pretty late hours! “I didn’t realize you had plumbing problems.”

She finally rubbed a hand over her face and opened her eyes. Giving him a lethargic smile, she sat up, allowing the sheets and quilt to fall to her lap.
