Cate didn’t actually get to rest during their siesta, but as she stretched naked on the satin sheets after an hour-long bout of lovemaking, she definitely felt sated and relaxed. Across the room, Luc was pulling on slacks in front of the closet, and she was watching him, thoroughly enjoying the view and thinking one very disturbing thought—she could get used to this.

A tiny buried part of her dared to hope that the voice in her head was wrong. That she could have the whole dream. A husband. Children. A family that loved her.

No, no, no. She needed to get that thought out of her head. No matter what this thing was that seemed to be filling the air between them, the bottom line remained the same, and the familiar refrain reverberated through her head. Not for you. Never for a girl like you. A girl cursed by the circumstances of her birth to walk in the darkness. Who had badness in her soul.

"Something wrong?" Luc stood, looking utterly sexy as he buttoned his-starched white shirt. Such a short time and already he knew her too well. A blossom of hope dared to bloom, but Cate ignored it, tucking it instead into the darkest corner of her heart.

She shook her head, the lie as natural as breathing. "Just enjoying the view."

"I'm glad you think it's worth watching."

She shrugged. "It's an empirical fact. Can't have you thinking I'm an idiot."

He let his eyes roam over her, and her body tingled in response, the sensation starting at her toes and drifting all the way up to the top of her head until her entire body felt warm and malleable and it was all she could do to keep herself from begging for his touch.

With his eyes lingering on her, he smiled. "I can't believe these words are coming from my lips, but you really should get dressed. I have plans for you this evening."

"It's only five."

As his smile broadened, so did the heat in her belly. "I have plans for a very, very long evening."

"Oh." She licked her lips. Discomfort warring with an intense desire to wrap herself up in this man. A lifetime of putting up walls won out, though, and she licked her lips, at the same time eased the sheet over her bare thigh. "Listen, Luc, today has been, well, it's been great. But I really do need to get going."

"Why?"

The question startled her, though she certainly should have expected it. "Well, I might be off from work, but I have tons of paperwork to catch up and evidence to review for all of my cases."

He nodded, his copper eyes intense as he sat on the bed again. "You've already admitted there's something happening between us. I thought we'd agreed to explore that."

"I..." She trailed off, then shrugged. How could she explain to him that she was fine with the sexual tug between them? If that's all it was, she'd stay in his bed forever. Sex she could deal with.
