Dex was in desperate need of her days off. She had flown to London and back twice in the last week. Apparently being a newbie meant taking the crappy shifts. Unfortunately on both trips, she had turn-around flights and wasn’t able to do anything but sleep. Not that she would have had the strength for it anyway. She was relieved to be back in Canada. Maybe it was because she was so tired, or maybe it was only that she was getting used to her condo, but either way she was glad to be coming home.

Deidra had called several times while she was in the air so she listened to her voice mail while merging with the other travelers trying to depart the terminal. Deidra was checking to see if she would be around for dinner on Sunday so she sent a text to tell her yes. She moved toward the line of taxicabs waiting for their fares and did a double take as her eyes caught a glimpse of Lucy sliding into an open taxi door. In two decisive steps, she pulled the closing door from Lucy’s hand and slid in beside her.

She gave her condo address to the driver and leaned her head against the back of the seat. She didn’t plan on speaking to Lucy. She knew what Lucy would say and she didn’t want to hear it. She was confident if given the chance she would be able to convince Lucy to break her own rules again. She only had to get her out of the cab once they arrived.

She felt Lucy touch her arm and she met her eyes. They were filled with questions.

“I thought we were clear.”

She shrugged. What could she say? Lucy had been clear, but Dex knew what she wanted, and she was willing to risk Lucy’s rejection to get it.

“I’m not getting out with you,” Lucy stated.

“Why not?” she asked without lifting her head from where it rested on the seat. “We both want the same things.”

Lucy chuckled. “Do we?”

“Yes, we do. Come inside. You don’t have to stay if you don’t want to.” She knew she didn’t mean it. She only needed to get Lucy inside, and then she could convince her to stay. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the feel of Lucy’s hand still resting on her arm. She had almost drifted to sleep when the driver pulled to a stop outside her condominium.

She opened the door and slid out, waiting for Lucy to join her on the street. Lucy stopped at the steps leading to the condominium and folded her arms over her chest.

“Come inside.” She fought to keep the begging from her voice.

“It’s not going to happen. I don’t—”

She stepped into Lucy’s personal space and pressed her body against her. “I know it’s going to happen and so do you. The sooner you follow me inside the sooner I can take your clothes off.”

She tried not to shiver at the look of desire that flashed in Lucy’s eyes.
