Chapter Twelve

Luke disentangled his leg from the lilac-coloured sheet and rolled over, squinting at the illuminated numbers on Ally’s radio.

Five thirty.

No matter how much or how little sleep he got, his body was like clockwork. Even on Saturday.

Collapsing onto his back, he watched her sleeping the ‘sleep of the dead’. Last night had been a revelation. Beautiful in the extreme, they’d made love with all the unleashed power and intensity of a category five storm.

Bringing his hands behind his head, he interlaced his fingers and stretched out his shoulders. He knew he should get up and start work, but he quickly talked himself out of it. He was overseeing his client’s wellbeing right now.

He glanced again at her tousled blonde hair. Who really knew that this ice cool lawyer wore sexy undergarments beneath her conservative attire as if in silent protest at the establishment? Who knew that beneath the ambitious veneer lay a seductive temptress, the kind of woman a man would be eager to come home to every night?

“You can wipe the smug smile off your face, Commander.”

He rolled over, his body stirring at the sound of her voice.

Skimming her hair away from her face, he sidled up close. “The candle’s out. Your screams of pleasure snuffed it.”

With an effort she lifted her head, her unfocussed eyes moving between him and the burnt out candle. With a tired sigh she lowered her head onto the pillow.

“You’re full of it.”

He chuckled at her inability to wake quickly, slipping his arms around her warm body and pressing his lips against her ear. “Why are you tired? We only did it five times, not that I’m boasting.”

She sighed, looking like she wanted to go back to sleep, so he ran the tip of his tongue around her outer ear, making her shiver. He was hard again, couldn’t believe the more he had her, the more he wanted her.

She shifted her head onto his shoulder, and snaked her arm across his chest. “You seem pleased with yourself.”

He dropped a kiss on the top of her head. “Didn’t we break some kind of record?”

“Thanks to my box of antique condoms.”

He laughed again. “I thought I was living in hope, bringing one.”

Her eyes zeroed in on the small tattoo on his right pectoral muscle. “What do these numbers mean?” she asked, gazing up at him as she pressed her lips to the series of numbers inked into his skin.

“Don’t worry about that now,” he whispered, wanting her again. He stuck the soft tip of his tongue into her ear canal and watched in fascination as her cherry coloured nipples hardened instantly.

“I want to know you,” she objected. “It’s only fair.”

He swallowed, lowering his head back onto the pillow with a sigh. It wasn’t common practice for him to make love to a woman then bare his soul. In the past, he’d kept the emotional and physical firmly separated, but it was becoming impossible to do that with her. He’d overstepped his self-imposed boundaries from the very start.
