Chapter Seventeen

Drowsy after making love to Kai again, River held her in his arms. He didn’t dare fall asleep. Shortly, he would have to take her home. It started to annoy him just as it had last night. Well, he didn’t have any other choice, and even though he wished it could be different, it wasn’t. He’d better stop having such idiotic thoughts.

“River, I’ve been thinking. I think we should only see each other two or three times a week. If we see each other more than that, people might begin to wonder about us.” Her voice holding a note of determination, Kai decided to broach the idea she thought about last night. She sensed by the stiffening of River’s body that he would argue over her decision.

Instantly, the contentment he was feeling earlier was swept away, and his body went rigid. What bloody nonsense was she sprouting now? Two or three times a week? Was she joking? He intended to see her every night. “I don’t think either of us will be satisfied with only a few nights together.” His voice was rough with his displeasure.

Oh, she just knew he would argue with her decision. She just knew it. Well, she didn’t intend to change her mind. “Three times a week, River, and no more. I suggest you choose quickly which days you want.”

Damn hard-headed, infuriating woman. He wanted to strangle some sense into her. Aggravated as all get out, he shifted her out of his embrace, sat up and swung his legs over the edge of the bed. Over his shoulder, he stared at her and saw the mutinous glare she gave him. Turning away, he rubbed his chin as he tried to think of some way to change the mulish woman’s mind. He snarled when nothing came.

“All right, damn it. Sunday, Tuesday and Friday. Now get up and get dressed so I can take you home.” Exasperation fired his words and, bending down, he scooped his pants up off the floor. He was absolutely furious with her.

Three blasted nights a week! Was she crazy? He knew for damn sure that neither of them would be satisfied with so little time together. Well, he would let her have her way for now because he knew this damn arrangement wouldn’t last long.

Kai scrambled off the bed. She knew River was angry with her. She would give him time to calm down and when he did, she was sure he would realize what a good suggestion she’d made. Gathering up her clothes, she hastily pulled them on, hoping by the time they were both dressed he would be in a better mood.

Finished dressing, River sat down on the edge of the mattress and pulled on his boots. Still aggravated as hell, he stood up and moved around the bed to stand in front of Kai and waited for her to pull on the last of her clothing. “Do you have any more smart ideas? If you do, spit them out now.
