THAT HAD BEEN hours ago, when the night had been dark and the only light had come from the little lamp over the nightstand. She had no recollection of how it had been turned off, so exhausted had she been by their slow, incredible lovemaking.

He’d known exactly how to touch every inch of her, how to make her wait, how to build the tension, how to tease and definitely how to pay off. The truth was, he was everything she’d ever thought he was, and more.

She turned to face the wall, away from the sleeping man, no longer caring if the light hit her eyes. No longer caring about much but the building realization that she was in deep, deep trouble.

Everything she’d believed about Ben was true, and that wasn’t good at all. She’d been so sure that she’d exaggerated his prowess over the years, that she’d built him into an icon of romance and sex in the fertile fields of her mind. She’d never really considered the possibility that he was the most incredible lover on the planet. The thought was ludicrous. No one could be as good as she remembered Ben.

Except Ben.

And where the hell did that leave her? How was she supposed to go on from here? Settle for boring sex for the rest of her life? Try every man she could find in the desperate hope she’d find someone as wonderful? Give up sex completely? She wasn’t Catholic, but maybe being a nun wasn’t such a bad idea. No, she’d have to be a lot more saintly, and a completely different person, so that was out.

She’d loved last night. Every single second of it. Now, as she tried to analyze why, her skin started tingling as she recalled his every touch. That wouldn’t do.

Instead she focused only on the facts, the empirical evidence. Why was he so much better than anyone else she’d been with? Better wasn’t even the right word for it. Ben was to making love what the Mona Lisa was to art. Way the hell outside the box. But why?

She grabbed the almost empty water bottle from the side table and took a sip, wishing she had some coffee, but unwilling to wake Ben.

On the other hand, the water did nothing for her, barely even quenched her thirst. What she needed to do was get out of there, go somewhere alone to think. Somewhere she wouldn’t feel Ben’s heat next to her skin. Somewhere she didn’t have the overwhelming urge to touch him and start the whole damn process over again.

Slipping out from between the covers, she began searching for her clothes, finding them more or less in the same area. She gathered them all and went into the bathroom. She’d shower in her room. Right now, all she wanted to do was make a clean getaway.

Once she was dressed and her hair would no longer scare anyone she met in the hallway, she opened the bathroom door. Listening hard, she waited a good minute until she was sure he was still asleep.
