Chapter Eighteen

When Ali wakened the next morning, her internal clock told her it was close to seven a.m. The amount of sunshine slanting through the east facing windows confirmed it. She never slept past six, and rarely so deeply. She hadn’t dreamed, not after the fractured dream about Sammy. The dream that ended with her waking up with Beau next to her. God, Beau.

With a rush of heat to the pit of her stomach she remembered falling asleep the night before while fantasizing about Beau and what she was doing in the other room. The warmth climbed into her chest and flooded her face. What had she been thinking? She’d practically accosted her. She didn’t even want to think about the number of times Beau had tried to say stop. She not only hadn’t listened, she’d proceeded to play with her until Beau was so wound up she’d had to… With a low groan, Ali threw her arm over her eyes, as if that would somehow erase the memory of Beau’s muffled moans. Just thinking about Beau being aroused and needing to come—because of her—made her instantly wet and aching. Jesus, she was completely out of control.

Carefully, she pushed herself upright and sat on the side of the bed, taking stock of her body. She needed to restore some order to her life, and her emotions would follow suit. She didn’t need to fall flat on her face. The entire left side of her face was swollen and the wound in her scalp pulled and twinged when she cautiously opened her mouth, but all of that was manageable. The headache persisted but was several orders of magnitude less intense than it had been the night before. Her stomach was still in revolt. Gripping the nightstand, she stood up. No dizziness. Her vision seemed fine. Nothing too serious, then. In another day she ought to be able to work.

With a sigh of relief, she headed for the bathroom. She needed another shower. She needed to wash Beau’s lingering scent from her skin and maybe then she’d be able to think clearly again.
