“You do this, too.”
    His tongue ran the length of her and accompanied her fingers as they circled around her clit. He sucked carefully on her clit, and flicked his tongue. She couldn’t tell which sensations were caused by him and which by her.
    His hands reached up to find her breasts. Rough fingers caught her nipples, pinched and rolled them into hard, tingling tips.
    A sudden hard suck brought her to the brink. She flexed her hips toward him, unable—no, unwilling—to hold back one more second. He sucked again—and she saw stars, fireworks, explosions.
    She felt her muscles throb and pulsate, reaching for something that wasn’t there. She gasped at the intensity, amazed at her body.
    She fell back into the sofa, stroking his hair. He climbed completely onto the sofa, leaving his head on her lap. Within moments she was asleep.

    Brilliant golden light filled the unfamiliar room, and Zoe woke to the feel of Phillip’s muscled chest pillowing her head and the repetitive stroking of his hand on her hair. Soothing. She felt safe. He must have carried her upstairs last night.
    His hot erection throbbed against her hip, distracting her. She blinked in the morning sunshine, surprised at the heat flooding through her.
    â€œI thought moonlight really became you, but you look great in the sunshine, too.” Arousal roughened his voice to a husky velvet drawl.
    He flexed his powerful body, and Zoe could see just how well-muscled he was. Could she really have spent last night like she did and never have seen his chest? He was long and lean, that she’d known. But his thighs and arms and pecs looked like those of a cyclist or diver. Or a fencer. Gorgeous.
    He moved, and she found herself underneath him. She blinked as he loomed above her, staring into her face. The urgent lust she’d seen throughout the night now mingled with something else. Tenderness? Affection? She blinked again.
    Lifting a hand, Phillip gently drew it through her hair, combing the strands over the pillow. His absorbed gaze flicked over her hair and then rested again on her face.
    â€œBefore last night, I had no idea your hair was this long.”
    He definitely had a tender expression, and Zoe felt her stomach spiral. She stroked his chest, wordlessly.
    â€œThe bathroom’s over there,” he said, rolling off her and the bed.
    Reality check. “I, um—I forgot to bring overnight things.” It wasn’t the sort of thing that would normally slip her mind. “I guess I was nervous.”
    â€œDon’t worry. I’ve got you covered.”
    â€œUncovered?”
    â€œWe’ll get to that.”
    The promise sent a chill through her. It was a good chill.
    â€œI bought a toothbrush for you. It’s on the counter in there.”
    â€œPink?” She sat on the edge of the bed rubbing her eyes.
    He chuckled. “Of course.”
    â€œI wouldn’t have thought you so predictable, Kingdom.”
    â€œI’m full of surprises.”
    â€œHa, ha.” Facing him, she stood and stretched, raising her arms high above her and arching her back. “Predictably full of surprises.”
    â€œYou’re quite the tease this morning.”
    â€œI learned from the master. Where’d you say the bathroom was?”
    â€œOver there,” he pointed. “Are you a size seven?”
    â€œYes.”
    â€œGood. I bought the right size.”
    â€œYou planned this better than I did.” The fact that he bought clothes for her last week made her feel . . . well, she didn’t know how she felt. It was strange to know that he’d been thinking about such personal details.
    â€œI can be an optimist, too,” he said, staring at her ass.

    The jade and copper bath complemented him as well as the living room did. The man had great taste. Zoe started the water running in the oversized shower and brushed her teeth. Waiting for the water to get hot, she looked in
