Trevor eased onto his back trying to make his pulse slow and his breathing steady. He knew he had to go to the bathroom to clean up, but he couldn't move. Not yet. Every ounce of energy had drained away, and now that he was lying down, he thought it was very possible that he'd never move again.

Well, maybe not. If Lee wanted a second helping, he'd manage. Although, it was going to take him a while to recover enough to speak, let alone perform again."You have some nerve," Lee said.

He lifted his head an inch so he could see her face. It was too much effort, and he fell back to the pillow. "Why's that?"

"Because you never told me."

"Told you what?"

"That you could win gold medals in the bedroom triple crown."

He smiled "Yeah, I should have mentioned it. Sorry."

She pinched him on the side, and he had just enough energy to yelp.

"You kept some secrets yourself, missy."

"Oh, yeah?"

"Uh-huh."

"Never. I told you over and over that I was the hottest thing since sliced bread. You never paid attention."

"You liar. You never said any such thing."

"I know, but it sounded good, didn't it?"

"It's true, you know. You are the hottest thing since sliced bread."

She found his hand and squeezed his fingers. "Speaking of bread…"

"Hungry?"

"Ravenous."

"But doesn't that mean one of us has to move?"

"Unless you have a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich hidden in your pillow."

"Damn, I didn't bring that pillow."

"Then yes, it means one of us has to move."

He sighed. "I guess I'm the one, huh?"

"Oh, you're so perceptive. I just love that about you."

He grinned. Rolled over. Looked at her all naked and shiny, right there next to him. He could still smell her, and the scent intoxicated him. Made him stir, which was quite unbelievable, as he'd been almost sure he'd never have the use of that particular organ again.

"There's fruit and chocolate in my floral suitcase," she said.

"That's not what I'm hungry for."

Her eyes widened. "You're kidding."

He sighed. "Only slightly. But after we eat…"

"Oh, goody," she said. "You know how I feel about dessert."

As he listened to her rich laugh, the silliness of their conversation ebbed, and in its place a deep sense of calm settled in his chest. "This was good," he said.

"I know," she said, as suddenly serious as he.

"I didn't expect it would be like this."

"Me, neither."

"What do you suppose it means?"

"I'm not certain," she said, catching his gaze and holding it steady. "But I think it means that we're supposed to do this every damn chance we get."

"Really?"

"Uh-huh."

"Oh, goody," he said. "You know how I feel about f—"

"Trevor!"

Her laughter followed him all the way into the bathroom.
