mouth.
    Madison turned to face him and, despite the warmth of the night, hugged herself. Then she cocked her head and gave him an odd look. “You okay, Sean?”
    “Yeah, why?”
    “Because you have a strange look on your face.”
    “Strange?”
    She gave an easy laugh. “Yeah, you’re kind of freaking me out.”
    With that, Sean chuckled and slipped her hand in his. “Come on.”
    Madison stiffened. “Where to?”
    “Shower?”
    “I don’t think—”
    “I run out of hot water pretty quickly, so you can go first.”
    “Oh,” she said then looked at her clothes.
    “Don’t worry, I’ll find something for you.” He left her at the bathroom door, hurried to his room, then returned with a pair of sweats and a T-shirt. “They’re big, but they should do the trick.”
    Madison gave him a smile. “Thanks.”
    When she shut the door, he went to the kitchen to wait for the food to arrive. Just because he wasn’t going to act on his urges didn’t mean he wasn’t going to think about Madison’s naked body in his shower, warm water caressing her gorgeous curves as she lathered herself with his soap.
    Fuck…
    Less than thirty minutes later, Madison came sauntering down the hall, looking warm and cozy and so damn adorable he knew it was going to take all his self-discipline not to peel those oversized clothes from her beautiful body and have his wicked way with her again. Truthfully, Madison might not look like the other curvaceous women he’d once gravitated toward, but her slight, lithe frame was the epitome of lush femininity. Firm and toned yet soft and sensuous in all the right places.
    When she plopped down onto the sofa next to him, he could smell his soap on her skin. Wild images of him burying his face in her neck, or between her legs for a better whiff, rushed through his mind and renewed his need for her. He handed her a slice of pizza and took a big bite of his own before he was tempted to fill his mouth with something else, something that was poking against the white T-shirt she was wearing and beckoning his mouth.
    “Mmm, delicious,” she said around a mouthful. Then she glanced down the hall. “Where is your spare bedroom?”
    “Ah, about that.”
    She pinched her lips and studied him with quiet regard. “What about it?”
    “Well, I have one. I just don’t have any furniture.”
    She swallowed and asked, “How long have you lived here?”
    “I’ve never had overnight guests before.”
    She arched a dubious brow, disbelief written all over her face. “Oh really?”
    “Well, none that stayed in a spare room,” he admitted with a sheepish grin.
    Emotions moved over her eyes, but she quickly blinked them away and said, “Fine, I’ll take the sofa.”
    “After what we did tonight, are you telling me you have a problem sleeping in the same bed as me?”
    She stiffened at the mention of what they did earlier. She clearly didn’t want to talk about it, and under the circumstance he wasn’t going to press. But tomorrow was a different day and he was going to get to the bottom of things with her.
    “It was just a one-nighter, Sean.”
    Sean grabbed a soda, cracked the can and handed it to her. “Fine, I’ll take the sofa.”
    “No you won’t. I will.”
    “My territory. My rules.”
    “I’m not going to put you out of your bed.”
    “Fine then. You have two choices. You sleep in it with me. Or I take the sofa.”
    “You can take the sofa,” she said, and took a long drink from her can.
    With that, Sean grabbed another slice and tried not to think about how sexy she looked dressed in his clothes, her long wet hair dampening the white shirt and giving him a nice view of her pretty pink nipples.
    When they finally finished eating, Madison stretched. “I should get to bed, and you still need that shower.”
    “Right.”
    An awkward silence fell over them as they both made their way down his hall. Sean stopped outside the bathroom door and pointed the way to her, not trusting himself
