too.” He lifted her off the ground, carryied her to the bed, and pulled the covers over her naked body. “Wouldn’t want you to get cold.”
    “Then get into this bed and keep me warm.”
    “Scoot over.”
    “Nah. I’d rather watch you walk to the other side of the bed.”
    “Fine by me.” He strutted to the foot of the bed and flicked on the television. “Any requests?” .
    “You’re not going to watch TV.”
    “I’m sure as hell not going to sleep.” He climbed under the covers and pulled her close.
    “Why the hell not?”
    “I have to explain that one?”
    She giggled. “The last time you walked in your sleep you got lucky. Consider this, it might happen again.”
    He didn’t say anything, just kind of looked back at her, almost as if he were hurt or something. His forehead wrinkled like one of those ugly dogs that was so ugly it was cute. “In only a few hours, I’ll have to get up and catch a plane.”
    Her heart nearly stopped beating. “What time is your flight? Mine’s around eleven.”
    “Eleven-thirty.” He tucked her head back into his shoulder and turned down the television. “If it really bothers you, let me know and I’ll shut it off.”
    “No.” She snuggled closer. “Just make sure I’m an awake by five thirty.” She felt his muscles tense. She patted his chest. “I’m really a light sleeper. If you get out of this bed, I’ll know it.”
    “I love this movie. I should be fine.”
    And with that, she closed her eyes tight. She hated herself for thinking this could be the one. The man who would change her life, rock her world. She pushed those thoughts away and let herself drift off to sleep. But she didn’t stay there long when she felt the bed shift.
    She reached out, but Chad wasn’t next to her. “Come back to bed,” she whispered. He stood in front of the window with the curtains pulled back, hands on hips and beautifully naked. “Chad.” She whistled. “Over here.”
    “I was looking for you.” He had that same washed over glaze to his eyes the last time she’d seem him up and about, but not really up.
    “I bet you were.”
    He climbed into bed and wrapped his arms around her, then kissed her temple. “Sweet Angie,” he whispered. “I think I’d like to like you more.”
    She held her breath for a moment before speaking, “Are you awake?”
    And then he snored.
    She snuggled in and once again let her body drift of into a subconscious state, dreaming about being liked, maybe loved.
     

Chapter Six
     
    Chad bolted up in bed, blinking his eyes and scanning the room. “What the…oh shit.” She wasn’t next to him, or in the room, and then he heard the water running. He glanced over the side of the bed and let out a sigh of relief when he saw her tiny thong still dangling from the chair’s armrest. At least he knew he was in her room.
    He wiped the sleep from his eyes, and then tried to collect his thoughts. The night’s events jumbled inside his head. He remembered waking up in her room and the events that led to them making love.
    “Settle down,” he told his morning hard-on.
    He remembered watching television, and he remembered looking for her. That must have been in his sleep. All in all, he’d survived his trip. “Awe, shit.”
    “What?” She appeared at the foot of the bed, wrapped in a towel, water pellets beading on her creamy skin.
    “I have to find a way to get into my room.”
    “Not a problem.” She smiled, then bent at the waist and pulled the towel from her head. “Except for having to meet them in the hall in your underwear.”
    “Thanks for reminding me.” He ran a hand through his own unruly hair as she shook her head this way and that way and the towel strapped across her breasts loosened. “You’re not helping my situation here?”
    “What situation is--” Her gaze dropped below his waist, and her eyes widened. “Oh, that.”
    He smiled at her reaction, then frowned. He didn’t have a condom. “I think I’ll
