This entire evening had been a revelation She was still a little shaky about it all She thought he’d brought her here to fire her Instead, he’d fucked her, and it had been ical, more than she could have ever asked for

The question wasnohat?

THREE

NOW WHAT?

Gavin sat outside and watched the seagulls swooping down at the water’s edge searching for breakfast while he nursed a cup of coffee and pondered the naked redhead asleep in his bed

Not just any naked redhead, either, but his agent, Elizabeth

What a surprise she’d been last night In more ways than one

He would have never expected Elizabeth to be his match in the bedrooined

Sure, he’d had a bit to drink last night, and fucking her hadn’t been on his ood

And he wanted more

But it was an all-around bad idea First, because she was his agent, and they needed to keep their relationship strictly business

Second, she had screwed over his brother, and that still didn’t sit right with him

Third, she wasn’t his type at all He liked his wo and Elizabeth didn’t belong in the same sentence

He still wanted more of her

He could have some fun with her Okay, a lot of fun with her It wasn’t like they were going to be dating He didn’t date woether, and that was it He had a career in baseball, a high-profile lifestyle, and woot into that They wanted to be seen with hih there were always those who thought they could be the next Mrs Gavin Riley

He wasn’t looking for a Mrs; not right now He was too busy having fun

"Morning"

He turned to see Elizabeth leaning against the doorway She’d helped herself to one of his T-shirts, and God help him, she looked so daner clothes and high heels, and wore her hair up Thisthis was spectacular The T-shirt was long on her, hit above her knees It was gray and worn, and hugged her curves Her hair spilled down around her shoulders, was all messed up and stuck up in places, and she had a sleepy look on her face, pillow marks on her left cheek, and her lips were swollen

Goddarabbed one of your shirts And helped myself to a cup of coffee I hope you don’tthe cup to show him

"I don’tthis tis up on the seat She inhaled and closed her eyes "I can see why you like it here at the beach, Gavin What a beautiful way to wake up in theto just sit and watch the ocean waves and the birds You don’t get this kind of view in Saint Louis Not that I’m at the office or at my condo all that often any way"

Who was this person? He’d found out more about Elizabeth in the last twelve hours than in the seven years he’d known her "You travel a lot Me, too It sucks I co and just to get away from the winter"

She brushed her hair away from her face "Understandable It’s nice to have a place like this"

"I’m sure you could buy a place down here You can afford it"

"Mmm," was all she said, then put the cup to her lips "I should get dressed and head out Mind if I use your shower first?"

"You have soaze to his "Not really"

"Then why the hurry?"

"My stuff is at the hotel I need to check out today"

"Where are you going?"

"Back home"

His lips lifted "It’s February Cold in Saint Louis"

"Yes, it is"

"You could hang out here for a while, soak up so me to stay?"

Was he? He had no idea what the hell he was doing All he kneas that he had fun with Elizabeth last night, and his dick wanted onna deny we had great sex last night"

She stared at hi out withme"

His lips curled "Not yet"

"Asshole" She pushed off the swing and sauntered into the house He went inside to refill his coffee Elizabeth was in the kitchen refilling hers

"So are you staying?"

"Right now I’s and check out"

"I’ll call the hotel They can check you out, and I’ll have your things delivered here"

She leaned against the counter, cup in hand "Thinking of holding ainst the counter "I don’t know Think you’ve got what it takes to keep ?"

Her eyes sparkled "That sounds like a challenge, Gavin"
