reared back and he made sounds I’d never heard before, ecstasy bursting from his throat as he sailed into his orgasm. He filled me with life at a moment when I needed it more than he could ever imagine.
    Life was precious, and this…I couldn’t possibly ask for more.

Chapter 5
     
    Hayden
    My cellphone was ringing. Again.
    I rolled over and reached for it, but it wasn’t on the nightstand. I opened a single eye and didn’t recognize anything around me. It took a second, but I finally remembered where I was.
    Hotel.
    Sam.
    I sat up, looking for her in the dim light, but she was gone.
    “Sam?”
    I stumbled out of bed and went to the bathroom, but the door was open and she was nowhere to be found. Her clothes, abandoned on the floor last night, were gone, too.
    Fuck! Where the hell had she gone?
    The cellphone wasn’t going to leave me alone. I crossed the room again, fumbling through the pocket of my suit jacket for the device. The first thing that registered was that it was nine o’clock. I’d actually slept until nine o’clock in the morning. When was the last time that’d happened? I hadn’t had a decent night’s sleep since I was a small child.
    The second thing that registered was that the number was routed from the Dragon Security offices, meaning it was Rita, the crooked loan officer.
    “Hello?”
    “Morning, Mr. Brown. I hope I’m not disturbing anything.”
    “Not if you have good news.”
    “Well, then,” she said, amusement oozing from her words, “I think I’m about to make your day. Your loan has been approved.”
    “That’s great!”
    “If I could run by your hotel room, we can get the papers signed and you’ll have your house before the end of the month.”
    “Wonderful. I’ll be here all morning.”
    “Great.”
    The moment I disconnected the call, I put one through to Dominic.
    “I thought we were done with this case.”
    “Megan says that the president of the bank wants her red handed. He wants her to turn the paperwork over to you so that you can testify in court if it comes to that.”
    A choking sensation came over me at the image of sitting in a courtroom, answering questions from some lawyer who thought his client shat roses every morning.
    “I don’t testify. You know that.”
    “It’s just a formality, Hayden. You know these things rarely come to that.”
    “But I have to stick around and let this woman fawn all over me?”
    “It’ll take twenty minutes.”
    “And how do I explain Sam’s absence?”
    “I don’t know. Come up with something. And make sure you wear the wireless video camera. We don’t want to miss anything.”
    I grumbled a minute longer, but agreed. I jumped into the shower, my thoughts going back to last night. Sam, so soft and warm, writhing beneath me…my cock hardened at the memory. I didn’t understand why she left without waking me. But when I was out of the shower, dressed and trying to clean up what little mess we’d made of the place, I found her note.
    Thank you, Hayden. But this can only be a one-time thing.
    What the hell did that mean?
    Before I had a chance to contemplate it, there was a knock on the door. I quickly grabbed the video camera and stuck it in the lapel of my shirt and shoved the note in my pocket.
    “Mr. Brown,” Rita said softly, shaking her ass for all it was worth as she moved past me into the room. “I’m so happy my bank was able to help you out.”
    “So am I. If I didn’t get this loan, I think my wife was on the verge of leaving me.”
    “Speaking of which, where is Lucy?”
    “Gone to complain about me to her mother. I’m afraid it’ll only be you and me this morning. I hope that won’t be a problem.”
    She sat on the edge of the bed, a smile that said too many things on her lips. “Of course not.”
    I grabbed the chair pushed under the desk and turned it around, straddling it as I studied Rita’s face.
    “So, now what?”
    “You sign these papers and I file them with the
