    “You’re an afterglow master,” she said, patting his chest. “I’d like nothing more than to stay right here, like this, for the foreseeable future, but…” She lifted her head and looked over at the clock. “That’s pm not am, right?” Anne asked with a grin. “My days and nights are all mixed up, what with me not wanting to waste my time with you sleeping.”
    “I graciously accept the compliment,” Garth teased.
    “But I’m worried about you, Garth.”
    “Why?”
    “I can catch up on my beauty rest when I want. You’re about to be working three twelve-hour days…and there’s a firearm involved! You need to be fresh as a daisy.”
    “Mark will let me doze in the car.”
    “Oh very nice,” she said, rolling on top of him. She sat up, straddling his hips. “By the time we get something to eat, because yes, I’m hungry again, and you get me home then drive back here, it’s going to be late.”
    Garth played with her boobs, smiling when her nipples hardened. “I think we need to take a quick shower before we leave.” He waggled his eyebrows suggestively.
    “History shows that we’re unable to complete that activity with anything close to speediness.” She scandalously rubbed her pussy against his abdomen.
    “What if I promise to use the soap and washcloth only in the manner for which they were originally designed?”
    “I bet you a large pepperoni pizza that you won’t be able to make good on that particular promise.” She hopped out of bed.
    “You’re on, sweetheart.” He enjoyed the view of her naked ass as she scurried to the bathroom. “That’s what I was already planning to pick up for dinner,” he added under his breath before hurrying to join her.

    Two and a half hours later, they arrived at Anne’s house. “You do realize it took every ounce of self-control I have not to start eating that pie in the car,” she stated, shrugging out of her coat and hanging it in the closet by the front door. She took the box from him and set it on the coffee table. “Let’s eat out here. I’ll get plates and napkins, and how about you see if you can find anything decent to watch on TV. What would you like to drink?”
    “Water’s good.”
    Anne headed into the kitchen. Her thoughts were a jumbled mess, and she needed to take a minute to regroup. During the ride home, they hadn’t lacked for things to talk about, but Garth hadn’t said a word about when or even if they would see each other again.
    The last two days had been the most intense, incredible, amazing ones she’d ever spent in the company of a gentleman. He was a wonderful, considerate, inventive lover and an all around interesting guy. They’d done a hell of a lot of laughing but also had some pretty deep conversations regarding feelings and emotions, something she sure as shit wasn’t used to having with a man!
    A tiny niggle of doubt crept into her thoughts. Had she turned their time together into more than it really was?
    Don’t over think things…trust your reactions. Ellen’s advice played loudly in her head.
    “Thanks, hon,” Anne said quietly before heading back into the living room.
    She set down the plates and bottles of water. “Decided against the TV?” Anne asked, sitting next to Garth on the couch.
    He placed two slices of pizza on each of their plates. “We can watch it later, if you want,” he said before taking a bite.
    The comment confused her a bit. It was almost eight, and he had a forty-five minute drive home, but she let it go. He could stay as long as his sexy self wanted to. She ate her first piece of pizza in record time. “Okay, I think I’m going to live.”
    Garth chuckled. “If you were in such dire straits, you definitely should have eaten in the car.”
    “And display a lack of ladylike behavior? I’m attempting to keep my bad habits under wraps. Don’t want to scare you off or anything.”
    Damn, why did I say that? She nervously removed and ate pepperonis off of
