She smiled. “Oh, yeah, I did, didn’t I? Just for the record … there’s no doubt at all. We’re amazing together.”
His chest buzzed with happiness hearing her say that. “We are, but I still think we can improve.” Her eyes widened, but he shook his head. “All I’m saying is that if we practice hard and often if we’re dedicated to it, we can get even better.”
She chuckled. “Ah, okay. I don’t know about you, but I’m going to need a shower, some clean clothes, and some food before I sign up for any more practice.”
“Yeah. I think we both need to get our strength back first.” He knew he was right about that when his cock barely stirred at the thought of getting her in the shower. There was only so much a man could do. “Do you want to take a shower while I make us some breakfast?”
She frowned.
He hoped that didn’t mean she wanted to leave instead. He cupped her cheek. “Say you’ll spend the day with me?”
Her expression softened. “I’d love to, but remember that part about clean clothes? I don’t really want to take a shower and then get back into my dress.” She leaned over and looked at where the dress lay crumpled on the floor.
He grinned. “So how about while I make us breakfast, you take a shower, then you can wear one of my T-shirts while we take you home to get changed.”
“Okay.”
He planted a kiss on her lips. “You know where the bathroom is. I’ll find you something you can wear. Then, how do eggs and bacon sound?”
“Great, thanks.”
A little while later he was serving up breakfast when she came into the kitchen, almost making him drop the frying pan he was holding. He’d given her one of his muscle shirts and a pair of boxers to wear. If he was honest, he’d been hoping the shirt would show off her breasts, but he hadn’t been prepared for the full effect. She looked fantastic. The armholes were cut low enough that he could see her bra and the vee cut in the front only served to emphasize her ample cleavage. The shirt was way too big on her, but he caught a peek of her panties underneath, and that was enough to revive him even before he’d eaten.
She smiled. “It does look good, doesn’t it?”
He nodded and set the pan down. “Forgive me while I reel my tongue back in?”
“Ha. Is this your standard shirt to give the girl in the morning?”
His smile faded. He hated that she continued to think of him that way. “No. You’re the first woman I’ve ever loaned my clothes to.”
She raised an eyebrow.
“It’s true. My standard is to hustle them out of here just as fast as I can. If you don’t believe me, just ask Grant about the eight o’clock phone call.”
“The eight o’clock phone call?”
“Yeah. It’s what guys do. We have plans with our buddies that mean we’re really sorry, but we have to leave by eight o’clock the morning after. The buddy gives us a call to rescue us if we’re not out by eight.”
To his relief, she laughed. “That’s terrible.”
He shrugged. “It’s the way it is, but it’s not the way things are with you. I need you to know this is different. You and me.”
She smiled and came toward him. “I’d like to believe that.”
He planted a kiss on her forehead. “Then believe it. It’s true.” He smiled. “If you’d like, I can start proving it to you all over again.”
She laughed. “I thought we were going to eat first?”

Mary Ellen turned to look at him when he pulled up outside her building. “I told you I should have put the dress back on.” She’d known it was crazy to come out in just his shirt and her panties. She couldn’t run from his car to the elevator and hope no one saw her. But he’d been so persuasive, so appreciative of the way she looked—and she had to admit, she did feel kind of sexy like this. But it was different waltzing around his big house. What would happen if anyone saw her? She tried to ignore his sexy grin. “What will the neighbors think?”
He laughed. “What do you care?”
“I care that I’ll have to face them again and they’ll think I’m crazy.”
He shook his head. “They won’t think you’re crazy. They’ll know what you’ve been up to, and I’ll be with you. Are you ashamed to be seen with me?”
