She nuzzled the warm pillow beneath her cheek before her nose told her it didn’t smell like her bed. Her eyes lifted to show her the bare chest of the man who had shared the night with her. A lazy smile covered her face. Granger’s face was relaxed in sleep. She studied him before pushing out of the bed. Her body immediately protested her moving. Her passage ached, making each step a slightly painful endeavor. She just needed to work the stiffness out. Her face heated with the idea of anything stiff. It had been something very hard and large that was responsible for making her sore. She felt like giggling, but pressed her lips together as she reached for her discarded dress. Pulling it over her head, she secured the ties at the back and found her underwear where it had been tossed the night before. She cast another look at her lover. His chest rose and fell in slow motion. She slipped out the bedroom door and closed it quietly behind her. The air-conditioning was on, making her frown as she recognized the difference in their lifestyles.
