Candace hummed and rolled to her back, inviting his touch. “I have to go,” he whispered against her breast as he nuzzled the underside. Candace arched her back. “I wish I could stay here all day, but I promised Richard I’d look at some papers for him this morning. Will you be all right on your own for a while?” She bracketed his head with her hands and tried to move him to her breast again, but she wasn’t strong enough to budge him. “Yes. I think I can manage on my own for a while.” She had no doubt she would find a class to take, or something. She had Ryan’s seduction to plan, too. A few hours on her own would come in handy in that regard. “Good.” Ryan slipped out of the bed and wrapped a towel around his waist and, she noticed, his impressive morning erection. “How about lunch? I should be through by then.” “Take your time.” She glanced at the bedside clock. It was almost nine already and she needed a nice long shower and breakfast. That didn’t leave much time.
