She gently extricated herself from his grasp and headed to the bathroom.
Watching the sway of her slim waist and the graceful stride of her legs, Brian allowed a smile to touchhis lips, trailing behind her leisurely.
“So, I heard Harlan’s wedding was quite the spectacle last night. Were you involved in the drama?”

Brian leaned against the door frame, his gaze lingering on her.
Had Barlow been the one to clean up her mess?
The thought rattled him.
As Rosalynn rinsed her mouth and moved to cleanse her face, she caught sight of the love bitesadorning her neck in the mirror.

He turned slightly, revealing several long scratches marring his skin, souvenirs from their passionateencounter.
