Alex had run out of there like a bat out of hell and not even bothered waiting for Jason. It wasn't until she'd opened the door looking a little worse for the wear but mostly her usual cranky, snarky and radiant self that he'd allowed himself to draw in a full, proper breath.
Man, I'm so screwed.
She stretched and sighed in her sleep while Alex groaned softly when he felt her hands sensuously glide up his chest. Her hips shifted automatically to cradle his growing erection. Closing his eyes, Alex prayed for divine patience. It was his turn to practice the relaxing breathing technique he had just showed Catriona.
But as always when he was around her, his body refused to cooperate and Alex settled himself in for an agonizing wait. He would give Cat one more hour, two tops, but then he was going to wake her and take what was rightfully his. He didn't think it was possible, but Alex actually managed to fall asleep with Cat in his arms.
