He dipped his head.Only slightly, but enough.Then he looked up at her through his eyelashes.It was heart-meltingly sexy.

Alle sighed and slunk off the bed to retrieve his footwear.

“Really, you should step into the corridor if we’re going to properly do this.That way you can pretend to sneak in while I’m asleep, and I can actually catch you in the act, and punish you.”

She was stark bollock naked.Stepping out into the hallway was going to necessitate clothing.Also, he seemed curiously engaged by this idea.That did surprise her a little, considering recent events and the amount of time he spent warding off unwelcome attention.Then again, she’d never known a man who was a bigger bundle of contradictions.

“Spook, you wouldn’t really do that to an obsessive fan girl?”

“Spank her?Hell, no.Are you insane?I’d leg it and call security.”He blew out a frighteningly long breath while shaking his head.

“Okay, that’s good.Just checking.You’re not going to call them on me, are you?”

“Someone’s not very trusting,” he said, voice all sweetness and light.

Alle planted her hands on her hips in the way she’d seen Ash’s fiancée do.It made all of the Black Halo boys shape up when Ginny did it.Spook merely looked bemused.

“Ah, you’re impossible,” she cursed.

“No—you’ve just some addled idea that I’m nice.”

It wasn’t an addled belief.It was the truth.He was a sensitive, empathic soul.Sexy as hell too.Probably good with animals and small kids.Crazy good-looking, and a halfway decent cook by all accounts.It just so happened, he had a few naughty peccadillos.

“Scoot.”He jerked his head towards the door.“I want to see your best sneaking.”

Alle scooped up his shirt as he reached for the lamp switch.There wasn’t time before it was pitch black for her to grab any panties.Luckily, his shirt was long enough to cover her modesty.Well, just about.It mostly covered her arse.And, she’d only be outside the room for a couple of seconds.
