Christmas with the Boss (10 page)

“Still got that potty mouth too, I see?”

“Oh, grow up and stop playing games. Give
me the rest of my things. I’ll get changed and take my cheap body and potty
mouth out of your saintly world.”

“Never a cheap body, Regs.” Rod lifted
his arm and ran his hand through his hair and the towel slipped a little. Regan
kept her eyes fixed firmly above his waist.

“I’m telling the truth. You didn’t have
one. Sweetheart, I carried you in.” He pointed to the dress she now clutched in
front of her breasts. “One slinky red dress that I had hell’s own trouble
getting off you.” He flicked his glance lower and pointed to the shoes in her
hand. “One pair of shoes and no purse. And the sexy red thong and bra. Still
like expensive underwear, I see.”

Regan groaned and covered her eyes.
Prickly heat ran through her at the thought of Rod carrying her in, and
undressing her while she was out like a light.

My credit cards, my cash.
Everything she owned had been
in that purse because she’d not wanted to leave it in the cheap hotel with the
cardboard-thin doors. The only thing she’d left behind was her cell phone
hidden in the lining of her case. She’d had no one to ring in Cairns so she’d
left it behind. Life was a bit lonely these days but that still didn’t mean she
was going to welcome Rod Carruthers back into her life with open arms. Hell
would freeze over first.

“What time is it?” She had to get out of
here. Luckily she’d left her key at the hotel desk because it wouldn’t fit in
her purse.

“Almost noon. You’ve slept over twelve
hours. I was giving you till noon before I woke you.”

“Holy hell.” Regan jumped out of the bed
and scurried barefooted to the bathroom door, clutching her dress over her
breasts. She couldn’t be late for her appointment. Her future depended on it.
