prevented that. Would he be understanding when she told him sex was out of the question as she had been awake and busy for the last thirty-six hours and was beyond exhausted?
    “Eden? You okay in there?”
    Taking a deep breath, Eden opened the door and pushed past the man without looking at him. If she did, she would try to find enough energy to fuck again even though she had nothing left.
    Keeping her back to him, she wrapped her arms around her waist. “I’m fine. I think you should go home because I’m too tired for sex tonight. I’m sorry.”
    She jumped when warm hands covered her shoulders. They gently massaged the sore muscles there before turning her around. She kept her head down, staring at Bailey’s chest so she did not have to see the disappointment or anger in his expression.
    “Sweet Lady Eden, I would love nothing more than to love on you in every way I could for the rest of the night, but even more, I would be honored if you would allow me to simply hold you while you sleep.”
    “Just sleep?” she asked, lifting her head to look at him in surprise.
    “Yes, sunflower. Just sleep.”
    He pulled her in and hugged her gently, kissing the top of her head. She sighed and leaned more heavily against him, feeling what was left of her energy quickly drain down and out of her feet.
    Just as she was about to tip over into sleep standing up, Bailey squeezed her tighter. “Let’s get you tucked into bed.”
    She nodded against his chest in agreement. When he released her and took a step back, she swayed then took two staggering steps toward the bed, not concerned that she probably looked like a drunken sailor. On the way, she stripped off her clothes. By the time she reached the bed, she was naked. She fell onto the mattress then rolled over and smiled sleepily at Bailey as he pulled the covers up to her chin.
    “Go to sleep, sunflower. I’ll be here when you wake up.”
    “Okay,” she sighed as her eyes drifted shut and sleep claimed her.

    Bailey used the bathroom before sliding into bed next to the woman he believed stronger than ever was made just for him. As soon as he settled on his back, Eden rolled over and snuggled up next to him. He sighed as her body fit against his perfectly. Yep, he thought, Eden Xavier was the woman he had been looking for since he was old enough to know the difference between men and women.
    He lay for a long time just holding Eden, breathing her womanly scents and wishing he did not have to leave for the other side of the world in less than two weeks. If he had his way, he would stay right here with a warm woman by his side for the rest of his life.
    He smiled and petted Eden’s head when she shifted against him, snuggling even closer. “You’re mine, sunflower,” he whispered to the dark. “Mine, mine, all mine.”

Chapter 6

    “What the holy fuck is going on in here?”
    Eden woke with a jump and a squeal. She tried to roll out of bed to face the intruder standing, but a thick, hard bar across her back held her tight against the warm, hard body she was half lying on. When she considered things in the next second, that was probably a good thing. She was, after all, naked. Opening her eyes, she found that her brother stood in the doorway looking like his head was about to pop off. The last thing he needed right now was to see her in all her curvy nakedness.
    Shifting against the man, she felt soft cotton separating her upper thigh from his erect cock.
    “Good morning, Adam,” she said, trying to ignore the hand that was slowly inching its way down the side of her body back to her hips then across her ass.
    “That’s all you have to say to me? Good morning, Adam? Eden, who the hell is that guy, and what the fuck is he doing in your bed?”
    “He and I were sleeping quite soundly until you so rudely woke us up. What do you want?”
    “It’s two o’clock in the afternoon, and you haven’t been in the shop today. When I checked downstairs, Crow said he
