commandeer control of the paperwork. She’ll crack the whip and have this project done ASAP.”
    Tara was one of their best project managers. Trevor smiled. The work crews feared and respected her, while at the same time they all tried to get her number. She was cute as a button and worked hard, always respecting the company rule of no fraternization between employees.
    “I know your mom likes all of you to be home for the holidays.”
    Leaving the job meant ending his alone time with Lorelei. He’d enjoyed these last few days with her. If they weren’t laughing about something, they were making love. And, damn, she was amazing in bed.
    He couldn’t get enough of her and she was insatiable too. They were both making up for lost time. He’d left her this morning sleeping soundly. Even his showering and getting dressed after hadn’t disturbed her. Apparently their bedroom antics last night had left him a little off his game, too.
    “Yeah, I’m going to do that. I can probably get the airline to move up our tickets.”
    “Our tickets?” Brad grinned and gave him a curious look. “I haven’t seen anyone here at the site with you.”
    Shit. Now the whole work crew would be gossiping about who he’d secreted away in his hotel room.
    “You be quiet or I’ll send in Eli as admin and reassign Tara.”
    His burly construction manager’s eyes widened and he swallowed a laugh. “Please don’t. I won’t say a word.”
    Trevor grinned and then walked back to his vehicle. The image of Lorelei spread out across the hotel room bed warmed his heart and his blood.

    Two hours later he was back at the hotel. He’d already called the airport in Crescent City and moved their departure time from tomorrow to this afternoon. They would be back in Fort Worth in time for a late dinner.
    He opened the room door and was disappointed to see the bed made and Lorelei nowhere in sight. Of course her things were everywhere. Clothes were draped across nearly every furniture surface and her paper and books covered the other surfaces. When they had their own place together her stuff would need to live in an office. When they had their own place… Would she want more than this? His heart went cold at the thought of her telling him no. What if she didn’t want to stay together? What if this was just a fun fling for her?
    He wanted it to be more. For the first time in his life, he was sure he wanted the whole package.
    A home.
    Kids.
    Everything.
    “Lorelei?”
    “I’m in the tub.”
    He pulled open the bathroom door and poked his head inside. She was hidden under the water and inches of bubbles in the large hotel garden bathtub. He closed the door behind him and leaned against the bathroom counter.
    “You are back early.”
    “Tara will be here tomorrow and Brad has everything under control. I moved our flights up to this afternoon. We should be back in town by dinner.”
    Her lips curved down into a frown. “I will miss this hotel room. I was looking forward to one more night.”
    Deep breath. “I’d like to continue seeing you when we get home. I don’t want us to be over just because we are going home.”
    A high-pitched squeal filled the small bathroom. He laughed, watching her clamber out of the tub naked and covered in bubbles. Moments later she was plastered against him and pulling his head down to kiss her.
    He obliged, wrapping his hands around her slick wet body. His mouth closed over hers and she pushed her tongue into his mouth. She was voracious and he loved that about her. Her hands were making quick work of the buttons on his shirt and a few moments later it was lying in a puddle on the tile floor.
    Her moans hardened him instantly and he squeezed her ass, enjoying the squeak it elicited from her. He lifted her and turned, resting her bottom on the vanity counter and leaned her back against the mirror. He dipped his head and captured one of her breasts in his mouth laving the nipple until it was hard as
