face. Hopefully, he would take the hint and leave town altogether, and she would never have to face him again.
She could either ring him or fax him to let him know if Sandie was pregnant or not. Lord, she hoped her little sister wasn't, it didn't bare thinking about. Wrapping a towel around herself, she unlocked the door and stepped into the bedroom. She raised a brow when she saw the handsome hunk pacing the floor. He looked downright mad and it made her smile. “Showers free.”
So lost in his thoughts, Nate spun around at the sound of the husky voice, he stopped moving and lifted his dark brow as his gaze swiftly ran over her. He clenched his jaw at the sexy sight she made dressed in only a towel, her shoulders and the tops of her breasts still glistened with water and making him aroused all over again. He tore his eyes away and stared at the wall behind her. “ First, I want to know where I'm meant to spend the day and most of the evening while I wait for you to return home?”
Cooper shrugged her shoulder at his angry question. “Beats me. But you're not staying here. Now if you would like to take a shower I suggest you do it now. Because in twenty minutes I'll be leaving for work.”
Nate gritted his teeth as he watched her turn away and head for the built in wardrobe. “ Fine. I'll just fetch my bag from the car.” He stomped over to the door and pulled it open. “ Damn aggravating woman." He grumbled as he strode down the stairs and out of the house.
A smile of mischief on her face, Cooper reached for her clothing. The man was so easily riled and she couldn't wait to stir him up some more when he returned. She knew what she was going to say to him would have his temper rising, and just as she did up the zip on her skirt, he strode through the doorway. “In case you're interested I thought to let you know that since you didn't use protection last night that you don't have to worry about any unwanted consequences. I'm on the pill and just for safety sake I took a morning after pill. Today while I'm at work I'll run some tests on myself to make sure there isn't anything else I might have to concern myself with.”
When she started speaking to him, Nate closed his eyes in horror. God damn it all , he never gave any thought to anything else other than burying himself inside her. He let out a sigh of relief, and opened his eyes when she told him she was protected, but he gnashed his teeth and he silently steamed in outrage when she finally finished speaking.
Flashing her a look of pure venom, he hefted his bag and strode towards the bathroom, but stopped just inside the doorway. “I'll have you know woman I am healthy and free from disease.” With that, he stepped forward and slammed the door shut. "Damn smart mouth annoying woman." He muttered to himself as he dropped his bag, and started to strip off his clothing.
It was hard but she managed to hold back her laughter. Cooper did her hair and made the bed. When she heard the shower turn off, she checked the time and saw that she still had ten minutes left. She thought about offering him a cup of coffee but decided not to. The sooner he was out of the house, the better.
Her gaze swung towards the bathroom when the door opened and the gorgeous hunk stepped out, her insides quivered and heat pooled between her thighs. Lord, he looked fantastic. The sleeves of his white shirt were rolled up and the two top buttons at the collar were left undone. The silk material molded itself to his magnificent body, and a spear of heat stabbed her in the pit of her stomach.
She was unable to stop her gaze dropping and swallowed, those jeans should be outlawed, she thought . They fitted so snuggly that they left very little to her imagination. It was only when he started to walk forward that she was able to tear her gaze away and meet his.
Nate did some thinking while he showered, and thought it best not to antagonize the woman if he wanted to stay. Not only did he want to
