the slightly ajar door.
Steam escaped from the hot shower and the scent of lavender stung
his nose. Glancing in the mirror, he could see Kate, alone. No one
was with her in the bathroom. She'd showered alone.
    He leaned in closer, watching her wrap a
lush bath towel around her voluptuous body. She tucked one corner
between her significant bosoms, preventing the towel from falling. God what he'd give to tug at that towel, dropping it to the
floor and reveal Kate's full breasts!
    A second later Kate's hand slid over the
steamy mirror, clearing a spot for her to view her face. With the
back of her hand, she wiped away tears and then gently touched the
puffiness under her eyes with her fingertips. The delicate way she
nursed herself broke Rome's heart. He'd kill the bastard who'd done
this to her.
    His nostrils flared at thinking a man had
slinked out of Kate's house recently. Leaving her high and dry
after a hit and run sexual encounter.
    A movement in the mirror caught Rome's
attention. Kate was smoothing lotion over her neck and shoulders.
Cocking his head to the side, he watched as she lavishly spread the
creamy white liquid over her soft skin. Swallowing hard, Rome
shifted his stance.
    Rome imagined his hands gliding over her
soft skin, smoothing the lotion in places she couldn't reach. She'd
moan when his hands slid over her tense muscles. Relieving stress
from the workday and letting out little groans of delight and
relinquished pleasure.
    He would lean her against the counter and
pull her body close to his, while she placed her hands on the back
of his head guiding him to her mouth. He imagined her velvety lips
hungrily accepting his advances. A gasp found its way out of his
throat and escaped.
    “Oh my God!” Kate's voice squealed. “How
long have you been there?”
    “Umm,” Rome's voice caught in his throat.
“I-I...”
    “Oh my God!” Kate tugged the towel around
her tighter. “What the hell! How did you get in here?”
    Her anger exploded. Her turquoise eyes
flared with a wrath ready to destroy. Rome had never seen Kate so
enraged, and he appeared to be the cause of her fury.
    “Oh, man.” Rome released a sigh, opened his
mouth to try and explain.
    “How did you get in here? Why the hell are
you here? Oh my God!”
    Kate slung one arm through a robe she'd
retrieved from behind the door. She finagled her body into the
garment, never permitting the towel to reveal an inch of skin
despite his sub-conscious pleas.
    “Jesus, Rome!”
    She struggled to tie the belt, her wet
blonde hair flying wildly around her, making her appear
uncontrollable. God help Rome, all he could think about was what a
wildcat she'd be in bed with this passion.
    He tried to explain his purpose for invading
her Saturday morning but she continued, “I mean what the hell! Do
you think you can just waltz in here anytime you want?”
    “No, I came over...”
    “I mean, what the hell could you possibly
need...”
    “I came over to...”
    How could he explain that he’d come to tell
her loved her. That he was sorry about his past behavior. His mind
drifted back to the night before as she’d swaggered across the
room. Her hip-hugging mini skirt molded to her every curve. When
she strutted past him, his pants needed more room for movement and
all he could do was stare at Kurt, listening to some meaningless
story. He’d nodded his head, snubbing Kate's exhibition.
    “Well?” She planted her hands on her hips
impatiently waiting for an explanation. He'd never seen her look
more beautiful.
    “Huh? I came over here to... I really don't
know.” He smiled, hoping he could use his charm to avoid an
ass-chewing.
    Kate's eyes sparkled with fury, her chest
heaved with emotion. Her breasts went up and down, her breathing
hastened.
    “You don't know?”
    “No,” he chuckled, anticipating a reprieve.
But apparently today was not going to be his lucky day.
    Kate started pacing in the confines of her
small bathroom. She mumbled words of anger
