Now that he’d watched Ginger come, Derek decided he could die a happy man And if he didn’t need to remove himself froain just to re-witness her pleasure Reluctantly, he tore his eyes away fro his forehead on her shoulder

“Is this service included in the rent?” she panted

Derek laughed into her neck, pleased as hell Goddamn, he loved the fact that unlike er didn’t cla excuses for her behavior or questioning what it meant

“You’re not paying rent”

She sighed “Derek”

He couldn’t stop hiently into her supple flesh with his fingers “We’ll work soer”

“I don’t like the sound of that”

“I’ about sex”

“Oh”

Derek grinned at the poorly hidden disappointment in her voice, but it quickly faded when his need ratcheted up another level He needed to get out of there Fast But first, “I have a way to un-blur those lines you’re so concerned about”

Involuntarily, he was sure, Ginger’s eyes dropped to his er inside his pants “Well, let’s hear it, Lieutenant”

“I need a favor”

She s…”

“Not that kind of favor” He pressed a hand to her waist to keep her still and laughed under his breath “I’ve been roped into attending a charity dinner toht and I need you to come with me As my date”

Ginger didn’t respond, just pinned hi look

“I told you I wouldn’t accept money from you and I won’t, but since you’re deter, I’d consider it payment in full for the use of the room”

“And there it is” Ginger shivered “A date, huh? You know it’s not going to be easy to find someone to cover my shift on this short of notice”

“Can you be ready by seven?”

She sighed “Fine”

“I’ll leave you to your shohile I still can”
