QUOTE : NICK WOKE UP the next morning not immediately recognizing his surroundings. An occupational hazard. When he felt the silk comforter brush against his bare chest in a caress, he remembered.<br /><br />Jordan.<br /><br />He wondered how angry she’d still be that morning. If he were an introspective person, one of those in-touch-with-hidden-emotions types—aka a woman—he would probably take note of the fact that it was much harder to blow off her dislike of him than it had been merely six days ago. And, if he were an introspective person, he might also ask himself what he’d been doing by calling in that favor with his boss last night.<br /><br />Thank goodness, then, that he wasn’t such a person.<br /><br />Because if he were, he would also have to tell himself to shut up and stop asking so many damn questions. He had an assignment to focus on.
