Chapter 24

Maya Pov

When I awake I'm sluggish, my mind is a murky pond of water, and I'm trying to see through it to the bottom. It takes only a second for me to remember the events from the night before, and my eyes flutter open at the same time, my body jackknifes upward and into a sitting position. For a fraction of a second, dizziness overtakes me and then fades away. Frantically, I look down at my body and find myself naked.

Clenching my thighs together, I feel a little soreness and pain. Did I have sex with that man? Looking at the spot beside me, expecting to see the stranger.I find that it's empty. Relief floods my veins, but that relief is short-lived when I hear a throat clear across the room.

"Good morning, Maya." His deep husky voice makes me shiver.

Slowly looking his way, I find he's leaning against the wall, wearing nothing besides a pair of low hanging shorts. What the hell was Lorenzo doing in my room?
