“You really are serious about getting married there before we transform it into a shelter?”
“It was Margaret’s idea.”
“And what does Margaret think about your plan to quit working?”
“She wants me to be happy. And she’s probably confident I can keep paying her bills through the occasional modeling contracts. I’ve had a lot of offers since I did Charlene’s show. A publisher reached out to Margaret with a potential book deal too. They think my story can help others.”
“You should do it,” I say. “I’ll manage the barn construction while you write, and design software, and box …”
Yes, I snuck that last to-do item in there out of pure self-interest. I will love Gavin not matter what. But I wouldn’t object to exploring his abs after a good, hard workout in the ring. I’ve even suggested adding one to his country house.
“I might,” he says. “But it’s not what I want to do right now.”
“Oh? What’s that?” I tease, knowing that this shouldn’t go any further. I pulled the curtain that hides his room from view of the hall, but the door remains unlocked.
“Kayla, come here.” He takes my hand and draws me up on the bed. Lying on my side, I barely fit between his body and the plastic barricade designed to keep patients from falling out of the bed.
Patients. Not their lovers.
“Gavin, I know what you’re thinking,” I say. I’ve been day-dreaming about the same thing.
“Really?” He raises one eyebrow. Even lying in a hospital bed, wearing a blue gown that opens in the back, he’s impossibly sexy. “Why don’t you tell me what I’m thinking? Don’t leave out any of the details. And feel free to make all the sex noises you need to fully communicate precisely what I’m picturing right now.”
I run my hand over his gown-covered chest. My fingers reach the edge of the blanket and dip underneath. Slowly, I pull the hospital-issued blue bedding to his waist. “You’re thinking the door’s unlocked, so someone could walk in at any minute and discover us.”
“Doing what?” he says hoarsely. “We look innocent enough.”
I pull the hospital bedding lower still. Then I reach for his gown and take it in the opposite direction until I can clearly see he’s not wearing underwear.
“Do you want to guess why I wore a skirt today?” I murmur as I slide down the bed.
“Why?”
The fabric bunches at my waist leaving me completely naked from the waist down. Slowly, carefully, I straddle his erection.
“I thought it was about time we start working on my fantasies,” I say.
His hands wrap around my waist, guiding my movements as he breaks into a smile. “Walking the hall of the hospital without your panties turns you on?”
I stare down at the man I’ve loved for as long as I can remember, at my best friend, the one person I need by side no matter what life throws at us.
“It’s you, Gavin. You’re my fantasy. And you always will be.”
The humor fades from his dark eyes. His lips part and the Gavin Black Billionaire mask fades into the background. It’s still there, but I can see all of him right now.
“I love you,” I add.
“I love you too, Kayla.” He flashes a wicked smile. “Not let’s make sure the entire hospital knows it. But promise me one thing?”
“Anything,” I say, rocking my hips as he slides inside me.
“No fake sex sounds,” he growls, his hips rising to meet mine.
“I promise. But Gavin, it goes both ways in this relationship, remember?”
“Always.”
