Eden chuckled. “Oh, we’re the sweet side of life?”
“Absolutely. We’re going to find someone who will sweep her off her feet and show her what it feels like to be valued and not just during the chase.”
Eden smiled and watched Randi get up and close the door. She walked around Eden’s desk and sat in her lap.
“Oh!”
Randi smiled. ”Are there rules about kissing at work?”
Eden chuckled. “Well, you did close the door.”
Randi pecked her on the lips. “You know what happens in Vegas?”
“Yeah.” Eden grinned. “Gambling.”
“What else?”
“Drinking.” Eden raised her brows.
“Yeah?” Randi giggled and began to hum the wedding march.
Eden laughed. “So you want to go from friends to lovers togirlfriends to partners to wives?”
“I know what you’re thinking,” Randi said. “That’s quite the turnaround from all the doubts just a couple of days ago.”
Eden smiled and tilted her head.
“When you know you know,” Randi stated. “Is that a trope?”
Eden shook her head. “I told you, we’re not a romance novel.”
Randi cupped the side of Eden’s face. “We may not be a book, but we are romance.”
She paused and Eden could see her green eyes sparkle.
“And we’re love,” Randi said.
Eden softly pressed her lips to Randi’s in a slow deliberate kiss. She inhaled, put her hand at the nape of Randi’s neck, and deepened the kiss. Randi’s moan made Eden melt inside. They were a lot of things, but one thing Eden knew for sure is that she and Randi were forever.
One Year Later
Eden stretched as the sun warmed her skin. Her eyes were closed behind her sunglasses and the scant bikini left little to the imagination.
“You’re staring,” she said, pursing her lips.
“I certainly am,” Randi replied with an appreciative lilt to her voice.
Eden opened her eyes and could see love and a hint of lust in Randi’s vibrant green eyes. At times Eden found it hard to tear her eyes away from Randi. Her beautiful hair, sparkling eyes, and that smile! She could stare all she wanted now. She reached out her hand. “You’re too far away.”
Randi grinned, pushed her lounger so it butted up next to Eden’s, and stretched out beside her. She grasped Eden’s hand between both of hers. “You are so beautiful.”
“Mmm.” Eden moaned and bent one knee to rub her foot up Randi’s leg. “Right back at you, love.”
Randi chuckled and kissed the back of Eden’s hand. “We’re finally on vacation and Analise paid for it!”
“We made her a lot of money last year,” Eden pointed out.
“Yeah, we did.” Randi smiled. “I think she tried to plan the perfect vacation for us based on that one game of Codenames.”
