Athena opens her mouth to speak, and I hold up a hand.
“It’s a secret.”
Andy taps the side of his nose, nods, then takes his wife’s hand and walks out to their waiting car.
“Why didn’t you want me to tell them?”
Smiling, I shut the door, guide Athena into our bedroom, and close the door.
“Too many ears out there. We want a nice relaxing time. The security guards could tell the paparazzi, and then we’d never have any peace. They’ll find us, but I’m not making it easy for them.”
The only downside to being an actor is it’s hard to keep your personal life private.
Athena falls backward onto the bed. “I think I’m tired.”
“We have a house full of people.”
She raises onto her elbows. “Can I persuade you to stay here with me and leave them to party all night on their own?” Athena reaches down and pulls up her dress, exposing a good deal of leg.
With a shake of my head, I sit beside her and place a hand on her knee. “I have a surprise.”
Athena sits up. “What kind of surprise? Like sex toys? Or a new kinky position?”
Laughter rumbles up out of my chest. “No.”
“Oh.” She looks disappointed, which makes me laugh harder.
“Maybe later,” I say through more laughter. “I packed another bag for you for tonight.” Standing, I hold out my hands to her. She places her soft small ones in mine, and I pull her to her feet. “We’re running away, now.”
“Now?”
“Yep. I’ve left Todd in charge of making sure the house doesn’t get vandalized, so we can escape early.”
Athena’s hands work their way up my body, and she entwines them in my hair. “Where are we going?”
Shaking my head, I kiss her lips. “No telling. Come on, let’s say our goodbyes and go in search of those sex toys or a kinky position.”
Athena giggles. “Iwaskidding.”
“Sure, you were,” I reply sarcastically. “Mywife,the deviant.”
Her face goes soft, and she whispers, “Say it again.”
Moving closer to her, my lips a hair’s breadth away from hers, I say, “My wife.”
Athena smiles and closes the gap, her tongue darting into my mouth. A moan escapes me as I crush her to me. She’s the only woman I’ve ever loved. It took us years to get here, and I’m not going to waste any more time than we have together. My hands explore her body over the soft, flowing material of her gown. I’m tempted to take her here and now, claiming her as my wife, but I have plans. Reaching up, I take her hands in mine and break our kiss.
“Aww!” protests Athena.
“Soon.” Kissing the knuckles on each hand, I reluctantly let her go. “Come on, one sweep around the room, and then we’re out of here, Mrs. Livingston.”
Again, her face goes soft, and she repeats, “Mrs. Livingston.”
Shaking my head at her with what I’m sure is the biggest grin I’ve ever had, I drag my wife from our bedroom.
