“She’ll cook for you.” She leaned her head against his shoulder. “She loves to cook, especially a Sunday afternoon meal.”
“With all the excitement with your grandparents I haven’t had a chance to give you your present.” He reached into the inside pocket of his suit jacket. “I got this for you for your performance tonight. I know flowers are traditional, but I wanted something that would last.”
“Tyler? You’ve given me enough.”
“I haven’t given you nearly enough.” He opened his palm to reveal the platinum charm bracelet he’d picked out for her. “I selected a few charms, but we can go this week and pick out some that you might want.”
“That’s beautiful.” She traced her finger along the delicate silver bracelet. “A cello.” She smiled when she admired her instrument of choice. “I love it.”
“What about this one?” He slipped his finger under the charm of the comedy and tragedy mask. “Do you know what that one is for?”
“The first play you took me to see.”
“Exactly. And this one?” He grinned when he pointed out the cherry charm.
“Tyler.” Even in the dim lighting of the car, he saw the blush in her cheeks.
“What? I know how much you enjoy a cherry in your martini glass. Seriously, what did you think it was for?” He tugged at the ends of her hair. “You naughty girl.”
“Hmm...” She pointed out the double heart charm edged in diamonds. “This one is gorgeous.”
“That’s a special one.” He placed the bracelet on her wrist. “That’s our two hearts intertwined forever.”
“You have got to be the most romantic man on the planet.” She kissed him. “Thank you.”
“I would never have considered myself romantic before meeting you.” He cupped her cheeks in his hands. “Just know that it’s all for you. You’re the only woman it will ever be for.”
“I love you,” she whispered. “More every day, and not because you shower me with lavish gifts. You’re very generous, but you know I’d be here anyway.”
“I know you don’t expect anything.” He’d never met a more sincere woman before. She always appreciated everything he did for her, and to him, the things he did for her never seemed like enough.
“I love you for so many reasons, but the most important one is the way you make me feel inside.”
“How do you feel inside?” He grazed his lips across her soft mouth. “Tell me.”
“You make me feel like I was only ever meant for you. When you look at me, I sense your desire, the raw need, not just to be intimate, but to love and respect me. I hope you know how much I reciprocate. How much I want and need you.”
“I feel it every day, baby.” He pulled her to him and settled her against his side, taking her hand in his. “We have so much more to look forward to.”
Chapter 13
Tyler stared at thecomputer screen, going over the newest request from the Haller account. This client was starting to be more trouble than they were worth.
“Hey,” Spencer said as he entered Tyler’s office and shut the door behind him. “How’s it going?”
