A week later, Erin announced that two houses, one in Montgomery and one in Kenwood met her basic requirements quite closely, but would need a good deal of remodeling to bring them up to code.
“Keep looking,” Tim advised.

In the fourth week, Erin returned from her evening shift quite depressed.
Sensing her frustration, Tim pulled her into his arms right away. “What’s wrong? Problems at work?”
“No. It’s about my house search.”
“Ah, that…” He crushed her mouth with a searing kiss intended to make her forget her disappointment. “Don’t give up. You’ll findyourhouse eventually.” He showered her face with kisses.
“You don’t understand. I saw my dream house today, but…” Her lips curled down.
“You saw it? Then why the desperate look?”
“It’ssoooexpensive. Unreachable.”
“Tell me about it.”
Her eyes sparkled with excitement. “It has everything I want and more—a pool, an in-law suite, like a cottage attached to the house, a finished basement with a playroom.”
“It sounds great to me. What’s the list price?”
She told him and he gasped. “It’s double what you wanted to pay.”
“Maybe in time, I can have a cheaper house remodeled to look like that one.”
“Maybe… I’d like to visit this house with you tomorrow.”
“I’ll tell the real estate agent to arrange another visit.”
“Perfect. Why don’t you change while I pour us a drink?”
Tim ran down to the kitchen and returned with two glasses of scotch on the rocks, something strong enough to help her unwind.
Damn it, he was the one in need of unwinding. The sight of Erin in her pink and black nightie, her pale blond hair hanging midway down her back, turned him rock-hard.
“Cheers. Hopefully you’ll move into your dream house soon.” He clinked his glass against hers and tossed down half of his to slow his racing pulse.
“Wishful thinking, but cheers anyway.” She returned his toast and slowly sipped.
“Lie down on the bed. I’ll massage your back to help you unwind.”
He lowered her straps and swallowed hard. She’d forgotten to wear a bra. Flattening his palms against her back, he pressed, stroked, and kneaded her knotted muscles, trying to ignore his own rigid one. He worked his way down, lowering the silky material to her waist and her lower back.
Oh man, she’d shunned the underwear, too. Bending his head, he massaged her with his lips, then stretched over her back and slipped his hands under her, cupping a breast, and parting her legs, his fingers gliding deep into her core, teasing and exciting her.
“No fair.” She moaned. “I can’t reach you.”
“Right away, babe.” He scrambled to the side, and when she rolled he covered her with his body and thrust into her. She locked her legs around his back and matched his relentless rhythm.
“I love you, Tim,” she moaned as an explosion ripped through him and he spilled himself into her.
“I love you, Erin.” Once again, he promised himself he would never let her go.
