“Unless you want to be with her,” chimed in Alex. “Then keep her. Do whatever makes you happy.”

“Okay, thanks,” I muttered. I wasn’t sure what else to say. Did I really trust Alex and Mom? They had been loyal to Pauly for so long that I was skeptical but hopeful.

“Can you come to the house, and we can work out the details of the legal business?” Alex asked.

“I think I picked the right avenue for you,” I said. “How did Pauly not know you were fucking with the cameras?”

“I’m an IT whiz,” laughed Alex. “He’s just an old man who’s scared of technology.”

“The business I’m looking at for you is house security. It’s a newer company, but the potential is insane. All the bones are already in place. The guy is selling because he has three other companies, all headed for billions,” I explained. “I can come by tomorrow if you want?”

I added the last part on a whim. I didn’t want to go see Alex tomorrow. What I really wanted was to spend the day with Sarah. Although it was safe for her to leave, I was terrified. What if she didn’t want to stay with me? What if she left, and that was the end of it? I had to make sure she stayed as long as possible. I’d make sure she knew I was the best person for her to be with. I had no idea how, but I knew I had to try at least. I’d never forgive myself if I didn’t.

“Sure!” my mom exclaimed, elated. “I’ll make you lunch.”

“Okay, great,” I said weakly. “I’ll be there for noon.” Maybe I could discuss the possibility of a legal merge between Alex and Sarah’s dad then. I was scared to hope that any of this could end in anything except heartache, but I was going to try.

When I walked back into the chalet, Sarah looked at me quizzically. “Any news?’ she asked.

“I’m not sure,” I lied. “Maybe? I have to go meet Alex tomorrow.”

“Oh,” said Sarah. Her face remained impassive. I couldn’t read her thoughts.

“I won’t be gone too long,” I assured.

“Okay. You’ll tell me when I can go home right?” she asked.

“Yes, of course.”

That evening, I vowed to make sure it was the best one she’d had with me yet. If I was going to win her over, it had to be now. I was running out of time.

Maybe I should just talk to her. Tell her the truth and let her tell me whether she wants to be with me or not. Maybe she feels the same as me.

But what if she didn’t? I was scared to ask her—scared that she would tell me everything I didn’t want to hear. That she was only with me because we were trapped together and that she couldn’t wait to leave. I knew I had to talk to her soon, but I wanted to enjoy the last few days with her while I finished working things out with Alex. No, I’d leave it alone for now. No sense in getting us both worked up until I was sure she could go and that Alex wasn’t calling my bluff. I also wanted to make sure I had a plan for her family before I told her. I figured there was a better chance she’d stay if she could see how hard I was trying to make everything right.

I pushed the thoughts out of my head and focused on the present.

“I have something special planned for us tonight. Since I know this has been hard,” I said. Sarah looked at me, her blue eyes shining.

“Really?” she asked. “Ithasbeen a bit rough lately.”

“Yep, really. Wait here. I just have to run out and grab a couple of things.”

It took me 20 minutes to get to the nearest mall. I flew as fast as I dared on my Ducati, and a trip that should have taken me two hours only took me an hour to complete. When I got home, I snuck my bags into the bedroom and quickly ran a warm bath for Sarah. I filled the luxury tub with bubbles and floated some candles and rose petals on the top. Next, I prepared the bedroom. I changed the sheets and set the lighting down low. I put the massage oil beside the bed, and then I called Sarah in.

“Wow,” she said when she entered the bathroom that had been transformed into a twinkling romantic haven.

I helped Sarah into the tub, admiring her body as she sat down. Her belly was beginning to fill in, not like she was pregnant but more like someone who had eaten a big meal. Her breasts were noticeably bigger now, though, and to me, she looked radiant and full of life.

“Are you going to join me?’ she asked.

My cock twitched in answer. “Do you want me to?”

“Yes,” she murmured and scooted forward in the wide tub. I dropped my shorts and underwear and climbed in behind her. Sarah leaned back against me and sighed contentedly.

“This is great.”

“Do you want me to wash your hair?” I asked.
