He tilted her chin up and wiped at the tears, his expression tender. "You are loved in ways you cannot imagine."

"I am beginning to realize that." She hiccupped. "You did not call me."

"I was pissed. You distracted me and I could not concentrate on the damn meeting."

"I do that a lot." She leaned into him and he took her lips in a kiss that had her breath hitching. "Make love to me. Here and now."

"The meal-"

"Can wait. I need you Wade. I need to feel you inside me. To touch my womb as only you can. To make me feel as if I am the most beautiful woman in the world."

"You are." He cupped her face. "And you are mine." He braced her back against the glossy tiles and stepped between her open thighs. "I am yours."

"Yes. All mine." She scraped his flesh with her nails and felt when he quivered. Lifting her head, she crushed his lips with hers, her body jolting as she lifted her leg and felt him slide into her. "Don't stop."

"I won't. Can't." He nibbled at her neck, his body heating up with the familiar desire. Within minutes, they were both lost in the intensity of the lovemaking.

"I am staying away from wine, just in case."

He handed her a piece of homemade roll and ate the rest. "You think it is already happening?"

"I hope so." She flashed him a smile. "It would not be for lack of trying."

"It would not," he agreed. "But I am certain that a glass every once in a while is allowed."

"I am erring on the side of caution."

He eyed her for a minute before slicing off a bit of roast and popping it into his mouth. "I see. We were supposed to have gone for drinks with the Willoughby's."

"We were?" A frown pleated her brow. "I had no idea."

"Darling, if you would only check your schedule, it would help."

"I am up to my ears in trying to get this thing done."

"And I told you to hire more people."

"Were they upset?"

"They understood that you are pressed for time. And I did not particularly feel like company."

"Because you were pissed at me."

"That's right."

"I have to stop doing that."

His thick eyebrows lifted. He was flushed and sated from the intense lovemaking in the bathroom and at peace with the world. His woman was seated across from him and the fire was blazing in the hearth. He could afford to be generous. "Will you?"

She reached for the glass, unthinkingly and took a sip of the excellent blend. "I made a vow while I was in the bathroom."

"And that would be?"

"I was going to be a better girlfriend."

"Girlfriend?" Amusement tilted his sensuous lips.
