"That’s what I keep telling myself." He rose. "Now my dear, I’m afraid I have a meeting."
"I have to get back to my writing." She wrapped her hands around him as he hugged her. "Thanks for telling me all that."
"You’re welcome."
"I need a favor."
"Anything."
"Find out if Brady is in his office. I need a minute with him."
"Of course." He smiled at her and went to his desk.

"I thought you’d left." He looked up when she in and closed the doors behind her.
"I asked your assistant to give me five minutes."
"What for?" He was standing behind his desk and watching her.
"This." Moving forward swiftly, she came and wrapped herself around him. "I love you so much and I know I keep messing up, but I can’t be without you. It's scaring the crap out of me."
His green eyes darkened and his arms came around to hold her against him. He couldn’t stay angry with her, not when she held his entire life in her hands. He loved her so much it made him weak and needy.
Tilting her chin up, he brushed his lips against hers softly, slowly absorbing the taste and texture of her. His hands drifted down to her curves in the dark blue wool pants in gentle caress. "That's handy because I can’t live without you either."
"If you want, I can cancel dinner with Todd."
He laughed gently, one hand cupping her cheek. "How else am I going to get the dirt on you?"
"I’m an open book."
"Yeah, right." Pressing his lips against hers again, he kissed her deeply and had her clinging to him as she returned the kiss. Breaking away, he stroked his hands up and down her arms as he breathed her in and struggled for control. "I’ll try and get away early so we can have dinner on the patio."
"I was thinking the same thing. I love you."
"I adore you." He kissed her again. “Go before I forget that I have work to do.”

Tiffany hid behind a trailer parked a few feet away from the building and watched as she drove out. She’d tailed the bitch to the precinct and wondered if, by chance, she’d discovered she was being followed. In case she’d set a cop on her, she’d played it safe by staying several cars away from her to avoid suspicion.
She’d play it safe for now, but payback was coming pretty soon. She’d tried approaching the stuck-up bitch a few times only to be shut down. On top of that, she had lawyers on her ass that the prick Ivan had set on her.
She was being pressured into taking a DNA test and she was off the set of the movie. She’d threatened to sue, but who was she kidding? They had tons of money on their side and she was a small fish. It didn’t matter that Ivan might not be the brat's daddy, but she was pissed.
He could have done the right thing and offered to pay her off. A couple million dollars wouldn’t have made a dent in his fortune. He was from money and so was that washed-out stick of a wife. He should’ve paid her off and been done with it. Now, she was pregnant and getting low on funds.
Someone was going to have to pay, she thought viciously as she merged into traffic.
"Move!" Pressing down on her horn, she considered slamming into the back of the ugly green utility van in front of her but that would start an investigation and she couldn’t afford one right now. She had work to do.
With the anger churning in her gut and a migraine brewing, she turned off the main road and took the dirt road that led to the ramshackle building that had belonged to her family.
She was going to stay awhile to cool off and make her plans. That bitch was going to get complacent and that was the time she was going to come at her. She was going to rock her tidy little world and shake things up.
