I kept waiting for her to tell me about her bank experience today, but she wouldn’t.

“I’ve been thinking about something since you made me that pineapple crisp. I didn’t want to say anything because I was unsure how you’d feel about it.”

“Feel about what?”

“Carter Management Group wants to invest in Baked With Love.”

“What?” She cocked her head. “You want to invest in my bakery?”

“I do. You’re overly smart, Zoey, and I know the bakery will do well. I’ll give you the money you need to get this business going and become a silent partner. That way, you don’t have to deal with the banks.”

“As much as I appreciate the offer, I can’t let you do that.”

“Why not? It’s what I do, Zoey.”

“Julia told you, didn’t she?”

“Told me what?”

“You’re a liar. Don’t lie to me, Carter. I’ve had a shit day as it is.”

“Fine. She told me. But I was going to talk to you about it. You didn’t tell me you had an appointment with the bank today.”

“And when were you going to talk to me about it?”

“Why do you think I asked you to dinner tonight? I was going to ask you if you had your final business plan ready.” I smiled. “I’m not sure why the loan officer would turn you down. As I said, this is a perfect business plan.”

“It’s because I’m a woman.” Her brow arched.

“Who did you speak to at the bank?”

“His name is Mr. Keys. Why?”

“Just wondering. Anyway, it was meant to be because now you don’t have to deal with them. Accept my offer to invest. You can start ordering everything you need. Before you know it, your bakery will be up and running. I’ll call my attorney right now and have him draw up the partnership contract. You can sign it tomorrow, and the funds will be deposited into your account. Now that it’s settled, let’s eat.” I grinned.

“I haven’t agreed yet.” Her brows furrowed.

“Looks to me like you don’t have a choice. You want your bakery, and I can help. Deal?” I extended my hand across the table.

She stared at me momentarily before placing her hand in mine. “Deal.”

“Excellent. Let’s finish eating so we can go into the bedroom and celebrate.” I smiled as I winked at her.

After we ate, I called my attorney while Zoey cleaned up. As she stood at the sink, rinsing off the dishes, I walked up behind her, grabbed her hips, and softly kissed her neck.

“Everything is all set. My attorney will have the contract drawn up and on my desk tomorrow at noon. Can you swing by the office and sign it?”

“Yes.” She tilted her head to the side.

“Good.” I grabbed the dishtowel and wiped her hands dry. “We have some unfinished business in the bedroom.” I swooped down and picked her up.

She quickly stripped out of her clothes and sat on the edge of the bed while I took off my shirt. She grabbed the waist of my pants and pulled me toward her, sliding them off my hips. I stood in front of her, hard as a rock, as her hand gripped me and her lips wrapped around my throbbing cock. I threw my head back and took in the pleasure of her mouth. The pressure, warmth, and wetness submerged me while several moans escaped my lips. My hands fisted her hair as I looked down and watched her. It was the most incredible feeling in the world—an indescribable feeling because it wasn’t just about the sensation anymore. I stopped her and placed my finger under her chin, staring into her eyes while she looked up at me. I’d never seen anything more beautiful in my life.

“Why did you stop me?” Her whispered words made me smile.

“Because I need to be inside you, and I can’t wait any longer.”

We both climbed under the covers and lay on our side, facing each other while our lips intertwined. Her leg wrapped around my waist as I held her tight and thrust inside her. A subtle gasp escaped her, turning me on even more than I already was. The grip around my cock was intoxicating as I moved in and out. After a few strokes, I rolled on my back and brought her on top of me. She sat up, her hands planted firmly on my chest as she rode me. Her hips ground into me, and it didn’t take long for her to orgasm. I smiled as my hands played with her beautiful breasts, and I took in the full beauty of her. Her body collapsed on mine, and I rolled her on her back, thrusting in and out of her, preparing for the big release that was about to come. I halted and moaned as I exploded. My body slowly dropped down, and my face burrowed itself into the side of her neck. Her arms were wrapped tightly around me as we waited for our breathing rate to calm down. I rolled off her and onto my side.
