“You aren’t squeamish, are you?”

She flinched.

“Aww,” he said with disappointment.

“It’s not horse, is it?” She readied herself to spit it out.

“No,” he chuckled. “It’s elk from Alaska. I’ve been saving it for a special occasion.”

Rainy was so moved that he made it especially for her.

“It’s not really fair that you’re amazing in bed and you can cook,” she said dreamily.

He winked and kissed her. “Fair to who?”

“You. I burn toast.”

He pressed his lips to hers. “I don’t need food if I can live inside you.”

“You want to live inside me?”

“Rainy, don’t take me wrong. I’ve had some great sex, but never like what you and I just did. I’d trade a thousand meals to sink myself into you again.”

“You’d starve.”

“I’d die a fucking happy man.”

They finished the meal and snuggled together on his bed.

Now that they were past the post-coital bliss she needed clarification. “You really want to sing my songs?”

He sat up and shifted his body so he could look at her. “Getting down to business, are we?” he began. “I wish I had met with my producer before you got here so you wouldn’t have had to spend a day at work. Working for Grand Canyon is not a good look on you.”

“I looked that bad, huh?” she asked. “It was no fun. I mean, the money will be good, but the work is soul crushing.”

“Tomorrow is Sunday. Any chance you have to work?” he asked seriously.

“I guess there’s always a chance,” she said.

“Then I have a confession. When I was heating this up, I hid your phone.”

She sat upright. “You what?”

“I’ll give it back, but not until tomorrow night.” He cupped her cheek and brushed his l

ips against hers. “Tonight is ours.”

She let out a deep sigh. “I’m not going to last. But I have to because I have an ironclad contract. They paid my way out here. They rented this home for me. The only thing I can do is scour the contract and find something that could nullify it, but better lawyers than me put it together.”

He stared at her with piercing blue eyes. “Why on earth would you sign a contract like that?”

“Desperation,” she replied. “But, I’d never do it again.”

Kris set their plates aside and pulled her on top of him where Rainy fell happily into his arms.
