“Wow,” I said as I took in the surroundings. I had expected something bigger and grander. I was so happy I was wrong.
He popped the trunk and took out our bags as I breathed in the scent of the ocean.
“Come.” He took my hand, and we walked to the front door.
“Wow,” I said again as we stepped inside the open floor plan house. The back wall was all windows—allowing a beach view from all angles.
“You like?”
“Very much.”
“I was thinking we could go for a walk on the beach and then head into town for dinner and—”
I put my finger on his lips. “No.”
“No?”
I shook my head slowly. “No. I have a much better idea,” I said before I kissed him.
“I like the way you think. I’ve been imagining this day for years,” he said.
“Really?”
He pulled me to him and dragged his five o’clock shadow across my cheek, pressing his lips behind my ear. “Years…”
“Wow,” I whispered. “You’re not the only one.”
He pressed his forehead to mine and said in a low, rough voice. “No funny business?”
I shook my head leisurely. “I had a crush on you since my interview. I thought it would fade as we worked together, but it didn’t. Your strength and passion for your work…what a turn-on. And then I got to see the real you, the man behind the corporate cloak and wanted you even more. But I was afraid to say.”
“So, I could have made a move a long time ago?”
“Oh, yeah.”
“All this time wasted. Worried about staying professional, not getting sued.”
I kissed the side of his neck, then his jaw. “You have no worries. And I have such great ideas of how we can better spend our time away from work.”
“You do?”
He leaned down and kissed me. “Mmm hmm. Although, I have a funny feeling that you’re gonna be even more invested in the company.”
“What do you mean?”
“All those Fridays we spent together… What we have started long before now. I may have been foolish not to act on my feelings then, but….”
“So, how do we keep this a secret?”
“We don’t. I want to shout from the rooftops you’re finally mine. And if anyone at the office doesn’t approve, they’re free to leave.”
“Oh, Jon.” Tears of happiness filled my eyes.
“Kara.” He ran his hand over my face. “I’m already beyond in love with you. And I want nothing more than to have a future with you.”
“Good. Because I love you, too.”
