for not being at home with him. She had to work late in order to make extra money. How else could she afford their home on Long Island or pay for their cars outright? Timmy made a decent salary, and it certainly helped with the bills, but with his student loan debts, she was the one who had come up with the down payment on the house. Sometimes she was hard on him, at least in her mind, but she knew she showed him all her love when it came down to it. Regardless, she needed to finish up the deadbeat file so she could start fresh the next day.

Chapter Four
    Carmala had a charity ball to attend on Saturday night. She wanted to take Guido but hadn’t spoken to him since the Delmonico incident. Should she call him?
    No, she absolutely refused to. However tempting it was.
    On Friday, she immersed herself in the Ross audit wrap-up, and late in the afternoon, she received the long-awaited call.
    “Hi, babe. Tonight’s our chest and triceps workout. What do you say we grab a pizza afterward?” Guido! Just like that, he called her with no mention of the fight, as though things were back to normal between them.
    He aggravated her to no end. Pissed her off royally. Yet, she couldn’t help melting, even just a little, at the sound of his deep voice. He did it again. Turned her on despite the fact she was still mad at him. She had to be crazy! She begrudgingly and quietly said, “Yeah, that’s fine.” In truth, maybe she should let bygones be bygones. He did try awfully hard to please her. “I need to finish up here, but I can meet you at the gym by six.”
    “Okay, I’ll see you then.”
    She wanted to bounce back with Guido, forget that he had followed her, yet could it be possible?

    Guido had hoped that Carmala wouldn’t bring up what happened the other night. He loved her and didn’t want to lose her. But whenever he saw her with another guy, his blood boiled. He focused on their workout, occasionally glancing at her for signs of any remaining irritation from the other night. She concentrated on her repetitions, grunting at the appropriate times. He spotted her for the chest presses, and she smiled at him. Maybe her irritation with him had passed.
    Afterward, Carmala returned to her apartment to freshen up, and he picked up a gourmet pizza with peppers, onions, and ham—just the way she liked it.
    So far, so good. She needed to understand that he was only concerned for her safety. He trusted her. Really, he did. He just didn’t trust the guys around her. She was gorgeous, and no matter how much she accomplished in her professional life, there remained a naïveté about her. That probably had everything to do with being an Aries.
    All she needed to do is give a guy her wide-eyed innocent look and purse those pouty kissable lips, and any man would fall for her. Sweep her away from him. He couldn’t bear that. And he would do anything to prevent it.
    They sat at Carmala’s breakfast bar.
    “The pizza’s good,” Guido said, feeling cautious. “Sure is nice to get a break from the low-carb diet.”
    “Yes, it is good.” Carmala chewed her pizza slowly, her eyelashes fluttering. “I was starving. I skipped lunch because I have so much to do at work.”
    She scarfed down three slices. He was relieved to see her eating a good portion of the pizza. She’d been getting a little on the thin side.
    Man, it was so nice to be on normal terms again with her. He’d hoped the peaceful mood between them would continue. “Your horoscope in the Post today said you were on a brink of an important career decision that would lead you to much success. On that note, have you made your decision about the job?” Talking about Carmala’s work usually worked like a charm.
    “Actually, yes and no. I’ve let Tom know at Synergy Plus, but I haven’t told my manager yet.”
    “Why?” He took another bite of his pizza, capturing a large piece of fresh basil. Delicious.
    “Once an employee at Banter tells management they’re
