leaving, they’re immediately escorted out by security. This is because there’s lots of confidential client information. I want to tie up all loose ends before I tell them.”
    “I guess they’re afraid you’ll take their clients with them.”
    “Probably.” She grabbed another slice of pizza. Her fourth.
    “When are you going to start at Synergy Plus?”
    What he really wanted to know was just how much overtime would she have to work and how often would she go out of town. He didn’t want to ruin the mood by asking too many questions. He’d get his answers later.
    “End of October. I need to get out of Banter in two weeks.”
    “I see.” He reached across the bar, took her hand, and kissed it. “You know I love you, Carmala.”
    She quickly withdrew her hand, as though she’d touched a burning stove, and wrinkled her nose. God. Did his touch disgust her?
    He shouldn’t have said he loved her. He’d bet anything he just opened the door for her to bring up the incident at Delmonico’s. He braced himself for the dreaded subject.
    “I know you love me. Maybe a little too intensely at times.” She studied him.
    “You’ve got a lot on your plate. Plus, you have your big shindig tomorrow, right?” He hoped she still wanted him to go. She would be honored for her work with a children’s charity. He wanted to support her. But more importantly, he wanted Carmala to know he’d supported her.
    “I do. Are you still going to shop with me for clothes?”
    “As long as I’m your date.”
    “Nothing’s changed.” She leaned in and gave him a kiss.
    Thank God! Relief swam through his mind.
    They finished their meal, and Guido cleared the table. They spent the rest of the evening cuddling on the couch and watching a horror flick. No sex. They’d get back to it. He was confident of it.
    He couldn’t imagine his life without Carmala. She was an exquisite woman. In both the looks and brains departments. He wanted to protect and love her forever. Why wouldn’t she let him?
    ****
    Carmala woke up Saturday with Guido by her side. She glanced at him as he peacefully slept. Their Friday pizza night had been enjoyable. The food was delicious, and so was the man despite the storm that had passed between them. She longed for fewer problems in their relationship. She could only hope that he’d let his jealousy go and realize the good they had between them. If only he could be more content and not overreact to nonsensical things, he’d be the perfect man.
    Guido must have sensed her looking at him because he opened his eyes, smiled, and pulled her close to him for a deep kiss.
    “I can’t wait to see you accept your award tonight. You work so hard at your job, yet you still give back. You’re incredible.”
    She cuddled into his strong arms. “Thank you. I’m excited. It’s a good cause. And I finally have an excuse to wear a full-length gown. I’m glad you’re going to be there.”
    “I love you, princess. More than you’ll ever know.” He kissed her, immediately making her horny.
    “Come on, Guid. We need to eat breakfast and get going. There’s a lot to do.”
    “There’s enough time for a quickie.”
    She couldn’t refuse. His quickie typically took an hour, but it was so amazing she didn’t mind giving up prime shopping time for it.
    Eventually they got out of bed, made a quick breakfast, and were on their way.
    Earlier in the week, Carmala had spotted a dress for the evening in a store window near her office. She’d hoped she could still get it in her size. Luckily, she found the dress in the right size, and then they picked up the rented tuxedo for Guido.
    After shopping, they went to Manderee’s, a popular spot on weekends, for lunch. As soon as they sat at their table, she spotted Marc Blass.
    Oh, no. She so did not want a repeated argument. Still, she’d have to make conversation with Marc in front of Guido.
    Marc caught Carmala’s eye and approached their table. He kissed her cheek, and
