system.”
    “You’re not just saying that are you?” she asked, feeling like she had won the lottery.
    With a stern, yet soft look on his face, Ethan answered. “I don’t say anything I don’t mean. If you don’t remember anything else I tell you, remember this; I don’t play when it comes to my emotions. I know this may not be an appropriate time to be asking you this, but I’m going to ask anyway.  If you’re dating other men, will you please stop and allow me the chance to show you that we can have something wonderful? All I’m asking for is a chance, Madison.”
    “I’d love to, but there’s one problem,” Madison said, looking down.
    Ethan felt his heart dropping. “What?”
    “I’m not dating anyone else,” Madison looked up and smiled.
    “You had me worried for a minute.” He released his breath.
    So that there would be no misunderstandings, she asked for clarification.  “Does this mean we’re going to exclusively date one another?”
    Ethan took his hand and placed it on the back of Madison’s neck. He gently pulled her mouth down to his. He kissed her with tenderness before responding, “Yes. That’s exactly what it means.  After all, I‘m already your husband , aren‘t I?”
    Madison stuttered, “I…I…I can’t believe this is happening.”
    “Neither can I. Who would’ve thought that I would be sitting here with a woman who seems to be everything my heart has ever desired.”
    “You know how to make a girl feel special.” Madison laid her head on his chest.
    “You are special and don’t you ever forget it.”  They formed a special bond that day as they sat in the chair talking.
    They were so into each other that the night passed and the dawn of a new day found them still awake. They remained in the bed the majority of that Saturday. Between watching movies and talking, nighttime approached once again. Although they had cuddled and done some heavy kissing and panting, they had not yet crossed the realm of physical intimacy.
    Madison hoped Ethan understood her reasoning for not wanting to have sex with him this early on in their relationship. But the only way to find out was for her to talk to him about it.
    While they cuddled, Madison brought up the subject. “Ethan, how would you feel about us taking it slow?”
    “ It ,” he repeated.
    “Sex.”
    “I told you I don’t have a problem with it,” he said nonchalantly.
    “I don’t think you understand.” Madison removed herself from his embrace so they would be facing one another.
    “Enlighten me,” Ethan said with a concerned look on his face.
    Madison looked him directly in the eyes. “I’m willing to give us a try, but I don’t want sex clouding either one of our judgments. I want to be sure there’s more than a physical attraction.”
    “For me it is,” Ethan stated.
    “Good, because I think waiting to have sex will enhance our relationship. It’ll give us a chance to know each other better.”
    Ethan pulled her back into his arms and said, “When we do have sex, I want it to be because we both know beyond a shadow of a doubt that neither one of us is going anywhere.”
    “Exactly.” Madison gleamed.
    “Don’t get me wrong. It’ll be hard because you’re a desirable woman, but building a lasting relationship with you is more important to me at this time.”
    Madison hugged Ethan tight and asked, “Where have you been all of my life?”
    “Waiting on you.”
     

Chapter 7
     
    Madison felt guilty about spending the entire weekend being lazy. She didn’t go to work on Friday, nor did she take care of any of her weekend errands. But the number one thing she felt bad about was that she’d overslept and missed church.  As she got dressed, she was thankful that God had brought Ethan into her life.  She made a silent promise to God to attend Wednesday night’s Bible study since she missed Sunday service.
    After being at her place for the entire wee kend, Ethan went home to get a change of
