Leslie cupped Adam's cheek and stroked her finger over the ridge of his collarbone. "You are going to have to find it in you to be the stronger man. Warren needs you just as much as you need him. Give him a reason to not act like this."
    Leaning in, she kissed him, and Adam wrapped his arms around her to pull her close. The kiss grew between them, and Leslie became breathless in his arms. She clung with both fists to the front of his shirt, wishing more than anything they were home and in bed together instead of here fighting with his brother. When Adam kissed her like this, she felt like a queen.
    "Well, I gave Warren the money, and he is heading out to get this taken care of. How about we make our way home, too? I still feel odd being here without Mom trying to shove food down my throat." Adam stood, pulling Leslie up with him before leading her out. She would get her dish later. For now she felt it best to go with him.
    On the way home, Adam told her about his first day. The board was accepting of him joining them and excited to see what ideas he had for the future. They were already inviting him to several parties and events he wanted Leslie to go with him to. She smiled, listening to him go on about work, glad for something else to talk about other than his unruly brother. From the sound of things, they were going to be very busy soon, and she would need to be the wife she had always promised to be. It had been something she expected from the start, and she was more than happy to start filling those shoes.
    Once back home, Adam whisked her into the house and straight to their room. The way he kissed her when they got there made Leslie realize he had not forgotten the way she teased him on the way to Warren's and planned to cash in on her promises. She laughed playfully as he pulled her into the shower with him, getting her more dirty than clean as they went.

    Life seemed to be going in fast forward as they hit the holiday season. Usually they were busier during that time of year, but it was even more so now that Adam was in charge of SkyFinn Marketing. Leslie found herself hopping from party to party and planning several of her own for the different holidays and people Adam worked with. Now Leslie was running around her kitchen with some of her new friends getting ready for a New Year’s Eve bash Adam had asked her to organize. She was thankful for the friends she had made at other parties, especially now they were there to help her. Never had she planned so many parties, and she certainly could use all the help she could get.
    Adam was in the back getting ready for the event, and several of the high-level board members and agents were already in the living room enjoying drinks and hors d'oeuvres. The energy in the air was high, and Leslie found herself dancing to the music playing from the other room. Once she had finished the last of the fruit trays, she headed down the hall to change into her party dress.
    She had spent a fortune on new dresses for the different festive occasions and felt a little guilty for it. However, Adam had insisted he wanted her to look her very best at all times. With the position he held now, she had to keep up with some pretty rich and powerful people. It was important she looked the part. Walking into the room, she saw Adam fastening the last cuff link to his dress shirt, and she smiled at how handsome he looked.
    "I would ravish you looking so sexy like that, but you have a house full of people out there to entertain. So you better get going so I can get cleaned up," Leslie said, giving her husband a quick kiss on the cheek. The action earned her a pinch on the butt, and she yelped before blushing and giggling.
    Without another word, Adam headed out of the room to join his company in the night's festivities. Leslie had prepared tons of food with the help of other wives of company heads. She had also gotten plenty of wine and champagne to go around. The
