signals because as her
muscles started to spasm, underneath her, he pushed his hips and gave
her a thrust that went deep into her core.
Ecstasy filtered through her veins and traveled to her fingertips and
toes.
“We’re not done yet,” he warned her.
She was breathless and when he kissed her again, she thought it would
take the last bit she had left. He picked her up, holding her in the
air.
She begged him not to stop. He promised that he would not as he
carried her off to his bedroom to continue making music together.
Bruce did his best to make sure he explored and ignited each part of
her body. Kate continued to give in and let him have what he wanted.
Every time she called out his name, he responded by giving her
intense pleasure. He gave her everything she asked him for and then
some. Just when she thought she would be unable to take anymore, he
dove in a little deeper and she was unable to hold out any longer.
Kate had to grip the sheets so that she would not scratch him. Her
first instinct was to dig her claws in to his skin, try to grasp him
for dear life to make sense of the intensity that filled her body.
Bodies shuddering with pleasure, dripping with satisfaction as they
lay there together.
“What just happened?” Kate asked.
Bruce turned around toward her as they lay in his silk sheets. “If
you have to ask that, I must have done something wrong.”
Kate kissed him on the lips. “Really, you did everything
right.”
“That’s good to know.” He sighed and pulled her
closer to him. The way his arms held her tightly, it felt so natural.
So right.
The silence between them was peaceful. Just laying there listening to
each other’s breathing, all seemed right with the world.

Kate was awakened by the scent of freshly brewed coffee and
breakfast. She suddenly jumped up out of the bed when she realized
where she was.
“Whoa, leaving so soon?” Bruce was coming into the room
carrying a tray when Kate leaped out of the bed, scrambling around
holding the sheet wrapped around her body.
“I am so late for work.”
“Relax. It’s only seven in the morning.”
Kate stopped, breathing a sigh of relief. “Oh thank goodness.”
“Maybe we went a little overboard on the wine last night.”
She laughed. “I’m pretty sure it was a combination of the
champagne, and the drinks at the gala, polished off by the wine.”
“Duly noted.”
He sat the breakfast tray on the bed. “I thought a little
breakfast in bed is in order. Something to get our strength up after,
well.”
He raised his coffee mug in a mock toast, and then sipped the java.
“This looks wonderful. Thank you.” There was fresh fruit,
croissants, sausage, and scrambled eggs.
“Just a little more of my culinary skills. Don’t get too
used to that.”
“The cooking or the spending the night?” she asked.
“Cheeky, I see.”
Kate was still waiting for an answer. “Well?”
He kissed her on the cheek. “I want you to get used to a lot of
things.”
She smiled, ready to pull the conversation out of him.
“Tell me more.” Kate sipped on her coffee while she
waited for him to tell her what he wanted.
“Woman, you are going to drive me crazy already.”
She raised an eyebrow and stayed quiet until he answered.
Putting his fork down, he began to speak. “Since the day I
walked into the boutique, I have been interested in you. Since the
day we went out to dinner, I have desired you. Every time I am near
you, I want you more and more. And now that we have been intimate,
I’m not sure I can let you go.”
Kate could not believe the words she heard. He wanted her. He longed
for her.
He clasped his hands together. “There. Now you have it. I’ve
confessed. What now?”
“I don’t know,” she shrugged. “I had not
thought that far.”
“Really? You didn’t think that far ahead. The one woman
who plans out everything had no visions on what she would like to
become of what is happening between
