“That wasn’t a vacation. That was attending a wedding while not actively in bed with you. I want a full week together.”

That thought sent a thrill through me followed by a stab of fear. “Won’t we get sick of one another?”

“Yeah, right. Wouldn’t it be nice to do this every morning for a week, and then go get a massage or lie by the pool?”

That did sound like heaven. “We’re waiting on Tryon Pharmaceuticals to come back with a decision, and things are busy at the moment.”

“I didn’t mean next week. How does the third week of March work for you? We’ll go somewhere warm and tropical.” He was serious.

“I’ve got to ask my boss for the time off.”

He chuckled. “Approved.”

My eyes met his, and I sighed with happiness when he took my lips in a kiss. It would be nice to look forward to a real vacation for the first time in years.

“Leave the plans to me, and I’ll let you know the details.”

“Okay, but do not pick up the tab for this. I will pay my part. Tell me where to book the airfare, and we can meet down there.”

I could tell he wanted to argue with me, but then his face broke out into a smile. “I can’t wait to see you in a bikini.”

I shook my head with a smile. “Uh, I’m naked right now in the shower with you, and you’re looking forward to a bikini?”

He nodded and then nibbled on my ear lobe. “It’s such a guy thing, I know, but a woman in a bikini, poolside, is one of the sexiest things there is.”

Huh, that gave me an idea or two.
