My smile fades.

So does his.

“You fell for me,” I murmur.

“So did you,” he says, slowly twirling a strand of my hair around his finger.

His lips are curved into a beautiful smile.

I’m lost for words, so I lean into him and press my lips against his.

“I think we have to take care of this,” I say against his lips. “Our love for each other.”

My words sound clear and timeless.

“I think you’re right,” he says, setting his drink down and removing mine from my hand.

He loops his arms around me, his lips coming to mine with purpose.

We kiss passionately and feel settled before he pushes up with me in his arms.

Still kissing me, he carries me to the bedroom.

He wasn’t joking when he said I’d be impressed by this room.

The entire room is done in a combination of white and amber wood. The sheets, pillows, and covers look like snow while a fireplace lights the room.

He sets me down and removes my clothes before getting out of his.

Naked, he hovers over me.

My back lines the sheets, my lips catching fire from his mouth.

He spreads my legs, grabs the root of his erection, and enters me without another word, coming home for himself and also me.

ELIZABETH

The following week.

We only have a few days.

A few days to make this work.

A few days to spend in Colorado.

A few days before heading to Singapore.

He made up his mind.

I’m traveling with him for two reasons. He wants me to be with him. And he also wants to cut his trip short.

He’s already put everyone on notice.

Today, Tuesday, is the first day I’m supposed to work in his office.

Things unfold quickly.
