Mark startled and then flushed. “Of course!”

He undid the soft cloth and frowned at the redness on my skin. “I didn’t mean to hurt you.”

I cupped his face in mine. “You could never hurt me. I loved every minute of that.”

Mark’s gaze caught mine. “I didn’t scare you?”

I laughed. “If you want to scare me with a massage and three mind-blowing orgasms every day, I think I might learn to live with it.”

A crooked smile crossed his face. “That is good to know.”

I went to get up and he caught my wrist. “Where are you going?”

I smiled at him. “I need a shower. I am covered in oil and sweat.”

Mark’s face grew pensive. “And you are going to our bathroom?”

My lips threatened to split into a smile. “I had planned on it.”

“But what about...you know who?” he ended in a whisper.

I leaned down and kissed his lips.

“I am not afraid of a ghost, Mark. She’s not going to harm me.”

“How do you know?” he countered.

I frowned and thought about it. Finally I answered truthfully. “I don’t know. But I would bet my life on it.”

CHAPTER 20

Sutton

Alice and Reena sat in the front pew while Mark and I opted to sit in the one behind them. Father Montgomery, for once in his life, hadn’t said anything nasty to me. I wondered how much of that was because I had Mark on one side and Brian on the other.

Candice sat next to Brian and I noticed that they had developed a bit of a friendship. It seemed purely platonic, but Knox didn’t know that. The glare that he was sending our way was almost tangible.
