“Since I’m on leave and you’re taking the week off to recover, what do you say to going on a trip with me?” Her eyebrows rose, and he continued, “I don’t know about you, but I really want to put this craziness from my mind, and I don’t think I can do that here.”

After a brief pause, she gave him a small smile. “As long as it’s not a cabin in the woods or a scary mansion, I’m good.”

Dropping his lips to hers, he murmured against them, “I was thinking some place a little more private.”

“With a beach?”

“A beach sounds good.”

“We could rent a little condo on the shore. Plenty of privacy…to role-play.”

Finn quirked an eyebrow. “Yeah? Who are we pretending to be?”

“I’m not sure yet.”

“I see.” He dropped a kiss on her mouth and before he lost his nerve, murmured, “Well, what if I pretend to be a man falling in love with a woman?”

Deana sucked in her breath and for a second, he thought she was going to bolt.

It wasn’t until he saw the tears welling up in her eyes that he relaxed.

“I guess

then I’ll pretend to be the luckiest woman in the world?” she said.

Picking her up in his arms, he kissed her one more time. “I could go along with that.”

“Me too.” Deana leaned her head onto Finn’s chest as he carried her into the bedroom. “But afterwards, can we switch roles?”

He paused at the foot of the bed. “How’s that?”

“I’ll be the woman falling in love with you, and you can be the luckiest man in the world,” she said sheepishly.

Laying her on the bed, he climbed up next to her and held her close, kissing her forehead softly. “Sounds like a plan to me.”
