  After a blissful moment, she pulled back and studied his face. “So, tell me…where did you hide all those jewels? I searched the house thoroughly.”

  “I don’t think I’ll tell you. I may need to hide something from you again. Say, an enormous diamond for our fiftieth wedding anniversary.”

  She gave him a peevish look that wasn’t the least bit convincing as her eyes twinkled with amusement.

  “However,” he said. “If you ever really want to find where I’ve hidden something, you might try looking in the pots with my orchids.”

  “Flower pots,” she said. “You put fabulous jewels in with the roots and the compost?”

  “They were perfectly safe and secure. Even a master thief like you couldn’t find them.”

  “Devious man.”

  He kissed her again, sweetly.

  “Delicious man,” she whispered. She kissed him back, not quite as sweetly. “Devilish, irresistible man.”

  “Now, about those children,” he said, pulling her firmly against him. “Do you suppose we might find a private place on this ship and start in on getting me an heir?”

  “I suppose we might. Let’s try.”

  About the Author

  Award-winning author Alice Duncan lives with a herd of wild dachshunds (enriched from time to time with fosterees from New Mexico Dachshund Rescue) in Roswell, New Mexico. She’s not a UFO enthusiast; she’s in Roswell because her mother’s family settled there fifty years before the aliens crashed.

  Since her two daughters live in California, where Alice was born, she’d like to return there, but she can’t afford to. Alice would love to hear from you at [email protected]. And be sure to visit her website: http://www.aliceduncan.net.
