“Look inside,” I told her. When she turned back to the bag and began rummaging inside, I moved to stand directly behind her.
“Oh my God,” she breathed as she pulled out the note I’d written.
I remained motionless as she unfolded it and began reading, my eyes scanning each line at the same time as hers.
Any fear I had that she’d find the note corny immediately eradicated when she spun in my arms and kissed the air from my lungs. “God, I love you,” she said once she finally pulled away.
I smiled wickedly and slid my hands down to cup her ass. “Then let’s go. The sooner we get this dinner over with, the sooner we can come back here and you can show me just how much.”
At my wink, her head fell back in laughter. “Challenge accepted.”
Oh yeah, I thought.
The years ahead were most definitely going to be epic.
The End
Stay tuned for Richard’s story
Coming July 2016
Be sure to catch up with the Locklaine that started it all in:
Love Hate Relationship
People say that sometimes the line between love and hate is thin. What they don’t tell you is that sometimes it’s invisible.
Rowan Locklaine gave his heart to one woman a long time ago and has no desire to go through that kind of torture ever again. His painful past has turned him cold and heartless. Women serve only one purpose as far as he’s concerned, and relationships are nothing but a waste of time and energy. When the mouthy little blonde, Navie Collins, is hired as his personal assistant, he finds his world turned upside down. And against his better judgment, he can’t seem to stop thinking about her.
Navie Collins has spent years convinced she’s not good enough, that no one could possibly want her. Growing up the way she did helped to thicken her skin, so when she walks into a job interview and meets the temperamental, foul-mouthed, best-selling author, Rowan Locklaine, she’s all too happy to put him in his place.
Rowan and Navie are convinced they hate each other. But as time passes and the attraction between them begins to grow, these two stubborn, strong-willed people have a life changing decision to make. Can they move beyond their pain for a chance at something better, or are they destined to let their pasts dictate their future?
