He kissed her. “I do hope that, but I’ve also accepted that it might.”
Luna threw her arms around him. “I love you.”
“Damn right you do. No more hiding or keeping quiet for my benefit.”
She shook her head and buried her face in his neck.
They heard a knock at the door. Davis pulled away from Luna and gave her a look before opening the door.
“Mom.”
“Davis.” She looked into Luna’s eyes. “Please forgive me. I’ve always worried that one day he’d fall for the wrong kind of woman, someone that would pretend to be who he wanted in order to have access to his money. I . . . should have trusted him to know his own heart.”
“I accept your apology.”
Sophia nodded at Luna and waited for Davis to speak.
“That’s all I want, Mom. Thank you.”
Davis hugged his mother and kissed her cheek. She framed his face in her hands for a moment and then went back down the hall.
“I suppose that was hard for her,” Luna said.
“No doubt Dad laid into her when we left the room.”
Luna chuckled. “He’s on your side now.”
“We discussed my job when I arrived, and he’s going to make a stop at the Maryland offices after the holidays.”
“That’s great, baby.”
Davis went back to her and hugged her again. “I want to go home and make love to you on our bed.”
She grinned and kissed his nose. “I’m in.”
