next to you in the morning.”
“I like the way that sounds.” I wasn’t sure I’d have been able to stay in the bedroom he called the
nursery, knowing he was just down the hall but not with me. “And I wouldn’t be opposed if youdid
want to do some sexy stuff.”
“Nope,” he responded firmly. “No matter how much you tempt me, nothing’s going to happen
tonight. Even if I hadn’t told you we’d take that piece of our relationship slowly, you’re still under
William’s protection. That means I want to talk to him and make sure he’s on board before we cross

pulled up in front of Theron’s house this afternoon. Part of me was ready to make bold promises to
him already, but I knew that was the frenzy of something new, more than my feelings for him.
“No baby, it’s not. I knew I wanted you to be mine the night the playroom opened,” he admitted.
“That night, William warned me that I needed to be certain I could handle anything I learned about
you, so I took time to think about what he was hinting at and decide if I would be able to deal with it.
But then you told me what he hadn’t been willing to share and it drew me to you even more. Not
