Page 191 of A Dangerous Kind of Love

“I love you,” she says.

“I know,” I murmur. “I kind of love you too.”

She pulls me back down, kissing me again.

“I thought we were watching a movie,” I say against her mouth.

“We will,” she says, already kissing me again. “In a minute.”

A throat clears near the door.

“What the fuck?” I snap.

“Sorry, Boss.”

Marco.

Katie buries her face in my shoulder, embarrassed. I lean down, lowering my voice.

“It’s okay.”

I push up off the couch, rubbing a hand down my face, irritation already setting in.

“What’s so important you couldn’t knock?” I ask.

“I did, sir.”

Shit.

“Talk.”

His eyes flick to Katie as she sits up on the couch, then back to me. He hesitates.

“Spit it out, Marco.”

“That package,” he says. “The one we thought was lost.”

That gets my attention.

“It was delivered,” he continues. “It’s in your office.”

I nod. “I’ll be there shortly.”

He leaves, and I turn back to Katie. The disappointment on her face is obvious.

I sit down beside her. “I’m sorry, Doll. It won’t take long. Half an hour tops.”

“You promise?”

“I promise.” I brush my thumb along her cheek. “Go to our room. Read your filthy cowboy book.”

That makes her smile.

“I’ll come get you when I’m done. We’ll watch the movie after.”

“Fine. But you owe me a date night. Just you and me. Dinner and a movie. In a theater.”

I smile. “Anything you want.”
