Andi held on, then leaned up and kissed the side of his neck. Her decision was made. There would be no turning back now. Tonight, she would make memories that years from now she’d relive and remember. “Hurry.”

A low, throaty growl rolled from his throat, but he did exactly as she ordered, his long legs eating up the distance to the house in a few minutes. Overhead, the sky was black with a wide sweep of stars impossible to see unless you were outside a city, away from the lights. A nearly full moon glowed against the blackness and sent that wash of light over everything like a blessing. The warm June wind wrapped itself around them and swept them on toward the lamplit house ahead of them.

He opened the door, stepped through and kicked it shut behind him. The kitchen lay empty and still in the glow of a stove light, but Mac didn’t stop to admire the elegantly remodeled space.

Andi barely had a chance to admire it, even if she’d been interested, before he was across the room and striding down a long hallway. They passed a dining room, Mac’s study and the great room at the front of the house before he came to the wide oak staircase, where he suddenly stopped.

Surprised, Andi tore her gaze away from the massive iron and wood chandelier hanging from the cathedral ceiling over the foyer to look into his eyes. A view she preferred.

“What is it? What’s wrong?” Her heart galloped in her chest as his hands held her in a proprietary grasp.

Keeping her pressed tightly against him, Mac said, “Nothing’s wrong as far as I’m concerned. I’m just checking one last time.”

She smiled and trailed the tips of her fingers along his jaw and throat. He shivered, then sucked in a gulp of air like a drowning man tasting hope.

She smiled, loving his response. And she knew exactly what he was doing now. Mac being Mac, he was giving her one last chance to change her mind about what was about to happen. He was charming, gorgeous and had a sense of honor that not enough men these days possessed. How could she resist him?

But still she asked innocently, “Checking what?”

“God help me,” Mac said, letting his head fall back helplessly. “Yes or no, Andi. Don’t make me beg.”

“It’s a big step,” she teased. “I just don’t know...”

He narrowed his eyes on her and gave her a hard squeeze. “Woman, you’re treading on thin ice here.”

She smiled and asked, “How fast can you take these stairs?”

His grin flashed bright. “We’re about to find out.”

Probably silly, Andi thought as her heart raced, to feel such a wild rush of pleasure at the man she loved holding her close and sprinting up a staircase.

She’d been in the house before, to see Vi when she’d lived in the west wing. But Andi now caught glimpses of Mac’s side of the house when he made a sharp right at the top of the stairs.
