Chapter 8

Getting what you want always comes at a price.

Fate couldn’t remember ever feeling so at ease with another human being. Normally after sex, a dark, gloomy mood fell over her. Not this time. She wondered why.

It felt so right having him there with her, in her home, in her bed, snuggled so close. Her head rested on his chest, rising and falling with each breath he took. His heartbeat thumped in her ear.

“Tell me about your life since college. Outside of the obvious, what’s happened between now and then?” she asked, relishing the feel of his hand running up and down her arm.

“Well, I’ve been working, but you know that already.”

“Did you ever marry?”

“Nope.”

She lifted her head and looked at him. “Why not?”

“What about you?”

“Aren’t you going to answer my question first?”

“No. You first.” He smiled.

“I didn’t get married.” She sat up, fluffed a couple pillows and leaned back against them. “Never found the right one.”

He rolled over on his side, propped himself up on an elbow, and rested his head in his hand. His bicep swelled. Yum. “Who’s the right one?”

“I don’t know.” You? “I’ve just been waiting for that feeling, that certainty you see in the movies. Do you think it’s real?”

“Yep. I know it is.”

Her gaze wandered over his face, and a knot tightened in her gut. “You sound so sure.”

“I am.”

She didn’t have to ask what he was talking about. It was all over his face.

Was he the right one for her? Was there any doubt? Funny, in less than a week, she’d gone from hating the man to…to falling in love with him? Could it be? How had that happened?

Unless she’d never stopped loving him. There was that love-hate thing again.

“Do you want to be married?” He wound a finger in her hair.

“I’ve always dreamed of being married, having kids. A part of me wants to jump off the fast track and enjoy raising a couple of babies, stay at home, maybe even home school.”

His eyebrows rose to impossible heights. “Really?”

“Is it that hard to believe? Fate Doherty—independent, career focused—wants to stay at home and have babies.”

“A little. But, it’s a nice surprise. What about your husband? What’re you looking for?”

Someone like you…no, not like you. Just you. “I don’t really have a laundry list. Just a vague notion. Um, a man who is caring, committed, hard-working but able to balance his career with family time. Funny and smart. Shares interests with me but also has some of his own. A man I can grow old with but never tire of.”

He chuckled. “And you said you don’t have a laundry list?”

She enjoyed the sound of that laughter, and imagined enjoying it for decades. “What about you?”

“Sexy, sexy, and sexy.”

She gave him a jab in the belly, and he laughed. “Seriously.”

He sat up, and crossed his arms behind his head, making his chest look incredibly wide. “Well, I am a guy. We men do like that sort of thing.”

“Okay, Mr. Deep,” she teased.

He laughed and dropped an arm.
