Epilogue

As the morning sunlight crept into the bedroom, Max lay on his side next to Amanda and watched

her as she slept. He’d had no idea sex could be so good between two people. He’d had no idea he

could care about one person so much. But if he had his way, he and Amanda would move in together

as soon as they got back to Indianapolis. Her place, his place, a new place, he didn’t care. As long as

he could be with her, that was the only thing that mattered. He didn’t expect her to give up her career,

but he hoped she would at least pare down her hours. And demand a raise too. That jerk Hoberman

didn’t realize how good he had it with her. If the guy didn’t start giving her some of the perks she

deserved . . .

Wel , maybe once Max started showing her how important she was to him, she’d realize how

important she was to other people, too; that was al .

He lifted his hand to wrap an unruly curl around his finger, marveling at how silky was her hair and

how soft was her skin. He hadn’t meant to disturb her sleep, but she stirred at even that smal touch,

smiling when she opened her eyes to find him gazing down at her.

“Good morning,” she murmured, lifting her hand to cradle his jaw in her fingertips.

“It is a very good morning,” he agreed. “Bloody Marys on the beach in thirty minutes,” he told her.

“Which gives us just enough time to—”

“E-mail Mr. Hoberman,” she said.

His smile fel at that. She stil planned to make this a working vacation? Hel , a no-vacation? After

everything they’d discovered last night?

“Tel me you’re just kidding,” he said.

She shook her head. “No. I need to do it right away.”

“Aman da—”

But she was already pushing herself up from the mattress and reaching for the robe tossed on a

nearby chair. “It’s real y important, Max,” she said as she belted it.

“Yeah, I’l bet,” he muttered uncharitably.

She walked around the mattress and bent over him, thrusting out her lower lip in an over-

exaggerated pout. “Oh, come on. It’l only take a minute,” she said in a sulky Shirley Temple voice.

He rol ed his eyes. He should have realized it would take more than one night of sexual gymnastics

to change Amanda’s workaholic ways.

He said nothing as she strode to the desk and opened her laptop, raking her thumb across the

mouse pad to bring it to life. He heard her type what probably amounted to a paragraph, then she

turned around in the chair to look at him.

“How do I do that Rickrol thing?” she asked offhandedly.

Max’s eyebrows shot up at that. “You’re going to Rickrol your boss?”

She nodded.

“Real y?”

She nodded again.

Max couldn’t get out of the bed fast enough. Stark naked, he strode over to stand behind her,

reaching over her shoulders to copy and paste the necessary information from her coworker’s e-mail

and disguise it as the link to what her e-mail had identified as a potential y explosive new investment

opportunity that Hoberman should immediately forward to al his col eagues.
