Miranda pulled away and sat up. “On that note, I need to get showered. I have somewhere to be in an hour.”

“Somewhere to be?” he asked.

After cloaking herself in her robe again, she glanced over at him. “I told Cameron Copeland I’d meet him for lunch today.”

“Oh. I see.” He sat up and reached for his clothes as she disappeared into her bathroom. She had another date with Cameron Copeland. Damn, he was a fool. Did he really think he could waltz back into her life, fall into bed with her, and then everything would be forgiven? It was more likely that she’d just had a moment of weakness.

Gideon yanked his clothes back on and trudged downstairs where he went to work on cleaning her kitchen. Neither of them had eaten much of the breakfast he’d made, so he put the french toast and bacon into a plastic container and poured out the cold coffee that was still in the coffee pot. By the time he had the dishes loaded in the dishwasher and the counters cleaned off, Miranda was headed back downstairs in a red and black corset dress. Damn, she looked good.

Doing his best to hide his jealousy, he grabbed his keys from the counter and moved to stand in front of her at the bottom of the stairs. “I’ll get out of your hair now.”

She glanced up and smiled at him. “Thanks for… well, everything. Taking care of me last night and this morning and…” She waved a hand up the stairs and blushed. “That was nice, too.”

He couldn’t help it. She was too freakin’ adorable. And if she was going to go off and spend time with Cameron Copeland, he was going to make damned sure she was thinking about him the whole time. “It was more than nice, gorgeous. It was incredible.” He wrapped one arm around her waist, pulled her in, and covered her mouth with his, giving her a deep, searing kiss that seemed to go on forever. By the time he let her go, they were both panting. “See you tonight,” he said. “Seven o’clock at Mystyk Pizza.”

She’d covered her mouth with her hand, and her eyes were wide with surprise. But still, she nodded and said, “Seven.”

“Good.” He gave her one last soft kiss on her lips and then left before she could say another word.
