Shade felt the heavy veil of the death slumber slip away, as he became aware of her head on his shoulder, and her silky hair spread across his bare chest. He slid his hand down the curve of her back and across the firm roundness of her ass. He squeezed softly and felt her respond with kisses on his shoulder and neck. As the baby inside her grew, he knew she wouldn’t lie in this position with him much longer, and he’d spoon with her, instead. He opened his eyes and reveled in her beauty.

The electronic blinds went up as the lamps on the nightstands turned on, and he knew, tonight, he must face Cory and Madison, but for this moment, he was alone with his woman. "Sometimes, mi amore, the best part of my day is waking up because it is so quiet, we are alone, and I feel you next to me."

Kate stretched slowly as she lay next to him. "I love sleeping next to you. I feel like it’s the only time we have alone anymore."

I instructed Luca to make sure she didn’t leave until I came out of my death slumber, and I have no idea her state of mind. I seriously think you need to be with me.

He shook his head. “Her exposure was too long. She’s known Cory for month’s now and erasing a memory only works for short encounters. I will do my best, mi amore. I don’t want this to go badly for either of them. Cory loves her, and he would never forgive me if I hurt her. I can feel that. There is a lot at stake. I may have to take a chance and trust her, and I don’t like taking chances when it comes to my familia. If she wants to leave, I can assign someone to her. She would know they are there and that would be a deterrent. Let’s see what they have to say, how their night went.

“She is not just a pretty face, she is smart, and she thinks before she speaks. She is honest, I felt that too. She is strong-willed, and she is not going to do anything she doesn’t want to. So, let us go see."

He kissed her as she slipped from
