Diana could hardly believe it. Matt had just offered her the moon. To stand by her side, raise a family now when she’d long since abandoned hope.

Maybe what was hard to believe was how easily she did believe it could happen.

Her thoughts about him had been nearly constant while she was in the hospital and more so since her return. She’d cried buckets when she considered all they might have shared when they were younger. Matt had always been a loving, decent man, and she’d always been wildly attracted to him.

Nothing much had changed in twenty-two years. They still had the passion—and the love—that had begun before it had the freedom to bloom. “Do you mean it?” she asked, almost afraid to hear his answer now that he’d had time to reconsider.

“Yeah. I meant every word. Here, let me wipe away those tears before you flood Blue with them.” Very gently, he stroked her cheeks with his bandana then pretended to wipe down the cat’s coat as if she’d gotten it wet. “If you want me to, I’ll be your slave. Do whatever it takes to keep a smile on your beautiful face.”

She wasn’t beautiful. Too many harsh Wyoming winters had done numbers on her skin, and there was nothing more she could do to get rid of the scars Gareth had left on her. The physical ones as well as the ones that had turned her into an anomaly, a woman afraid to trust even the kindest of lovers.

But she trusted Matt. He saw her and saw beauty. He wanted her enough to let her take the lead. He even cared enough to promise her the child she’d always wanted, whether or not it shared their genes. “I’ll try,” she said quietly, doubts still swirling around her mind as memories of times gone by collided with hopes for a future with him. “Right now I just want you to help me ride out the storm.”

“As I told you, your wish is my command.” Drawing her close, he took her mouth, pulling away only when Blue let out a screech and jumped off the couch. When Matt broke the sensual yet unthreatening kiss, she glanced at the hearth and saw Blue sitting there, an indignant scowl on his face that went well with his laid-back ears. “We don’t have to have a kid, come to think of it. Blue’s good enough for me. How about you?”

“He’s my baby, all right. But I’d love to give him a brother or sister of the human persuasion.” Diana felt freer than she had in years. For once she didn’t beat down the hope that rose in her. “Maybe we can give it a try someday.”

Matt squeezed her hand. “I’m game if you are. Did you realize we might have already done that this morning?”

For the first time she thought about having fucked him, giving no thought to protection at the time. “Oh no.”

“Would you mind? I wouldn’t.”

Things were moving too fast. Diana’s attempt at making a switch from slave to Domme wasn’t working.
