Chapter 9

A week later, they returned to the hustle of New York. Since the retreat, Natasha and Damien had grown closer, and for the first time she was seriously contemplating trying to juggle a romantic relationship alongside her career.

After an unusually grueling day of rehearsals, Natasha tiredly reached her apartment around 8:45 p.m. As she exited the elevator, she wished she had taken Damien up on his dinner invitation. This was the first night they were spending apart in eight days, and she missed him already. Idiot, you can do without him for one night. Lord knows the rest would do them both good.

Sighing, she turned the key to unlock the door and stopped in her tracks when she found the object of her thoughts, Damien, dressed in a meticulous navy suit and standing beside an elegantly set candlelit table for two.

“What are you doing here?”

“Since it would be unwise for us to be seen in a restaurant—” he smiled “—I thought I’d surprised you with a gourmet dinner here.”

She dropped her gym bag onto a chair and pulled the band from her hair. His elegant attire made her all the more conscious of her own shabby dress of sweats and sneakers.

“You definitely surprised me.” She dropped her keys on the table and approached him. “Is this why you had Rachel take over the last hour of rehearsal?”

He grinned. “Yeah, I had to get my surprise ready.”

Natasha echoed his smile. “How did you get in here?”

“I bribed the super.”

“You didn’t.” She shook her head reproachfully.

“Oh yes, I did.”

She chuckled. “How much did it cost you?”

“I’m not telling.” He kissed her lingeringly. “It might make you too conceited.”

“Mmm.” She wound her arms around his neck. “Maybe I should give you a key so you won’t have to resort to such drastic measures again.”

She held her breath and waited for his response to her spontaneous offer. She hadn’t meant to say that, but she meant it nonetheless. She stared unwaveringly into his intense eyes as he contemplated her words.

“Maybe you should,” he spoke after several seconds of contemplative silence.

She sighed inwardly at his agreement, glad she hadn’t freaked him out. They smiled at each other before their mouths met in a searing, thorough kiss. Natasha’s face registered surprise when he pulled back.

“Now go and change.” He pushed her toward the bedroom. “You’ll find everything you need laid out on your bed.”

“What have you done?” She laughed and walked toward the bedroom.

“You’ll see.”

In her room she found a gorgeous white sleeveless gown and matching pumps. She fingered the sheer, expensive fabric and shook her head in wonder before traipsing happily into the bathroom to shower.

About half an hour later, she emerged wearing the figure-hugging gown that accentuated all of her curves and drew attention to her rounded breasts. She left her hair loose and flowing the way he liked it.

His mouth dropped open at her entrance. Gazing at the beauty before him, he felt as if he had been punched hard in the stomach.
