BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR

While a pot of creamy beef stroganoff simmered on the stove for dinner, Jillian went about slicing and dicing vegetables for a salad, expecting Dean home any time, since he’d texted her a while ago to let her know he was leaving the office shortly. She always liked having a hot meal waiting for him, and he always seemed to appreciate the effort.

She loved to cook… especially in the gourmet kitchen Dean had insisted she have when they’d drawn up the specs for their custom built home. For the first fifteen years of their marriage they’d lived in middle income neighborhoods before finally being able to afford to build the house of their dreams. And while she’d never complained about their modest lifestyle and had learned to budget their money well during those leaner years, she knew that Dean had big goals, and that had included being a self-made man and being wealthy enough to give Jillian every luxury he thought she deserved.

Those were the things that drove him on a daily basis. It never mattered how much she assured him that she was happy, so long as she was with him and the boys—for Dean, he measured his success in what he could provide in material objects, because of his own impoverished childhood.

But what he didn’t realize was that the things he’d given her that were most precious were not tangible items or valuable assets. She might have been raised by filthy rich parents who’d given her every advantage until she’d married Dean, but he’d provided unconditional love, security, and happiness. Emotional things that money could never buy. His strong work ethic had allowed her to be a stay-at-home wife and mother, and she loved taking care of her boys and Dean. Making sure that they were happy made her feel complete.

Smiling to herself, she dumped the cubed tomatoes and cucumbers into the salad bowl, then turned to stir the pot of stroganoff when she caught sight of a male figure out of the corner of her eye. She gasped, even as she realized it was Dean who was leaning against the door jamb, startled by the fact that he’d managed to come into the house so silently.

Then again, the man was a trained SEAL, and the element of stealth and surprise was something they, and he, excelled in.

“Jesus, Dean,” she said, exasperated, as she turned off the burner on the stove. “I didn’t hear you come in from the garage and you startled me. When did you get home?”

“A few minutes ago.”

And clearly he’d been quietly watching her, studying her. His stance was deceptively casual, contradicting the burning heat in his gaze as it raked over her, taking in the tank top and form fitting yoga pants she’d changed into after taking a shower a few hours ago. When his stormy gray eyes met hers again, he looked agitated and dear Lord, she felt… aroused.

She swallowed, uncertain of his true mood, yet sensing an undercurrent of change in the air, and that excited her, too.
