SAM AND QUINCY arrived home an hour before dinner and Chris showed up a few minutes later. Victoria let Sam know where his and Rayne’s bedroom was, so he made his way upstairs and let himself quietly into the room. Noticing the dying fire, he put a log in it and stoked it back to a decent roar. Rayne was sound asleep.

He smiled as he climbed in beside her and pulled her body close to his.

Rayne sighed as Sam kissed her neck. “George! What are you doing? My husband mustn’t find you here.”

Sam chuckled as he reached his arm over her hip.

“Hi.” Rayne rolled over to face him. “How did you know I was here?”

“Quincy told me.”

Rayne yawned. “I didn’t actually intend to fall asleep.”

“You need to remember you’re getting over a nasty flu.”

“Right. Flu. I just want you to know, I will never have the flu again.” He chuckled and she stroked his face. “Have you sorted everything out?”

“Not really, but we’re getting close. How are you feeling?”

“Better. Especially, now that you’re here.” She kissed him.

“I don’t want you to overdo it.”

“I just took a really long nap. Does that look like I’m overdoing it?” She grinned and pushed him onto his back. “Of course, if we could overdo it a few times before dinner, I wouldn’t object.”

She pulled her chemise over her head and kissed him as she unbuttoned his shirt. Every little movement, however, caused the bed to squeak, and Rayne got lost in the giggles. Sam tried to roll her over, and Rayne groaned. “Shh. Hannah’s sleeping just down the hall.”

“How am I supposed to not move?” Sam growled.

“Floor. Let’s move to the floor.”

They climbed out of the bed and he pulled the quilt off the end to lie on the floor in front of the fireplace. They took their time and by the time they pulled the quilt around their bodies, Rayne felt like another nap. “Wow!” she whispered. “That’s what I call afternoon delight.”

“Pardon?”

“It’s a song about making love in the afternoon.” She sang a few lines and giggled at his confused expression.

“Delightful is one way to describe it, I suppose.”

She laid her head on his shoulder and looked up at him. “You don’t like delightful?”

Sam chuckled. “It seems inadequate somehow.”

Rayne shivered. “Yes, it does.”

Sam wrapped the quilt tighter around her body when he saw her shiver. “Cold?”

“A little.” She moved her body closer to his. “When can we go home?”

“Not for a couple of days.” Sam rubbed her back. “Eager?”

Rayne nodded. “I want to be able to scream. This whole trying to stay quiet thing bites.”

Sam laughed. “You can scream into a pillow next time.”

“Ooh, good idea!” She kissed him. “Where’s my bag, by the way?”

“In the wardrobe? Why?”

She rubbed her forehead. “I have a little bit of a headache.”

Sam sat up. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

“Because then you may not have done what we just did.”

“You’re right.” Sam rose to his feet and made his way to the wardrobe. “What can I get you?”

“I have Advil in my bag.
