“WHAT YOU DID for Louie was amazing,” Bridgette said to Zane as she hugged him goodbye after the party. “He’ll remember this day forever.”

“He’s a great little guy.” Zane reached for Willow’s hand, glad to see things between her and Bridgette seemed to be okay. “If you have time while I’m in town, why don’t we all get together? We can do something kid friendly.”

The smile Willow flashed made him want to suggest it again and again.

“Or we can have Mom and Dad watch Louie and we can do something adultish,” Bridgette suggested.

“I’ll call you, Bridge.” Willow hugged her, and Zane heard indiscernible whispers pass between them.

They both came away smiling, which he took as a good sign, and Willow reached for his hand again.

“Thank you for being so good to Louie,” she said as they walked down the driveway toward their cars. “I’ve never seen him so happy.”

“I’m sorry about being so late. I thought I could get a costume at Walmart in the next town over, but they only had kids’ sizes. I had to call a buddy from the city, and he met me halfway.”

“You had someone drive halfway from New York City? You must have really good friends.”

“Why does that surprise you?” He nudged her shoulder with his. “You know I’m a good guy.”

“Yeah. I do.”

“So you’ll stop all the nonsense and give me a chance?”

“Haven’t I already shown you that?” When they reached her car, she hooked her finger into the waist of his jeans and pulled him closer. “On the counter in my bakery kitchen? On the prep table? In my office?”

His body had been humming all afternoon from their sexy tryst. “Maybe you should refresh my memory.” He backed her up, trapping her against the car.

“Do I have a choice?” she teased.

“Always.”

She shook her head with a sweet smile on her lips. “Not when it comes to you I don’t. I never have.”

His mouth came down gently over hers in a kiss so warm and wonderful he never wanted it to end.

“Let’s go by Ben’s and get your stuff,” she said between kisses.

“It’s in my car.”

“Geez. You could at least pretend like it was my choice.”

He laughed as she climbed into her car. “Babe, I know you better than you know yourself. How many times do I have to say that before you realize it’s true?”

Her smile faded, and she ran her finger along the edge of the steering wheel, avoiding his eyes. “I told Bridgette.”

“I know you did.”

Her eyes flicked to his. “How . . . ?”

He cocked a brow.

“Right.” She smiled again. “You know me.”

“I told Ben.”

“You said you might.” She reached up and grabbed his shirt, tugging him down to eye level. “I’m scared, Z. You need to know that. Like, scared-to-death scared.”

“I know that, too, sweetheart, and I’m going to do everything I can to make sure you know you can trust me.” He gave her a chaste kiss. “We’re playing by my rules, remember? Let go of all
