Chapter 24
Ted carried Caroline's bags and her box of plants out to his car and then went back for his own bag. "Do you have everything?"
"I'm just trying to think. I stopped my mail, cleaned out the fridge, and took out the trash." She chewed on her thumbnail as she looked around her apartment. "I feel like there's something I'm forgetting to do."
"We've got time, so why don't you come kiss me until you think of it."
"Because if I do that, I won't be able to think at all. You stay over there."
Ted flopped down on the sofa and pretended to pout as he watched her think. He was so glad she was coming with him, especially after spending the night wrapped around her and then waking up to her in the morning. There had never been anything quite like opening his eyes to a new day and finding her there next to him.
She leaned over her desk, giving Ted an excellent view of her backside in a fitted white skirt. He couldn't believe it was possible that he already wanted her again.
Caroline turned around and caught him checking her out. "What are you doing?"
"Just enjoying the view, which I have to say, is even better from the front." He made no attempt to hide that he was fixated now on the cleavage made prominent by her light blue halter.
She hobbled over to the sofa and sat on his lap. "You make me melt when you look at me like that."
He pulled her closer. "I want you all the time, even when I've just had you."
"You'd better get a handle on that, sailor. You've got to go back to work tomorrow."
"Don't remind me," he groaned. "I'll tell you right now I'm taking a vacation in August, and we're going somewhere fabulous where I can keep you naked for a whole week."
"Oh, I like the sound of that." She kissed him with abandon. "Wait!" She pulled back, leaving him panting for more. "I thought of it. I almost forgot to pay the bills. You've got me totally distracted."
"Just bring them with you. We should get out of here before rush hour." He reluctantly eased her off his lap and stood up. "Do you need your crutches?"
"Nah, leave them." She tossed the bills and her checkbook into the bag where she had earlier put her computer. "I don't need them anymore."
Ted took the bag from her and slung it over his shoulder.
She locked the deadbolt and followed him down the stairs.
He opened the car door for her and stashed her bag behind the seat.
"The last time I was in this car we were on the way to the emergency room."
"Hard to believe that was only a couple of weeks ago." He flipped the switch to take the top down. "I feel like I've lived a lifetime since then." At the stop sign at the end of her block he stopped the car and turned to her. "I know what you forgot!"
"What?" she asked, alarmed.
