“Good morning.”

Charlotte rolled over, the satin sheets swishing around her bare legs, and squinted her eyes at the intruder.

“You slept a little late this morning, so Lily and I decided to surprise you.”

Charlotte looked beyond the bright sun streaming into the guest bedroom at the man who juggled a baby on his left hip and held a small tray of food in his right hand. He set the tray down on her bedside table, then shifted Lily and smiled.

“Surprise,” he said with a big, sexy grin. “We made your favorite breakfast.”

To think just a week ago he’d been unable to even hold Lily without her crying, and here he’d managed to make breakfast with the little one in tow.

Intrigued, Charlotte peeked over and, sure enough, a plate full of French toast, complete with maple syrup and powdered sugar, stared back at her. A single red rose lay along the edge of the tray. He was changing. Each day he was becoming more and more the man she needed. And last night he’d not only agreed to therapy, he’d looked into it already.

They were moving forward and for the first time in longer than she could remember, they’d stayed up late and actually talked…with their clothes on. After she’d told him about the miscarriage, he’d been so genuinely concerned with her emotions, her feelings. She’d never seen that side of him before.

And now he stood before her looking so sexy with a goofy apron around his waist, a baby on his hip and a full-fledged smile on his face. Yeah, this was a level of love she hadn’t experienced in a long time.

If only the tabloids could see Mr. Hotshot Director now.

“It smells great.” She sat up in bed, adjusting her gown over her breasts. “What made you do this?”

Lily started reaching for Charlotte and Anthony sat her on the bed next to his wife. “I wanted to,” he told her.

She glanced his way curiously, hoping he’d elaborate, but obviously the answer was that simple. He was working extra hard to showcase a new side. And she loved this new Mr. Mom angle. She only prayed he wouldn’t tire of this life of family and domestic bliss.

“Thanks.” Charlotte looked down at Lily and kissed her on the nose. “Thanks to you, too, Lily Bug.”

“Do I get a kiss? I did all the cooking, after all.”

She glanced up at him and rolled her eyes. “Is that why you did this? To get affection?”

His devious smile widened. “No, but I’ll still take it.”

Loving this sweet, playful side, Charlotte shrugged. “Let me see how it tastes first, then we’ll see how much affection you deserve.”

He leaned down close to her ear and whispered, “It’s so good, you’ll have to show me your thanks in private.”

As he eased up, Charlotte caught his gaze roaming down the gap in her silk gown. Her nipples pebbled as his eyes grew darker with desire.

She loved this man. There was no off button to protect her from his charms and passion.
