Chapter 7

Morning came way too soon as far as Taylor was concerned. She had spent the night in Mike’s arms and it was a glorious feeling. They had made love more times than she could have imagined. And now that it was Monday, she felt a sense of disappointment she hadn’t felt in a long time. She wasn’t ready for the weekend to be over—or for reality to set in. For almost twenty-four hours she and Mike had existed in a world of their own, and no matter how much she wanted to do this interview with his boss, she was slowly coming to realize that she wanted the time with Mike more.

Turning her head slightly, she looked at him as he slept. Who would have thought that the boy she once knew would turn into this incredibly sexy man who seemed to find great joy in entertaining and pleasing her? He seemed to know more about her than he had ever let on. Was she that transparent? Taylor hadn’t spent a whole lot of time alone with him all those years ago, and even Eddie wasn’t aware of who she was back then.

No, back then she was a girl of eighteen. Her head was full of dreams that she didn’t share with anyone because she didn’t have the confidence to do so. Eddie only knew the side of her that had wanted to be a wife and mother. He never knew her dreams of being a journalist, or of leaving New York altogether. All of their plans back then had been focused on his future. Looking back, she realized how sad it would have made her. Maybe now she could finally let go of the feeling of betrayal and focus on the man lying beside her who seemed genuinely interested in knowing who she was and giving her what she wanted.

She jumped when the alarm went off at eight o’clock. Mike stirred beside her and reached out to shut it off. Without missing a beat, he rolled over and tucked Taylor beneath him, kissing her until they both were breathless. “Good morning.”

Unable to help herself, she smiled against his lips. “Good morning. I didn’t realize you had set the alarm.”

“I wanted us to have time to get up and have some breakfast before heading over to pick up the bikes. We can do the tour at our own pace, but I reserved the bikes for eleven o’clock. Will that be enough time, do you think?” Taylor thought about it for a moment and then her expression changed, fell. “What?” he asked as he sat up, alarmed by the look on her face. “What’s the matter?”

“I had no idea you had planned something like this, and I didn’t pack for a bike ride.” She was sure her disappointment was palpable, and she hated that she was going to miss out on something as wonderful as this over a change of clothes.

“Is that all?” he asked.

“I don’t think you understand. I can’t go for a bike ride in boots with heels, trust me.
