“I got married.” Josie looked over her shoulder at Gabe. He must have interpreted that as an invitation because he stood up and joined her by the tree. He wrapped his arms around her from behind and she leaned into him. She wished for more of this. The holding and cuddling. The affection.

They connected well in the bedroom, she had no complaints about the sex, but she wished for affection outside of it as well. Gabe still held her hand in public but when they were home, it was lovers in the bedroom and friends everywhere else. Why couldn’t he meld the two? She was the only one making an effort with her spontaneous hugs and quick kisses. Hopefully he’d catch on soon that physical affection didn’t always have to lead to naked-time.

“You were blackmailed. They’ll understand,” he said close to her ear. “Especially when you accomplish your goals for the year.”

“It would be nice to know what those were though,” she admitted.

“I thought it was to get two or three new stores up and going.”

“It is, but it doesn’t hold the same appeal as it used to. It just feels like there should be more. It’s the same routine day in and day out.” Gabe kissed the skin beneath her ear. She shivered as he worked his way down her neck. She tilted her head to the side to give him better access. His hands roamed her stomach and slid underneath her sweater. If Josie stepped out of his arms, it would be another lesson in physical affection only, but as Gabe’s warm hands slid across her stomach she forgot all about her lesson plan. One hand went north. The other south. She moaned as they reached their destinations. Her head fell back against Gabe’s shoulder and his lips captured hers. Josie squealed when he picked her up. “What are you doing?”

“I’m breaking up your routine, Mrs. Kane.”

“Thank you,” Josie whispered above his lips. It was the last coherent word she said for a very long time.

The bedroom was dark when she awoke. Josie stretched and purred. Two naps and great sex all on the same day. This was a routine she could get behind except Gabe wasn’t in bed with her. She’d have to fix that. She sat up and heard noises from the living room. Hockey? she wondered. Her nose twitched. Chinese? At the thought it could be Senor Wu’s, she hopped out of bed. Not only did Senor Wu’s deliver, but they delivered both Asian and Mexican cuisine. She slipped her sweater over her head and grabbed the nearest pair of yoga pants. Undergarments will just slow him down later, she rationalized.

Josie stepped into the bathroom and ran a brush through her hair. She frowned at her reflection in the mirror but it didn’t dim the light in her eyes. Josie pointed her finger at her reflection. “You did fail. Admit it! You’re in love with your husband.”

She bent over and brushed her hair from the underside.
