NICOLE WOKE UP EARLY, AND LAY IN BED BESIDE JASON, studying his relaxed features. He was sprawled on his stomach, taking up most of the bed. She realized that she still hadn’t told him about the potential job in Austin. Not wanting to wake him, she eased out of the bed. She found his robe in the bathroom and slipped it on, tying it tight around her waist and moved out to the living room.

She had meant to tell him about the job last night, but they had gotten sidetracked when he started kissing her. She blushed, remembering everything they had done with each other in the bedroom. He was a very generous lover, and had encouraged her to experiment to find out what he liked. She had been hesitant at first to take the lead, but Jason was patient, and her confidence at being able to please him was growing.

Suddenly, his arms wrapped around her from behind and she gave a startled cry, and then relaxed against him. “Good morning,” he whispered against her neck, nuzzling her. “I woke up and you were gone. For a minute, I was afraid I had dreamed the whole thing.”

“I couldn’t sleep, and I didn’t want to wake you, you were so tired the other day…” She turned in his arms and laid her head on his chest. “We need to talk, and you can’t distract me this time.”

“Okay.” He kissed the top of her head. “How about we make breakfast and we can talk while we eat?” he dropped his arms and led her into the kitchen. He put her in charge of toast and coffee, while he whipped up omelets for both of them.

“So you do know how to cook,” she teased, watching him.

“I learned out of self-preservation. I hate cold cereal, and eating out gets expensive, even on a doctor’s salary,” he grinned as he slid the omelets out of the frying pan and onto plates. While she carried the plate of toast and the coffee pot to the table, he brought over the omelets.

“So, now that my mouth and hands are busy with food, talk to me,” he instructed as she poured them both cups of coffee. He watched while she measured out sugar, and then added cream. “Nicole?”

“My former boss called on Thursday,” she began, glancing up at him from under her eyelashes, and then away. “He’s invited me to come to Austin on Monday to talk about my job. They, uh, they want me back, desperately, from the way he sounded. He said I could pretty much write my own ticket back in, that it could lead to partner in a year or so.”

He set down his fork and studied her. “I thought you didn’t want that lifestyle any more,” he reminded her.

“I know, but…” she shrugged. “They want me. They’re begging me to come back. And I could make partner in a year!” she met his gaze. “I’ve worked my whole life to get to this point.
