CHAPTER 7

The next morning, Alex gently shook her awake. “Time to get up.”

Laura squinted at the bright sunshine streaming in around the edges of the drapes. It had taken her a while to fall asleep last night, although her husband had held her in his arms all night long. Again.

While Alex took a shower, she packed her suitcase, laying out the clothes she planned to wear today. When they returned to the city, would they continue to get to know each other, as they had slowly been doing here on the ranch, or would Alex become an enigmatic man of mystery once more?

After a quick breakfast, they tidied the kitchen. Alex loaded the suitcases into the SUV and assisted Laura into the vehicle. “Got everything?” he asked.

“Yes.” She was sure she hadn't forgotten anything.

Laura looked regretfully out of the window as the miles flashed past. Alex drove expertly, but she couldn’t help wishing he was a mile an hour driver, so she could savor her last hour or so in Wyoming.

She turned to look at him. “When can we come back?”

His eyes met hers for an instant before returning to the road. “As soon as I get to the bottom of your business problems.”

“Good.” His answer made her smile. Perhaps next time they were here, she would get to meet Garrett and Maddie.

When they arrived at the airport, Alex parked, then ushered her over to the private plane. Noticing she looked back at the SUV, he explained, “I’ve already arranged for it to be picked up and taken back to the ranch.”

Laura nodded, aware of how easy some things seemed to be when she was with him. She guessed that’s what happened when you traveled with a billionaire.

Once aboard the plane, she settled back in the luxurious recliner. How was she supposed to travel on a commercial plane ever again? It was so nice having the plane to themselves. Perhaps she wouldn’t have to, she mused. But she didn’t want to become spoiled. As long as she remembered who she was, she should be okay.

Laura didn’t know whether to be sad or glad when they touched down in San Diego. Sad, because her honeymoon was officially over, or glad that today would mark the next phase of her marriage to Alex.

After they walked off the plane, Alex handled everything in his usual efficient manner. In fact, he seemed to be efficient at everything. Apart from consummating the marriage. A small giggle tried to erupt from her lips, but Laura tamped it down.

“What’s so funny?” he inquired, ushering her into the waiting silver town car.

“Nothing.” She bit her lip, hoping the small jab of pain would stop her from laughing. Somehow, she didn’t think her husband would find it amusing.

His eyes darkened as he watched the small movement of her teeth. Blushing, Laura scrambled into the soft leather seats, her eyes widening when Alex slid in beside her, pulling her to him.

She was conscious of his hard, muscled thigh brushing her soft one all the way to the penthouse.
