clothes.
I’ve never taken such pleasure in purchasing things for a woman. However, with Eva, I would have cleaned out the store to see the awe in her eyes and smile on her face. I want to spoil this woman with everything her heart desires.
“Will you watch that documentary I was telling you about with me?”
I glance over and smile. “Yeah, sounds good. We can do that.”
“What was it about again?”
“The history and Evolution of American Architecture. I’m so excited to watch it. I heard it’s awesome.”
“Speaking of which. I found those books you were asking about. I brought them out of storage,” I say, referencing some old textbooks and other books I’ve accumulated over the years.
Eva is more than an avid reader. She devours books and information. I think at times she forgets I’m even around as she gets lost in the pages she reads.
Her voice shows her excitement. “Oh, maybe we should wait on the documentary. I’m so glad you were able to find them,” she says.
“Told you I would. We can do either.”
I should’ve known she’d opt out of the movie for the books. I shake my head. I’ll never fault her for her brilliance. It’s sexy as fuck to me.
As I think on it a little more, I come up with an idea. “How about this? When we get back, I’ll order our food, you can start reading and once the food arrives, we’ll eat. Then we can watch the documentary and then relax in a bath,” we say the last part at the same time, bringing a broad smile to my face.
“You’ve got it, darlin’,” I say.
“Sounds good to me,” she sings.
I smile at the road ahead of me. Not for the first time, I muse over how good Eva is for me. I’ve spent the day with her shopping and I’ve never been more content.
When I think of my future, I see her in it. Her bright smile and those gorgeous eyes. I reach over to place my hand on her thigh.
I think I’m trying to hold her in place, so I don’t lose her. My chest tightens at the thought of being without this woman and I know I need to move things along where King is concerned. The more time that passes, the bigger problem this will be.
I’m falling in love with her.

Our World

“Come on, baby. You were the one that wanted to play,” Owen teases.
I stick my tongue out at him. “Whatever,” I mumble to myself.
This was my idea, but I’m having a hard time getting into it. We have been in his game room, playing pool for the last two hours. It’s not that I don’t like pool. I have other things on my mind.
If I wasn’t totally in love with Owen, I’ve fallen ten times over in the last three weeks. We have worked together from home during this whole time. He has run out to a site once or twice a week to put out a couple of fires and check on things, but I stay behind to work on whatever design tasks he trusts me with.
I have to say I’ve learned so much. During working hours, Owen is all business. Not like that day in his office on his desk. He may rest a hand on my hip, thigh, or the small of my back, but those are all possessive gestures that are becoming natural to him.
He’s always aware of where I am and what I’m doing. I feel like we finish each other’s sentences now. I haven’t been this happy in… yeah, not ever. I love me some Owen, and I love the bubble we have built around us.
That’s why I’m pouting now. Meetings and clients need his attention. Our time here is up. I knew it was coming, but it still stings to know the time is here.
I understand, but I don’t want to share him with the world. This weekend seems like it has gone way too fast. I continue to pout as I chalk my pool stick to take my next shot.
He’s kicking my ass because I’m distracted by the feeling of dread I have for tomorrow. Tomorrow, I will have to remember Owen is my boss, not my boyfriend. I won’t be able to lean over and kiss his cheek or reach over to run my hand through his hair. All things I haven’t had to think about in the last three weeks. Things I’ve started to do daily.
