down the deposit. Mrs. Cramble said she doesn’t have to sell right now, but this way at least I know it’s ours while still giving us time to get settled in Shadows Landing.”
“We will put down the deposit and then we are going to make love all night,” Trent said, dipping his voice low so it rumbled through her. Trent reached for her and she happily went into his arms. She loved this man so much that every time he touched her, the rest of the world fell away and it was just the two of them.
“That sounds divine, but it’ll have to be later tonight.”
Trent stopped with the sexy eyes and blinked. “What do you mean, later?”
“I have knitting club tonight!”
Trent chuckled as he looked at her in his arms. “You’re very excited about knitting club.”
“Mitzy is going to help me make something for you. Do you know Mitzy’s daughter-in-law, AKA Karen the She-Devil, told Mitzy that she’s worried that Mitzy can’t care for herself? Karen wants to move Mitzy into a retirement home that Mitzy would have to pay for so that She-Devil can move into Mitzy’s home!”
Trent shook his head. “She’s a piece of work. We all tried to warn Mitzy’s son. What is Mitzy going to do?”
Skye smiled and felt a smidge naughty. “I took care of it. Mitzy said her son and Satan’s bride are coming this weekend. That’s when they’ll be surprised to find Mitzy has live-in help in the form of a butler who happens to also be a retired registered nurse. I hired him and told Mitzy her insurance covers it. Don’t tell her I’m paying for it. But now I need to get to knitting club.”
Skye rose up on her toes and kissed his lips. The kiss was supposed to be a quick goodbye kiss, but kissing Trent never went quickly. He elevated kissing to an art form and who was she to interrupt an artist?
“I still can’t believe Ryker is opening his gates for knitting club,” Trent told her as he took her hand in his and walked out to the car. They’d moved back into Trent’s house yesterday, but one didn’t mess with the knitting club schedule so Skye pleaded with Ryker to let them hold it in the guesthouse. He’d been surprisingly quick to say yes.
“I think he likes me. And I like him. There’s a lot going on underneath, but like Granger, there’s goodness in him too.”
“They’re both good guys. Actually, since you all are knitting, Ryker invited a bunch of us to the main house for some drinks.”
Trent opened the car door for her and she got in. Skye loved watching Trent walk around to his door. It was a moment where she could just ogle him and smile to herself that she got to be the one with him.
“That sounds like fun,” she told him when he got into the car.
The drive next door from Mrs. Cramble’s to Ryker’s guesthouse was quick. Edie was already waiting by the guesthouse with Ryker, both holding large baskets as Skye got out to greet them. “You’re early!”
“I know. It was my week to bring the food and drinks. Ryker’s helping me carry it all inside,” Edie told her.
“I still don’t know why you bother,” Ryker said, pushing the door open. “They’ll all bring something even if they’re not supposed to.”
Edie shrugged as Skye and Trent each picked up a plate from Edie’s car. “I know, but I like giving them a little something to take home. This way everyone goes home with a full plate of food for the next day.”
Ryker grunted but carried the large basket into the living room. As Skye and Edie worked on setting out the food and drinks, Ryker and Trent moved the furniture. At the first sign of headlights approaching in the dusky night, Ryker and Trent made their escape to the main house.
“They’re good guys,” Edie said with a shake of her head as they watched the men literally ducking behind a large topiary to hide from arriving knitting club members.
“What about you and Ryker?” Skye gave a little wiggle of her eyebrows at her new friend.
“I’m not ready. Besides, he’s like a brother. I haven’t been able to think of any man in that special way since I lost my Shane. I don’t know if I ever will,” Edie admitted and Skye wanted to hug her and do whatever she could to take that pain away. Sometimes it was karma,
