"So how do you plan on doing this without alerting them as to the fact I won't be going back?", Lori asked as she looked at him right before he was about ready to head out.
"Give me your keys.", he said first then he went on, "Where is it?"
"Closet.", She replied, and he walked out. That was five minutes ago, and she was left sitting on the couch that was there. She heard the door close and the footsteps up to the door as he turned and opened it.
He took one look at her and knew it wasn't good."What?", he asked as he opened the door.
The night on the lake was darkened, and the lights were only on the inside of the house, so that left the deck bathed in darkness and shadows. As his arms came around her to being gently swaying to the music she was left in awe for the moment. It was an incredibly well thought out moment. Almost too well thought out."How is everything already programmed Mike?", she asked."I was hoping you wouldn't ask that.", he said with a sigh. "I should have known you would think abo
"Lori. I have to stop.", he said."Why?", she asked."It isn't the right time for more.” Mike said as he ran his finger down her cheek wiping away the tears there."What if it is what I want?", She asked, and his eyes flew to hers. Her soft smile and contented voice which sounded nothing like the one he had just heard.
"I lied a little," he said as she pulled on her hand leading her to the back of the first floor."You lied?", she asked."Well, I said there were four rooms. There are more of course, but we don't normally discuss the others.", He said with a chuckle. There was an outline of a door but no knob on it. He typed in a code on the pin pad she saw as he touched it, it became luminescent. She tilted her head and looked at him as the door popped open. He walked into the larger open room, and she followed. "The family business,
"Oh, I can piece together just about anything if I wanted too.", he said as he turned to her, "But I would rather learn it from the source, not a computer screen." His golden yellow eyes were burning with a wanting. He had seen something on the screen that had piqued his interest, but he wouldn't ask her about it."What do you want to know?", she asked matching him in the now staring contest."Why are you still single?", He asked. Blunt and to the point, he liked it better that way.
She saw the note on the island and picked it up. She figured that it would be from him, but she was a little unsure.Princess,Went to the store to get supplies and didn't want to wake you. I will be back soon.M.A.
"This is the first time I have used the databases like this princess.", he said as she tilted her head. "What? This is personal.""It is personal for you?", she asked."Very personal.", he said as he moved closer. "Why is it personal for you?", she asked on a whisper."You are personal for me.", he said as he bent to her neck and nuzzled into it. "
Lori woke from the nap her and Mike both took to the sound of running water. She looked around the room only to realize there were no clocks anywhere in the house. She had turned off her phone at the restaurant the night before. She had no idea how long or little she had slept. The light seemed to be still high, so she guessed it was a short nap. Time with Mike had been interesting, to say the least. She had never met someone like him before, he was guarded, but open to her, almost every conversation with him was an eye-opener for her.He cared very little for his good fortune in life because it came
