I shift in my seat and look across the table at Dotty, who seems to be keeping her eyes on my hands.  However, the longer she looks, the bigger her frown gets. I guess I don’t have to ask whether they were in on my surprise. A slight pain tugs at my heart when I remember Connor’s sad face last night when I told him I wouldn’t wear the engagement ring.  I didn’t answer his question about marrying him again because I don’t know whether I would.  Plus, we are already married.  So, how can we get married again?Connor sits down beside me and kisses my forehead. I must commend him.  Even though he didn’t get the answer he was clearly hoping for, he didn’t let it affect our night alone together.  We still had a nice evening watching movies and drinking wine.  I might even call it romantic.He glances across the table at Dotty.  “If you are wondering

A gasp fills the air and my mind locks on one word.  Darling. I shove Connor off me and pull my skirt back down while he groans and flops on the couch next to me. My eyes nearly pop out when I spot the large bulge in his pants, which he isn’t trying to hide.  I grab the pillow next to me and drop it on crotch.  However, he doesn’t pay any attention to it.  Instead, he whips his attention to the door and the intruder. The woman shifts slightly on her feet before she shakes her head.   “Con, I didn’t know you had someone in here.  I would have knocked first.  I’m so sorry.” As if she suddenly realizes something, she stops and looks at Connor and then at me.  She narrows her eyes and frowns as she points her finger at him.  “How could you, Con?  You have been holding out for your wife all these years and suddenly you are rubbing up against

I thought I would never meet him again, and I had lost him forever. However, he has been right in front of me, and I didn’t even know it. No wonder I find his warmth and his embraces comforting.  He is the man I’ve been yearning for all these years.   If only I had known, things would hopefully have been different. I take a deep breath as my heartbeat quickens.  I say the words that I didn’t think I would ever say to him.  “I have a confession too.”Every fiber in my body wants to wrap him in my arms and tell him he doesn’t need to worry any more. I lick my lips and look up into those sexy blue eyes.  The same ones which have always made me lose myself within his gaze. “I was hoping to find you one day, but I thought I had lost you.  You were in my dreams for years, until I came to terms with the fact, I would never see you

Unlike yesterday, I have made sure that neither my father nor my brother are anywhere near the company, so my small group of people can enter with no problems. However, I don’t even get to my desk before Ryan marches into my office.  “Con, what the heck?  Why haven’t you dealt with your brother?  You know, he cornered me this morning on my way into the building.  He said that he needs to talk to you immediately and something about your assistant keeps blowing him off when he tries to schedule an appointment.  You can’t let this drag on forever.  You need to handle this and fast.”I stop in front of my desk and lean back against it while I wrap my hands around the edge.  I glance over to the couch at Deanna, almost asking her what to do.  Unfortunately, she shrugs her shoulders. I tap my index finger against the side of the desk as I turn my attention back towards Ryan in the middle

As soon as the conference room door closes, Jennifer’s father turns towards Ryan and demands, “Explain to me why you and Connor are in the picture, too.  Were the two of you at the bachelorette party?” I open my mouth, but before I can say anything, Connor snakes his arm around my waist again and whispers into my ear, “Let Ryan handle this for now.” A part of me wants to defend myself and let them know what I think of them.  However, another part of me enjoys the fact that someone else besides Dotty and her parents will stand up and protect me.  I sigh and lean into his firm body.  His warmth wraps around me like a blanket as I nod.  At some point though, I want to make a few things clear to them, too.  While still flashing his triumphant smile, Ryan points to Connor and then to himself.  “We were both there.  The funny thing about that night, the supposed friends who were throwing the party for Deanna, disappea
