The doctor hid a smile. "Good. That’s all I needed to know." Kaleb waited until she was safely strapped into his car before he reinforced what they had both heard. "You heard what the doctor said, Sasha. I hope you’re going to take notice." Stay calm, she told herself, stay calm. She cleared her throat. "No matter what the doctor said—I still have a business to run. I can’t just pretend it doesn’t exist." He didn’t answer immediately as he maneuvered the car out of the hospital gates and drove as carefully as if he had a consignment of raw eggs on the seat beside him." You’re not to worry about the business. That’s all going to be taken care of." Not to worry, indeed! "But how, Kaleb?" she wailed. "We can’t cope with just one staff and I haven’t got enough money to pay someone else if I can’t work myself." He stole a glance at her. "Let me concentrate on the road," he said abruptly. "I don’t want to have a row in the car." "Who said anything about a row?" she asked. "That mutin

She wriggled her shoulders, as if trying to ease the tension out of them, and hair shimmered. Worse than that—it drew his attention to the heavy fullness of her breasts. He felt the hot flame of desire, and dampened it down to a dull smolder. "You started it by talking about me while I was out of the room!" "Eavesdroppers never hear any good about themselves," she said serenely. "Anyway, we were just discussing where you’re going to sleep." She smiled, and looked at the appropriately modest suitcase he had carried in with him. "Like me to show you your room?" "Okay." Feeling a little like a man going off to his own execution, he followed—noticing now how the pregnancy had added a little extra flesh to her bottom. But the added curves suited her, he decided. Maybe too much. He hadn’t been in her place since the day they’d made love, and he felt the blood heating his face as they reached her bedroom door.The image of that evening was burned indelibly into his memory, and it came on

Sasha drew in a sharp breath. That was what she had been hinting at, yes. She hadn’t expected him to be quite so blunt about it. He didn’t wait for an answer."There’s no need to start looking coy all of a sudden. That, presumably, is what you’re angling to hear about? My past… Or current relationships?""I’d be lying if I told you I wasn’t interested," she told him quietly. "Yet I’m not really certain that I want to hear about them.""Maybe you should start the ball rolling by telling me about yours," he challenged softly."Oh, just...the usual." "That’s a pretty sweeping definition." He narrowed his eyes. "Ever come close to marrying?" "Nope. Have you?" He shook his head. "Never. Ever been in love?" Well, she certainly wasn’t going to admit to loving...she deliberately changed the tense...to having loved him. Honesty should not equal humiliation!"What’s love?" she asked, properly flippant this time."Cynic!" he laughed, but oddly he found that her answer disappointed him. Surel

"Oh, you mean your two missed calls and one message?" Sasha replied sarcastically, and Kaleb squinted his eyes. "You must have really tried your best to reach me with those sleazy attempts of yours, huh?""What do you mean?" Kaleb huffed, sitting more comfortably."I mean three trials and you're here complaining?" Sasha muttered under her breath, and he raised an amused eyebrow."So you think it wasn't enough? Do you prefer I called you nonstop and sent you a bundle of texts instead?" He smiled boyishly.Sasha rolled her eyes and got up, flustered. "No, I never said that," she replied stoutly."Oh, you didn't?" Kaleb gazed up at her, grinning."Yes, I'm only saying that you could have—" She halted. "Wait, you're only trying to evade the main issue here, aren't you?" Her voice was accusing."Meaning?" Kaleb was enjoying the show."Why are we even discussing this?" Sasha demanded, stunned."Because you want to?" Kaleb answered with a sweet smile, folding his arms across the chest."Of c

Sasha's body was resting on Kaleb's, both lying intimately on the couch. The flat screen was rambling on something none of the two paid attention at. Outside it was slightly raining, the water sliding smoothly on the glass of the window. It felt peaceful; Sasha couldn't deny this feeling of such rarity in her heart."Why did you rip off my blouse?" Sasha lamented.Kaleb was smoothly toying with her hair, tangling and detangling the strands. "I was in a hurry to undress you, I guess," he answered flatly, grinning at her.Sasha sighed. "You're so crazy, Kaleb.” The back of her hand grazed his cleanly shaved face that made him look younger than his thirty-two years of age."You've said that over a million times already." Kaleb's hands slid down to her waist, playfully reaching for the hem of his shirt. It was the only thing Sasha was wearing right now."Kaleb!" She giggled as he squeezed her butt with both hands, knowing fully well that she had no pantie inside. "What are you doing?""Ex
