Marcus in three weeks than I had ever shared with Tom. There was something sad about that. A missed opportunity to share and explore something special with another person. Or maybe I was just sad that I hadn’t elicited a stronger response in him. For a while I really thought we could have had something together.
    Sometimes it is hard to be wrong.
    But Marcus . . . oh, yes. Kiss by kiss, touch by touch, look by look, moment by moment, he let me know how much he wanted me, and that was a very heady thing indeed. They say knowledge is power, but in a situation like this, did he hold the power? Or did I? And did that even matter when the end result promised so much fun and excitement along the way?
    I think not.
    And for once Minnie was playing along, not biting toes, not burrowing in my hair, not trying to worm her fuzzy face in between his and mine. It was just me gazing up at him, slipping my hands inside his shirt collar and holding him close, and it was him, taking me along with him for a truly wonderful ride. Never had a sofa seemed so blissfully comfortable before.
    “Bedroom?” His voice and breath tickled in my ear, rumbling with possibilities.
    I nodded. I didn’t trust my ability to speak at the moment.
    Who needed rose petals and love-infused candles? Not this sometimes witchy woman.
    He locked my arms around his neck and lifted me up in his arms, romance-hero style, with nary a grunt or groan to be heard. Bless the man. Nothing doused romantic fires quite as abruptly as the sudden rearing up of that ugly beast otherwise known as “Body Issues.”
    Kissing while walking and carrying the full body weight of another person and wending one’s way between and around furniture is quite a mean feat. I am happy to report that Marcus handled all of the above most admirably. I might even say, with skill.
    The bed swallowed me whole, comfy and deep. I sighed as I was pressed down into it by the delicious weight of his lean body. Kiss for kiss, touch for touch, things were progressing far better than I had even planned. It was still daylight out, the long, lazy hours before dusk would arrive, but it seemed even the stars were aligning in honor of the night, because I could swear I heard angelic trumpets sounding in my ears.
    Or it could be the triumphant march of the 1812 Overture blaring at us from the top of the dresser, over in the corner.
    “No, no, no, no, no!” I muttered to myself in frustration, squeezing my eyes tight to keep my mood from dissipating like so many steamy vapors. “I changed that ringtone. Ages ago. I swear I did.” Not to mention I had set my phone on vibrate.
    I frowned. Actually, I pouted.
    “It’s mine.” Marcus rolled off me with a sigh and a reluctant backward glance at my still supine body.
    He grabbed the cell phone off the dresser, flipped it open, and lifted it to his mouth without looking at it. “Yeah.” To me, he mouthed with a dangerous glint in his eyes, Don’t . Move.
    I wasn’t going anywhere. Trust me on that.
    “Hey, Liss. What’s up? Maggie? Yeah, she’s here.” He listened for a moment. “Hold on.” He held the phone out to me. “Someone’s trying to get ahold of you. Sounds urgent.”

    It wasn’t too hard to come up with a list of likely suspects. Topping the chart? My loving, if overbearing mother, natch.
    I could always be wrong, though.
    “Oh, Maggie, I’m so glad I found you.” Liss’s urgent energy sizzled along the airwaves, sinking into my suddenly alert nerve endings. “Your mother has been burning up the phone lines at the store. She’s quite insistent on finding you. Now, dear, I know you’re, shall we say, busy ”—I blushed at that—“but I don’t think she will be willing to give up the ghost easily.”
    That was a given. This was my mother we were talking about. She could give any pit bull a run for its money for sheer stubbornness. “No, I’m sure she won’t. I’m sorry for the trouble,
