her.
“No idle hands for you, then?” His voice was softer than before, probably because he was suddenly so close.
“No. What are you doing?” Jerry turned to face him, but didn’t step away. She believed in holding her ground, but she doubted she could move even if she wanted to.
“You heard Nate. We have to get comfortable with each other before we go out in public.” He stepped even closer, tilting her chin up with one long finger. “I think I’ll kiss you,” he murmured, his eyes boring into hers.
“You think you’ll…” Jerry’s words disappeared as his lips met hers, gently, sweetly with barely an ounce of pressure. As quickly as he touched her, he pulled back. His eyes, softer now, were nearly covered with long black lashes. Instantly dizzy, Jerry braced her hands on his waist to keep from falling.
“Did you mind?” His eyes were smiling now, almost as if he could see the erotic images racing through her mind.
“Only if you stop,” she told him and raised her lips to his. It’s just a kiss, she told herself even as he folded her in his arms and took them both deeper. Swirls of light filled her head, competing with the fireworks she swore she heard in the background.

“What time is he picking you up?” Kim’s voice came through the speaker as Sonja placed the phone on her dressing table.
“He said one, so I have to hurry. He’s always so punctual.” She began smoothing moisturizer on her face.
“Must be a British thing. Charlie couldn’t be on time if the house were on fire.” Kim sighed. “Where are you going today?”
“He said to dress for an outdoor adventure and to wear comfortable shoes, but he wouldn’t tell me where we’re going. There’re so many hiking trails around here that it could be anything.” Sonja inspected her nails as she waited for the moisturizer to soak into her face.
“When’s Randall coming home? Aren’t you worried that he’ll find out about your English suitor, Mr. Wonderful?” Kim giggled.
“He’ll be back on Friday, so I’m not worried. Besides, he’ll have to make nice with Charlotte before he sees me.” Satisfied that she could get by without a touch-up, she dropped her hands and began applying color to her eyelids.
“I know how that is. Charlie used to come straight to me, but now he always placates his wife first. Doesn’t matter to me, as long as he pays the bills.” Kim laughed.
“I hear that.” Sonja’s laugh was like a child’s; high-pitched and free. “If I play my cards right with Oscar, I’ll be the one in the big house.”
“Oscar. Who names their child Oscar?” Kim asked.
“Old money, baby, that’s who. It’s a family name, handed down for generations to the first-born son. Along with all of that lovely green stuff. Or gold. Or whatever.” Sonja applied her face like a pro; within minutes she stared back at the improved version in the dressing mirror. “He makes me feel like a princess. I really do like him so much,” she confided.
“You’re so lucky. Finding a young, rich, gorgeous man who isn’t already taken, or gay, is such a coup. When do I get to meet him and does he have any friends?”
“I know, right? It’s such a pleasure to be with someone close to my own age; no little blue pills for Oscar!” Sonja’s laugh rang through the phone line, sounding more genuine than she felt. Truth was, Oscar had not made a move towards the bedroom, but she couldn’t tell Kim that. His steamy kisses told her how attractive he found her, but that was the extent of their physical relationship. Perhaps today would be the day he took it to the next level. “Sorry, babe, I’ve gotta bolt. He’ll be here any minute and I need to get dressed.”
“Have a great time; call me tomorrow!” Kim enthused.
“Thanks, I will. Say hi to Charlie for me. Remember, you can’t say a word to him, or anyone, about Oscar. I can’t risk Randall hearing about us before I’m ready to tell him.”
“Don’t worry;
