Lawful Lover (Eternal Bachelors Club #2) Read Online Free PDF

for something to wear. He sighed. In his business, he traveled a lot, often staying away for weeks at a time. He knew firsthand what it was like to be in a new city and not know anyone. Sabrina had given up everything to move to New York with him and what had he done in return? The same thing he’d done with every girlfriend he’d ever had: he’d neglected her by spending more time at the office than with her. It was something he’d promised himself he wouldn’t do again, not with her. He wouldn’t make the same mistakes twice. Sabrina deserved better.
    He stood and walked up behind her. Wrapping his arms around her stomach and resting his chin on her shoulder, he said, “I’m sorry.”
    Sabrina turned in his arms and faced him. “I miss you, Daniel. I miss us.”
    “So do I.” He pulled her closer and pressed a soft kiss on her lips. “Just a couple more weeks, Sabrina, and then this deal will be finished and I’ll—”
    “A couple more weeks?” She attempted to wiggle out of his arms, but he held her firm.
    “Sabrina.” Finally, she stopped struggling to get away from him. “I’m sorry I’m not here more. But please, I need you to understand how important this deal is.”
    “I do understand. Really. But I thought I was important to you, too.”
    He closed his eyes for a brief moment. “You are. Don’t ever think otherwise.”
    “Couldn’t you just take one day off and spend it with me? You worked all weekend. Aren’t you tired of work sometimes?” Her eyes pleaded with him.
    Daniel drew a deep breath and exhaled slowly. She was right. He worked too much. Maybe this was just what he needed: a day with her, a day away from the office.
    “Good. I’ll take today off.”
    She threw her arms around him and squealed with delight. “Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!” She kissed him. “This will be so great! I can’t wait to see the city with you instead of on my own!”
    His lips curved up into a smile. “You want me to take you sightseeing?”
    “Yes.” She laughed. “What’s wrong with that?”
    “Nothing.” He shook his head, the smile never leaving his face.
    New York was a fantastic city and there was a lot to see, but he’d lived here most of his life so he took most of it for granted. “I have to call the office and let them know I won’t be in today.”
    Sabrina beamed at him.
    Daniel laughed. This feeling right now, the feeling of sheer joy and all-consuming love, knowing that he could make her happy simply by agreeing to spend time with her was like an aphrodisiac. It was better than any drug on the street.
    He’d known immediately that Sabrina wasn’t like any of his other girlfriends, and she’d once again proven it. She wasn’t making unreasonable demands on him. He loved her for it and wondered if he’d ever be able to find enough words to tell her. A simple “I love you” didn’t come close to expressing how he truly felt about the woman in his arms.
    “Okay, I’m going to shower and get dressed while you call the office,” she said.
    He pulled her tight to his body. His hands slid down her back and palmed her backside, grabbing it and yanking her against him.
    “Make it fast, before I drag you back to bed.”
    Then he slapped her ass playfully and allowed her to peel herself out of his embrace. Soon enough, he’d whisk her away to someplace private, someplace where the only option was to stay in bed and make love all day.
    While Sabrina showered, he quickly changed out of his suit and into something more comfortable: jeans and a polo shirt. Then he went into the kitchen and placed a call to his office. His schedule today, like most days, was full, and on top of it he was constantly putting out one fire after another. Every time he thought things were running smoothly, something else would come up. He’d be glad when this deal was finalized.
    “Daniel Sinclair’s office. How may I help you?” Frances, his executive assistant answered after the second
