She said with adisapproving frown "Ok I have some work to do so I'll be in my officefor a few hours; why don't you make a start now," she said giving ...me aplayful pat on the bum and walking out.As I sat at the kitchen table looking at the wash bag with its partiallyspilled feminine contents, the only thing going through my mind was thatshe was calling it her office more and more. It was mine but I only usedit for job hunting now, where as Sadie was in and out of it all day now.She had even moved. After I finished, I lay back down and closed my eyes. I guess I drifted off for a while, the next thing I know, Lynn is asking if I want to join her in a dip in the surf.We walked down to the water and waded out.

I shivered and inhaled his pure, masculine scent. “You do?” I asked stupidly, turning my face to his.“I do.” he answered, bringing his other hand up to cup my face as he leaned forward even more to push his lips into mine. Our lips met, and he soon parted.
