eyes. “I mean, if you want to, of course. If not, I’ll
just make sure and come home to you when my work is done. I’ll play it any way
you want but I’d like us to be together for a while and test the waters.
Starting over is never easy and I know Scott’s death was hard on you but,
honey, being with you again made me realize that life is too short to turn your
back on something so real.”
Tenderness swamped her. She smiled. “Are you sure about
this, Ace? You want us to come with you? Although my job handling people’s
taxes is just a cooler-than-heck job, I think traveling the world sounds much
more interesting.”
“You’ve read my mind. We can live on the coast or here. As
long as I’m with you. Wanna take a chance with me, darlin’?”
She paused, loving the moment, loving him. She smiled and
reached out to drag her finger along his lip. “Yes. Oh yes, Ace. Welcome home,
honey.”
About Regina Carlysle
Regina Carlysle is an award-winning, multi-published author.
She likes writing that is hot, edgy and often humorous, and puts this trademark
stamp on all her stories. Regina lives in west Texas with her husband of 25
years and counting, and is a doting, fawning, over-indulgent mother to her two
kids. When she’s not penning steamy erotic tales or hot contemporary stories,
she’s indulging in long chats with friends who help her stay sane and keep her
laughing.
Regina welcomes comments from readers. You can find her
