island with me?”
    He turned and dropped another quick kiss on her lips. She glanced out the window wondering how close they were to the airport. She wouldn’t be able to sit this close to him on the plane, so she took advantage of their time alone. She wondered what the rooms would be like once they arrived. If it was a private island, would there be a hotel?
    “ We’re coming back Sunday, right?”
    He nodded. “We rented the island until Sunday evening. We’ll leave Bora Bora around six or seven on Sunday night.”
    “ Monday at work is going to be tough.”
    “ Maybe if you’re really nice and talk sweetly to your boss, he’ll give you Monday off.”
    She laughed. “Not my boss. He’s an ogre. He yells at me if I so much as sneeze in the office. The work conditions are terrible.”
    He seemed to consider that for a moment. “That’s awful. I know. Why don’t I take you away from all that? You can come and work for me as my personal companion.” He wiggled his eyebrows letting her know beyond a doubt what her duties would be.
    She blushed. “I think I’ll try and stick it out with the ogre, thank you.”
    He kissed the top of her head. “If you ever change your mind, just let me know.” He pointed out the window. “Steven lives just over that hill there.”
    “ Does that mean we’re almost to the airport?”
    “ Another fifteen minutes probably. Are you eager to get there?”
    She shrugged. “I’m excited to be on the island. You make it sound amazing. I hope I’m able to sleep on the plane and it doesn’t keep me up all night.”
    “ If it does, you can sleep all day tomorrow. Our meeting will be on Wednesday.”
    “ I’m going to enjoy getting to know Amber better.”
    He nodded. “Bailey’s going to be there as well.”
    “ Who’s Bailey?”
    He grinned. “Steven’s nanny.”
    “ Nanny? He’s got a kid?”
    He briefly explained how Bailey had shown up after the Super Bowl a week ago with a young baby in her arms claiming it was Steven’s. “He says the kid isn’t his, but he kept her anyway. He kept Bailey too. She’s Faith’s aunt.”
    “ If the baby isn’t his, why did he keep her?”
    “ He’s got a soft spot for kids. He always has. Her mom died in a car wreck and left his aunt to take care of her. Bailey had been told he was the baby’s father, and she believed it. He didn’t see any reason to disillusion Bailey. He’s got enough money to afford to keep the baby and pay the aunt to take care of her. Problem solved.”
    “ Wow. He sounds like a great guy.”
    “ He’s a geek. He has a hard time dealing with anyone in real life. He’s great in a chat room, though.” He looked down at her. “Don’t get any ideas now. You don’t want me to have to fight my friend for you, do you?”
    “ Why would you fight him?”
    He shrugged, making her head bob up and down. “Because I’m keeping you. He kept Bailey, and I’m keeping you.”
    She laughed. “You can’t just keep me. And he can’t just keep Bailey. You may be richer than God, but you don’t have the right to buy and sell women.”
    “ Probably not. I’m still keeping you.”
    The car stopped and she noticed they were parked at the airport. “I’m not going to argue about this now.”
    “ I don’t argue. I state facts, and you accept them.”
    “ Only in the office. Outside the office, you’re just another man.”
    He dipped his head and kissed her briefly. “Just another man who is going to keep you.”
    She rolled her eyes and followed him out of the car. Sometimes she wondered why she even bothered.
    The plane was amazing. She stood just inside the door looking around. Each seat was at least six inches from the one next to it. They all seemed to recline. There were only six seats total in the back of the plane and they were all made of leather. “Where should I sit?”
    He pointed to a seat up against the window. “Sit there.” He waited until she was seated and settled down beside her,
