scare you off.  I care a lot about you, Lexi.”  Seth’s head hung down as he mindlessly pushed a meatball around on his plate.
     
    “Seth, I don’t want you to be any different with me.  I just want you to be who you are and enjoy the pleasure we bring each other.  There is something between us that I can’t explain.  But, I don’t think you can scare me off.”
     
    “Lexi, where did you come from?  You are like an angel to me.”
     
    “Ah, I will have to get one of those sexy angel outfits then.”   Lexi giggled.  The wine was loosening her tongue.
     
    “I wish I didn’t have to work tomorrow.  I’d ravish you the rest of the night.”
     
    Lexi felt a stab of disappointment.  They’d been in her room for hours and it was well after one in the morning.
     
    “Will you stay the night?”
     
    “Only if you promise to let me hold you all night long.”
     
    “Well…I guess I can do that.”  Lexi giggled as she passed by Seth and he pinched her ass.
     
    After cleaning up their dinner, they headed to bed, both too exhausted to do more than get naked and snuggle.
     
    “Goodnight, Seth.”
     
    “Goodnight, my sweet Lexi.”
     
    Spooned against one another, the couple drifted off quickly in to a deep sleep.
    ****
    Lexi woke Monday morning to the sun blaring in her face.  She glanced up at her clock to see it was nearly ten in the morning.  Smiling she rolled over to Seth, only to find he was gone.  He left her a note:
     
    Lexi,
     
    I had the most amazing, wonderful weekend with you.  To make it even better, I woke up to your beautiful face.  I am sorry I couldn’t stay, but work needs me.  Sometimes being the boss sucks!     I can’t wait to spend time with you again.  Maybe we can go out to dinner or drive to the city and catch a movie.  I’ve got lots of naughty plans for you, my sweet.  But, I want to spend time with you in any way you’ll have me.  Call or text me when you get up.  XOXO
     
    Love,
    Seth
     
    Lexi’s breath hitched in her throat.  Did he love her or was it simply just a casual reference?  She la y back, re-reading his note over and over.  She felt like she had stepped in to heaven.  Who knew she’d find such a man in a sleepy little town in the middle of nowhere, Tennessee?
     
    Lexi got up and her whole body protested.  She couldn’t imagine Seth working on cars if he was as exhausted and sore as she was. She giggled again, feeling like a teenager.  She turned on her computer and went through her typical Monday morning routine, albeit two hours later than normal.  She sent off an email to her boss and then ate her breakfast.  She sent a short text to Seth, but he didn’t reply.
     
    As she went through her day, writing up a few article ideas for Mr. Pearson, she wondered about what Seth was doing.  After finishing her tasks for the day, she decided to go over to Seth’s to wait for him to come home.  It was beautiful outside, and she decided she’d wait on his porch.  She had yet to visit his home and looked forward to surprising him there.
     
    Following the long dirt road, Lexi walked over to Seth’s large farmhouse.  It was an absolute masterpiece.  It was three levels high with a wide wrap around porch.  There were beautiful flowering bushes all around the front and sides, barely concealing lattice under the porch. 
     
    Lexi stood in the middle of the road, shading her eyes to take in the beautiful historic farmhouse.  Voices caught her attention and she glanced over towards the back of the house. A young woman was swinging a blond-haired little girl on a tire swing.  They looked so happy as they chatted together.  Lexi’s stomach dropped as she watched them.
     
    He’s fucking married with a kid?
     
    Lexi felt bile rise up in her throat.  She tucked behind a large sycamore tree and watched the two playing in the yard.  The sound of tires on the dirt road made Lexi duck down.  It was Seth.  He climbed out of his
