one I love than not. And I
want that woman at any cost."
    He stared through her with those deep blue windows to his soul. It
was as if he thought that keeping his attention on her would help her
to calm the raging tide of anxiety that swirled within her.
    "Anything? You'll do anything?"
    "Anything."
    "Even sweep her off of her feet, chartering a private jet to
Paris?"
    "That is only the beginning."
    Kate's heart skipped a beat. She was not sure what to say next. Here
was the man she loved, confessing he was willing to do whatever it
took to have her. She knew that many women could not say they had
heard that from another.
    She knew she had to go along for the ride. Being in love had to be
worth something. It had to be worth the risk she was taking.
    *****
    Touching down in Paris sent a surge of exhilaration through Kate's
body. Just to know she was in the City of Love with the man she loved
was such a treat. Although there were many places she wanted to go
and sites she wanted to see, the first thing on her list was getting
to the hotel and taking a long hot bath so she could change clothes.
    The car service did not take them to a hotel like Kate expected.
Instead, they were taken to a private villa. The last time they were
there, Bruce had booked a quaint bed and breakfast. She was growing
accustomed to traveling with him and having all of the best that
money could offer.
    Rolling hills and the countryside were a picturesque backdrop. "This
is breathtaking, Bruce. How did you find this place?"
    He tried to appear nonchalant. "A friend of mine suggested we
use his villa for the vacation. I took him up on the offer. We could
always stay at a hotel in the city if you prefer that."
    "I appreciate the offer. But I think this will be perfect. A
little quiet will do me some good I think."
    Bruce nodded as the car pulled into the crescent driveway of the
villa. The landscaping was breathtaking and Kate could not wait to
see the inside.
    "We will have a chef and housekeeping daily, but otherwise, we
are on our own. I thought that would be a nice difference to the bed
and breakfast where there was staff swirling around all of the time."
    "Thank you for being so considerate." Kate linked her arm
in his as they went to the front door. Bruce used a key to open the
door.
    "I don't think the chef gets back until early in the morning for
breakfast, but there should be some food here in the refrigerator."
    "I'm not too hungry, but I know I could use a snack a little
later."
    Bruce brought in their bags and sat them at the front door. Flipping
a switch, the light gave way to an open space. The great room that
greeted them was beautifully decorated with contemporary furniture
that met an old world style.
    Kate could not help but stare at the decorative crown molding as well
as the gold trim that was infused. The kitchen reminded her of the
pictures of country houses, a large island with a wooden counter and
the pots hung above it on a rack.
    "This is so gorgeous. I can't wait to see the bedrooms."
Kate wandered off before Bruce could catch up with the bags in hand.
    "I think this room here is perfect." Kate flung the double
doors open and there was a room large enough to be a small apartment.
With a sitting area and an area where they could take their meals if
they wanted, Kate thought the space was perfect. A brass four post
bed furnished with a royal purple satin duvet, a flat screen
television, and an enormous cherry wood armoire were among the décor
in the room.
    "Bruce, this is absolutely fabulous. I can't believe this is
where we will be staying."
    "I hoped that you would enjoy it. I, myself did not know what to
expect, but I am impressed as well. Here, let's put our things away
and grab a bite to eat."
    "Why don't you check out what is in the kitchen while I shower
and change?"
    "Sounds good."
    Kate found the bathroom which was filled with luxury soaps and exotic
perfumes. A huge garden tub sat in the corner and she was completely
ready
