you don’t feel it, then you don’t, and that’s just the way it is. We’ve barely known each other for weeks, and I quite understand if you’re not ready to make such a commitment. That’s fine really.”
     
    “Oh, please. Be quiet.” She pressed a hand to her forehead. “You can’t make a declaration like that and then just expect me to…accept it as if it isn’t a big deal.”
     
    He drank his wine. “It’s way too early. I understand. I am just worried about Ned. He is going to make trouble. Sure, I can handle whatever he directs at me, but I don’t know what he would do to you. The man is crazy.”
     
    “He is,” she said. Her heart thundered in her chest, as she recalled the memories of their short but sweet relationship. It wasn’t too long since she first met him, and now she felt as if life without him was totally alien. How had she lived and breathed when he wasn’t with her? It was impossible to envision her days without him now. “But you should be careful. He doesn’t let go that easily.”
     
    “I can handle anything he throws at me,” he said in a confident way.
     
    She was sure he could. There wasn’t much that deterred Marco. He was a force of nature, deadly and sure. “I bet you can.” She walked over to check on the chicken. It was ready, so she turned off the oven. The sauce was done, too. “Dinner is ready.”
     
    “Good. I’ll help you put it on the table.”
     
    She poured the sauce on the pasta and handed it to him. The salad was ready. She put the vinegar, olive oil, and salt on it and handed it over. After bringing the last dish, she set it on the table. Stacy glanced once at the food. It looked delicious, but she wasn’t ready to eat as yet. “So you’re really ok with the fact that I don’t feel the same way as you?”
     
    A strange emotion flitted across his eyes. Disappointment? Regret? She couldn’t be sure. “I am. And you will feel those emotions real soon, honey. I am not without considerable charms and when I turn on the magic, you won’t be able to resist this hunk.”
     
    She lifted her lips in a smile. It was too obvious that he was more than a little crushed at her lack of feelings. Well, she was about to make his day better. Stacy sauntered forward. She grabbed his collar and forced him to take a step forward. “In that case, there is no point telling you that I am already in love with you, right?”
     
    His expression was comical. “You…what?”
     
    “I love you, Marco. You’re slightly crazy, but I think I can put up with that, more so because I am a little bit crazy myself. Together, we’re a good fit, and the last few weeks that I have spent with you have been the happiest in my life.”
     
    “You love me?”
     
    “That’s what I am telling you, you silly man.”
     
    He crushed his lips on her. The scent of him, the touch of him, was heady, exotic. Her arms locked around his neck, as she deepened the kiss. His tongue twisted with hers. Sensations, raw, wild, and tumultuous, skipped through her veins. Every cell in her body vibrated with a need. The dinner was forgotten. The problems they faced ahead were forgotten. All she could feel and think about was the way he made her feel.
     
    When she stepped away, he smiled. “You had to make me whine for it?”
     
    “Hey, I just wanted to be sure you weren’t saying all that just for effect? But now I know that you really mean it.”
     
    “Of course, I meant it. I love you.”
     
    “And I love you more.” She kissed him lightly on the lips. “The way we started our love story, it’s just something so special.”
     
    “Oh yeah, that day in your ex-husband’s house was indeed special. I’ve got it etched in my memory. The sight of you as you slid down the clothes and stepped away from them. Your creamy, smooth skin…”
     
    “Oh, shut up. That’s not what I meant. I feel it’s really destiny that has brought us together. If it wasn’t for that day, we wouldn’t
