Perfect for You

the time we'd waste being in public when we could be in private." She chortled at the comical waggle of his eyebrows. "Two. I love how you always manage to curl up and sleep practically on top of me at night, even though we have a king size bed."
    "It's your fault that you're so warm and cuddly."
    "Three, I am quite mad for your ankle bracelet." She shivered as he skimmed over it with his palm. "I'm delirious over the fact that any chocolate in this household is mine by default. I love how you radiate with fire and light. And I love that you're mine."
    "Hey." She struggled to sit up. "That's six reasons."
    "I had too much material to work with. It'd be impossible to make the list any shorter."
    She kissed him, a melting of their mouths that always made him want more. Lips glistening and swollen, Freya pulled back with a Mona Lisa smile and lifted her magazine again.
    "Wait a minute," Greg objected. She aimed her amber gaze at him. "Don't play coy with me."
    "Coy?" She batted her lashes.
    "Yeah. I'm waiting for you to tell me what you love most about me."
    She tapped a finger against her lips, as if in serious contemplation. Finally, she grinned. "Your fast car."
    She shrieked as he grabbed her and dragged her onto his lap. Twining his hand into her luxurious hair, he pulled her head back and took her mouth possessively, delighted that she gasped with the touch of his lips to hers.
    "My wife," he murmured.
    She cupped his face, love shining in her eyes. "Always."

 
About Kate
     
     
    When Kate was a little girl, all she dreamt about was moving to France and living in a stone castle while painting the Provencal countryside. To prep herself, she studied French, stocked up on berets in every color, and practiced her shrug for hours in front of the mirror.
    But then, because indentured servitude seemed more attractive than eating baguettes and drinking wine, she took a detour into the world of high tech. Mostly, she worked as a lackey for companies like C|NET and ClearStation/E*TRADE. In those years, she developed interactive online tutorials, designed training programs, and published education articles and product-training manuals. Eventually, that insanity wore off and she decided to try something more stable. Writing seemed the logical choice.
    Now she lives in San Francisco. Unfortunately Kate doesn't own her castle yet, but she holds out hope that one day soon she can pull her berets out of storage.
