“Damn! I put him in lockdown for a week.”

“Get creative. It’s a sexual emergency. Where could he go for the night?”

“An emergency? Sounds serious,” she chuckles.

“It is. I think it’s beginning to swell. It requires your immediate attention.”

The giggle proceeds her words.

“Let me think … I know! I’ll ask July and Wes to keep him overnight. They will follow my rules. No cell phone. That’s what I’m going to do.”

“It’s a date then. And where? Your place?”

“No. We need somewhere other than our homes, where there’s no chance of being interrupted.”

“I’ll make reservations at a hotel and pick you up at six. No, five. Is that too early for you?”

“No, Maxen. Let’s have as much time together as possible.”

“Great. Slow burns are overrated.”

Her laugh gets me grinning.

“And Dominique …”

“Yes?”

“I’m going to make love to every inch of you.”
