pull out my phone, swipe it open, and type.
Yes, ma’am.
WHEN I SHUT THE FRONT DOOR, AIR RUSHES OUT OF ME. FRANKIE STANDS AT
the stove, wineglass in hand, swaying to music playing from her phone. A slow,
sensual rhythm making the tiniest pair of pajama shorts flutter as she moves. A
tissue-thin top drapes off her shoulder and her hair’s piled on top of her head,
faint wisps of chocolate ribbons caressing her neck.

There’s the truth, strong and steady as my heart beating inside my chest.
I love you.
I always have. I’ve loved her since the moment I saw her. Somehow,
inexplicably, it’s true.
I kiss her again, tangling tongues, holding her hips against mine, showing her
how badly I need her. “Do you know how long I’ve wanted you?” I say against
her neck, dragging my tongue over her collarbone.
She sighs. “Me, too.” Her hands come to my tie, struggling with the knot. I
