“Hmm, I am hungry myself. Work can take care of itself today. Today is about you. Ms. You didn’t think I’d care about your new release. Look at me.” Her eyes are wide in surprise. I trace a finger over her cheek down to her soft lips. “Everything that has to do with you matters to me. Not just because my cock is inside you right now. It’s because you matter to me. Do you understand?” She blinks back the tears shining in her eyes and nods. “Good. Now go start the shower. I will be in in a minute, as hot as you can stand is as hot as I want it.”
With a last kiss to my cheek, she moves up and off me, running into the bathroom. I exhale in a shudder thinking of how close I came to saying it. No, it cannot be.

––––––––
I’m such a stupid girl. I blink back the tears that threaten to fall as I turn on the shower. Leo’s words are bouncing in my head like a ping-pong ball, this wasn’t just about fucking for him. It might have been when it started but not anymore. My entire body is trembling below the hot stream of water at what this means.
I’m not given long to think about it before Leo is under the water with me. His hands are gentle as they run over me taking a sponge and soaping it up with the yummy smelling bath gel. He takes his time and then he takes me up against the wall with the water running over us.
Out of the shower, we both tuck into the big fluffy robes. “Unless you want to get dressed and go downstairs to eat?”
I glow at his invitation. “I’d rather eat in the room. I like having you all to myself.”
“Hmm...I feel the same about you. What do you want?”
I’m so happy I feel like I’m going to burst with it. This afternoon isn’t a dream, it’s really happening. Leo is happy, smiling, and it’s beyond cruel he’s ten times sexier because of it. Those gorgeous eyes of his are finally free of anger and resentment. I can’t believe the way he looks at me, no shadows to hide behind, just raw desire for me. Everything feels different, his touch is softer even. “I’ll have the wood-fired oysters and the sole. I also want a big thing of Pellegrino.”
“Anything for dessert?”
