All she wanted right now was him. Unfortunately . . . “Margaret should be here any minute with the boys. However, after our talk, she’s taking them for pizza and a movie over at Bridget’s place. She suggested I have dinner with my sexy rancher and spend the night with him.”

Luke grinned. “You should take that advice.”

“I was hoping to just take you to bed before they got here.”

“Now, that’s an idea I can get behind.” Luke spun her around, wrapped his arms around her, pressed his chest to her back, and kissed her neck.

“You know we don’t have time.”

“I know. But I can’t help myself. I’ve never seen you all dressed up and looking like a corporate mogul. Those heels and this suit are really sexy.”

“It’s a St. James. She sent me a bunch of stuff from her upcoming collection.”

One of Luke’s hands skimmed down her thigh and his fingers brushed back up, pulling the skirt up her leg and sending a wave of heat through her. “Let me guess, you did some work for her.”

“I programmed her client database and inventory systems.”

“Well, I like you in the suit, but I’ll love you even better out of it.” His tongue slid up her neck in a tantalizing lick.

“You’ll find a matching set from her intimates line.”

“Please tell me it’s satin and lace.”

“Would I disappoint you?” she teased.

Luke took her hand and headed for the house, pulling her along after him. When she couldn’t keep up, he stopped, swung her up into his arms, and carried her.

“If you like the suit this much, I wonder how you’ll react when you see my dress for the benefit.”

“Maybe I should get a room at the hotel for us so I can see you in the dress and out of it.”

She nuzzled her nose in his neck and softly kissed him right behind his ear. “Then I’d be wearing nothing but the jewels I borrowed for the event.”

“Borrowed? Why didn’t you just buy them?”

“Because, well, I don’t know. There was so much to choose from I had a hard time making up my mind. I don’t own any jewelry, except a few pairs of earrings. The pieces I got for tomorrow are specifically to go with the dress Abby picked out.”

“I’ll just have to add something sparkly to your meager collection that you can wear on your left hand and never take off.”

She hugged him close as he walked up the porch steps. “I like the sound of that.”

They both turned to the driveway as Margaret and the boys arrived.

Luke set her on her feet. “Rain check, sweetheart.”

She pressed her hand to his chest. “We’ll have all night.”

Luke kissed her quick, then opened the front door, set her bag and the large box of flowers in the entryway, then turned to greet the boys.

Sarah held her arms out wide as the boys rushed up the steps and right into them. “I missed you guys.” She hugged them close.
