She took a sip. “That sounds amazing.”

“Let’s have breakfast and talk about you and me.” Luke took her free hand, came around the counter, and led her back past the dining room, through the living room, and out to the back patio where the table had been set for two.

The chef followed them out with their plates and set them in front of them as they sat. “Enjoy.” He disappeared back into the house.

Luke dug into his food, starving after their night together.

She stared at him, getting his attention. “This was really nice of you to do.”

“I knew you’d be tired after the festivities last night. Plus the long day you put in handling business and the press.”

She appreciated so much that he understood the hard work she put in to do her job well.

She didn’t know how to start this talk about the rest of their lives, so she asked Luke the simple question, “So, Luke, what do you want?”

He held her gaze. “I thought I made it clear exactly what I want.” He leaned forward and put his hand over hers. “But if you need to hear it again today, tomorrow, every day for the rest of our lives, then I’m happy to remind you. I love you. I want a life with you and our children. And right now, I don’t care if that’s on the ranch, here at your place, or on the moon. I just want us to be together.”

“I’m supposed to travel all over the world for the next two weeks installing my security program at all the Griffin Worldwide Financial sites,” she reminded him.

“I know. I’m going with you.”

Surprise and shock shot through her. “What? You can’t do that.”

He raised a brow. “Why not?”

She really wanted him to go with her, but didn’t want to take him away from his life. “What about your ranch?”

“Thirteen people work there, sweetheart. That’s how I’m able to spend three days in the office out here. That’s why I can go with you on this trip and pamper you and show you just how much I love you. My dad can cover my legal cases. I think it will be good for us to spend some quality time together. Which is why I’m already packed.”

The suitcase in their room.

“Abby has everything you need packed and ready to go. We’ll spend a couple days here with the boys, then we’ll go on our trip. Your dad and stepmom can’t wait to have their grandchildren all to themselves, especially after all these weeks apart.”

While Sarah had been saying goodbye to attendees last night, he’d been speaking to her dad about this. “You and Lyon are getting along well.”

“Luckily, we align on everything. I even got his blessing to marry you.”

She smiled. Of course he did. Because he’d been clear for weeks about what he wanted. Her. “You haven’t asked me.”
