Sinful Nights (58 page)

‘I do … but you might not …’
‘Is that what you really think?’ he asked thickly. Bending down, he scooped her up into his arms, duvet and all.

At the top of the stairs Jay paused and, looking down into her glowing face, asked softly, ‘Which room, madam, yours or mine?’
‘How about ours?’ Claire suggested.
‘Ours. Mmm. I think I like the idea of that—we’ll buy ourselves a new bed, I think, and it won’t be ten
feet wide! I want you as close to me as it’s possible to be from now on. Close to me in all the ways there are, Claire. I’ve been so lucky to find you …’
Fate had not been unkind to her after all, Claire acknowledged headily as he shouldered open his bedroom door and carried her over to the bed.
