“Complain, complain. We went to see his brother, the lawyer.”
She had Cassie’s full attention, now.
“Right. How did it go?”
“Great, Cassie. Great. Shep is such a gentleman. And I thought chivalry was dead. I think he is out of his time. He must be from the sixteenth century. I’ve never seen a man with such manners. And Eddie is so nice.”
“Eddie?”
“Yes. Shep’s brother’s name is Eddie. He was so easy to talk to. He looks a lot like Shep. He’s got that sexy silver at his temples. And he told me to call him Eddie.”
It sounded like Tammy had a crush on Eddie.
“I’m glad you like him. Can he help?”
“Oh, Cassie. We talked for hours. Well, it seemed like hours anyway. Shep said his brother would listen and he did. Gosh, they’re both so nice.”
“Okay, we’ve got the nice covered. Will he knock Steve on his ass?”
“I think so. Shep says he can. Not in the same words you used, but he did say Eddie was a good lawyer and he would not be intimidated by anyone. Eddie said he wouldn’t let Steve take my boys away from me. I’m so relieved.”
“Tammy, that’s wonderful.”
“I had to call. I had to let you know my good news. Now do you forgive me?”
“Absolutely. I’m happy for you. I hope Shep’s brother grinds Steve a new A-hole.”
“I know you’re a grizzly before your coffee, so I’ll let you go. Bye.” The line went dead.
In like a tornado and out like a light switch. Her friend was a hoot. Cassie couldn’t remember the last time Tammy sounded so happy.
Why had she waited until this morning to give the good news? Why hadn’t she called last night? She hadn’t even given Cassie a chance to tell her about Mike.
She’d taken a chance.
She’d told him she loved him.
She’d finally found someone who loved her, someone she could trust. Someone who made her believe in herself, restore her confidence as a woman.
Placing her feet on the floor, Cassie stretched her arms over her head, cracking her back, feeling like a new woman.

“Hey, babe.” Mike grabbed Cassie and poured his heart out in a kiss he’d been aching for all day. “God, you feel good.”
The best thing in his life filled his arms. How could he be so damn lucky to have the most amazing woman in the world? Cassie kissed him like a starving wolf seizing a piece of meat. Good God, the woman could drive him insane.
He inhaled her sweet fragrance. Not too sweet. More like fresh rain water and a hint of something alluring that was hers alone. His chest swelled with pride. She belonged to him. Every enchanting inch of her. He shoved one hand through her hair and cradled the back of her neck, holding her while he pillaged her mouth. He tangled his tongue with hers and reveled in her moan of delight. Each sensual caress was meant to entice her further, make her ache in the very place she rubbed against him.
His cock thickened. He kissed her possessively, greedily, like he’d never kissed her before. They broke apart, gasping.
“Do you have any idea how you make me feel?” he said in a heaving sigh. “You kiss me and squeeze me like I’m the only man on earth. Like you can’t get enough of me. God, Cassie. I love it when you do that. I love you.”
He hadn’t meant to pounce on her so quickly. But her touch, her taste, and he suddenly became a man driven. She returned his advances with equal measure and he couldn’t help himself.
He tongued the curve of her ear, while he pulled her shirt down, exposing her glorious breasts. She squirmed against him and he knew what she needed. He thumbed her nipple, then seized it in his mouth, sucking greedily. He loved the way she moaned and tugged his hair, urging him on. He explored further, his hand drifting over her ribs and belly, stroking, caressing, seeking.
He found her wet and ready for him.
