I stood up and turned to him. “I do.”
“How do you? Last time I was here, you had nothing but water and wine. Did you leave work today?”
“No. I had my maid do it for me.”
Austin grinned. “Let’s shower first and eat. I’m starving. You got my appetite going.”
“For food or sex?”
“Both.”
Chapter 8
We showered together, and Austin took me against the shower wall. After, I put on my robe while he walked around with a towel around his waist. It was time for him to bring some clothing here. I had put his clothes in the wash so he would have something clean to wear tomorrow.
When we got down to the kitchen, he yanked open one of the double doors to my stainless Subzero refrigerator and perused the shelves.
“Impressive. You even got bottles of Heineken. You’re not a beer drinker.”
“But you are, so I asked my maid to get them.”
He removed one and riffled in a couple of drawers before he found a bottle opener to take off the cap.
“What should we have for dinner? Looks like you got quite a bit of stuff here.”
“I had her get some cold cuts which I hardly ever eat and frozen pizzas.”
“Why don’t we make some pasta?”
“If you want that, you’ll need to do the cooking. I burn water.”
“I can teach you to cook. If you can read a recipe, you can cook.”
I shook my head. “I’m not very domestic.”
Austin laughed. “I’ll tame you. You’ll be a domestic goddess before you know it.”
I touched his hand. “We should go somewhere this weekend.”
“Where would you like to go?”
“See the sights, go to the beach, anything.”
“I’m not sure if it will be warm enough for the beach.”
“We don’t have to swim. We can walk the sand.”
He took a sip of his beer. “How about a drive up the coast. I could put the top down on the Audi and stop at a little roadside restaurant for lunch.”
“I like that idea.”
I helped Austin make dinner, spaghetti with marinara sauce. He did most of the work. I sipped a glass of red wine while we ate. I cleaned up the kitchen when we finished since he did most of the cooking. After, we went upstairs to my bedroom and got into bed naked. I was much more relaxed than the night before now that the meeting with Hassan was out of the way.
“I love you, Austin.”
He chuckled. “Now that it’s out, you’re going to keep saying it?”
“I just want you to know that I do.”
