Harrison drags me against him, his hard body warm through our clothes. “You owe me one favor—“

“Keep it,” I interrupt, breathless. “This time, you’re doing me one.”

His eyes warm with love and desire, and he drags me up to his lips. My hands fall to his chest as he kisses me. In this moment, I have everything—a home, a family, someone I adore who loves me back, when I want him to and when I don’t.

“What will you even do in Vegas?” I pant, pulling away an inch.

He brushes his thumb across my lips. “It’s close to LA. I can run my business from there.”

“And La Mer?”

He shrugs. “I’ll put in an offer when it comes up. Leni would love to take it on and find the right person to run it.”

I shake my head, disbelieving. “I can’t believe this.”

“Worked out well for me too.” His quick grin is sexy as hell. “This way, you still owe me a favor.”

“There’s an expiry date on those.”

“No such thing.”

Harrison lifts me into his arms, and my legs go around him.

He tastes like sun and sand and man, and when he claims my mouth, my arms wind around his neck without permission.

I kiss him back, with relief and love and the kind of hope I never thought I’d feel.

Barney barks, and we reluctantly part. I frown, reaching for his collar. It matches the luggage.

“Barney’s coming?” I demand.

“Charter leaves tomorrow. If you’d rather avoid a man you hate, you can fly commercial.”

I grin. “How terrible.”

He kisses me again, pushing me back toward the bed, and we find a spot between the luggage. I kick at one of the bags, and there’s a loud bang as it crashes to the floor.

The espresso maker.

I look guiltily up at Harrison.

“Oh, you’re in trouble now,” he murmurs before his mouth descends.
