“They may get in touch,” he said.
So far, they hadn’t, and she didn’t mind. “I’m not too worried. They’d probably tell me to stop, or say I was embarrassing you.”
“You don’t embarrass me, Addie. I’m proud. I’m going to come over later.”
“Okay. I’ll cook.”
“You order takeout while I’m with you. I’ll know you don’t like me.”
He pouted, and she couldn’t help but laugh at how childlike he looked. “That’s kind of cute. Maybe you should do that for all of our business meetings.”
She grabbed her coat, and bag. Staring back at him, she didn’t actually know what to do.
“Kiss me,” he said.
Stepping up close to him, she stared at his chest. “Do you think this will ever stop?”
“What?”
“This nervousness? I don’t know what to do when I’m with you.”
He gripped the back of her neck, and tugged her close.
“Be yourself. Touch me, Addie.”
“That’s not being myself.”
“Then touch me, touch your husband. I’m yours, just like you’re mine.”
She placed her hand on his chest. “This is the strangest thing in the world.”
“We were married before we knew anything about each other. We’ll adapt, and in time, touching me will be natural to you.”
Addison went onto her toes, and pressed her lips to his. “I’ll see you later tonight.”
“You will.”
She left his office, and she felt happier for it.
When she got back to her apartment, she found Darla already set up in her apartment.
“How was the trip to the hubby?” Darla asked.
“I don’t know. I think it was good.”
“I’d say with the way your cheeks are, it was very good.”
Putting on the apron, Addison got the ingredients out, and when she was at the fridge, she touched her lips. Yes, it had been a very good trip to see her husband. That kiss, it had been wow, more than she’d ever imagined.
All other kisses faded into the background.
It made her wonder what else she’d missed out on.

The day had gone by so slowly since Addie had visited him, and Shaun was ready for the day to end. At five-thirty, he was done, his computer was turned off, and he was waiting for Bruce to finish up.
He wasn’t going to have Bruce working while he was long gone. Bruce had a family, a wife and a couple of kids.
