"No. Her nanny will be coming to stay with her while I am at work. She is my responsibility now."
"Richard…"
"Sssshhh…" he put a finger to my lips as his gaze dropped to my lips before flicking back up.
"Don't," I warned, already knowing where his mind was going.
His lips twitched. "Don't what?"
I narrowed my eyes. "Don't look at me like that."
"Like what?"
"Like you're about to fuck me on the balcony under the full moon where anyone who walks through the garden will get a good view."
He leaned in, just enough for me to feel his breath against my skin. "That's hot, isn't it? We have a lot to catch up on in a few short weeks."
My pulse spiked as he kissed my lips tenderly, once before pulling away. Why did he speak like we were short on time?
"I have missed you." I confessed.
"I'm right here, right now."
"The past few months has been torture, Richard."
"I know, baby," he murmured, his lips brushing the corner of my mouth. "I know it's been hell."
