Travis sighed and drew her closer. "My sister once told me I'd never be able to make sense out of women," he muttered.
"Your sister was right." Alex said, sniffling against his shoulder. "When do I get to meet her?"
"Soon," Travis said. "Very soon. But first..." He kissed her, and rose above her. "It's rainin' out, darlin'." His voice was a teasing whisper. "And you said you always wanted to take a walk in the rain."
Alex drew his head down to hers. "Later."
And, in a tumble of silken sheets and soft sighs, Travis Baron and Alexandra Thorpe came together as if for the very first time, not only in passion but in love.
