He almost didn?t want to hear her reply, but when he saw her expression soften and her eyes glisten, hope got a hold of him.
She gave a sigh of relief, and her shoulders lost some of their tension. ?It all falls into place now.? She shook her head. ?Warren, I am not on the rebound. I was speaking to him on the phone because he asked me to give it another go and I told him no, that I?ve fallen for someone else and that man is the one I want to be with you, you are the one I want to be with.?
He stared at her silently, unable to process that information for the longest moment.
Anya reached up and linked her hands around his neck. ?I think we both listen to the idle chatter in the office a bit too much. I think maybe we?d be better off talking to each other, instead.?
He smiled. ?You think??
She nodded.
Why did he feel like an idiot? ?Wait, does that mean you didn?t want a threesome??
?I did, and I enjoyed living out the fantasy, but what I want most of all in this world is time with you. Perhaps I shouldn?t say this, but it was because of the way I had started to feel about you that I had to make the break with Andrew.?
At first, he couldn?t quite take it in. But she looked so sincere, and she locked eyes with him, pushing her point home. His hands went to her hips, drawing her in against him. ?I had no idea. If I?d known, boy, I?d have been there weeks ago.?
Her expression broke into a smile, but her eyes glistened. ?Warren, I?m crazy about you. Rebound was never an issue here.?
?God, that sounds so good, good like you wouldn?t believe.? He closed on her, cupping her face. ?The threesome was hot because I love to see you.?
?It was a hell off a way to kick of a relationship.? Her eyes twinkled. ?We?ll always have Norfolk.?
?We will. I love watching you when you are aroused. In fact I decided a video camera might be the answer to that one. When you move in with me, a good video cam is a must, and Joe isn?t included on the invite.?
Her eyebrows shot up. ?When I move in with you??
?You will, won?t you??
?I?ll think about it.?
?Think about it quickly, please.?
?Just me, not me and Joe?? Her eyes twinkled.
?Just you,? he reiterated.
?Poor Joe,? she teased.
?Poor Joe nothing, he?s had a taste of a good woman, he knows what to look for now and he can go find his own.?
?He could visit occasionally.? She winked.
She was going to keep him on his toes, he could tell that. ?Oh, so you did like it.?
?It was an experience I?ll never forget, for which I thank you. And now that I understand why you did it, it means even more to me. Thank you, Warren.? She stared at him, and then she chuckled. ?Video camera, huh??
?You object??
?No, I?m intrigued.?
?Good. I always thought you were secretly kinky.?
?And there was me blaming you.? She kissed him, lacing her fingers tighter behind his neck, capturing him to her.
?We understand each other a bit better now??
?Yes, we do, and with a little help from Joe, we got there.?
