Lawful Lover (Eternal Bachelors Club #2) Read Free

“Daniel? When we leave this bathroom… people are going to know what we were doing, aren’t they?”
    Daniel wrapped his arms around her. “So? Personally, I want people to know you’re mine.”
    How could she argue with that? Still, even though she’d just joined the mile-high-club, she didn’t want to announce it to everybody. “Daniel… ”
    He chuckled, but his eyes shone with understanding. “Okay, if it makes you feel better, you can go out first and I’ll come out a few minutes after you.”
    “Thank you.”
    She opened the door a sliver and peered outside.
    Sabrina took her seat without any of the first class passengers looking at her. But her heart continued to beat excitedly: she was flying to New York to move in with Daniel.
    To start a new life.
    An adventure lay before her, and she couldn’t wait to find out how their life together would unfold.

    “Here we are,” Daniel announced as he fumbled for his key. He slipped it into the keyhole, unlocked the door, and swung it open.
    “Ladies first,” he said, extending his arm.
    He was excited about bringing Sabrina to his home. Asking her to live with him was something that hadn’t required any major decision making on his side: he’d simply known that it was what he wanted, Sabrina living with him, and to wake up by her side every morning.
    Odd, how this decision had been one of the easiest he’d ever made, when before that, a girlfriend leaving more than a toothbrush at his place had practically made him hyperventilate. Whereas with Sabrina he couldn’t wait for her to place her toothbrush next to his and spread her various shampoos and lotions in his bathroom. Her lingerie would rest in a drawer next to his boxer briefs, and her dresses would hang on the same rail as his suits. He’d never thought that he would ever look forward to something so mundane.
    Before he’d met her, his life had revolved around his work. Within two weeks, his life had changed drastically and now it revolved around her. Nothing else was more important to him than Sabrina.
    Sabrina walked into his apartment, pulling her suitcase behind her. Suddenly, she stopped. “Wow.”
    Her head moved to the left, then the right, and then she turned in a complete circle, taking in everything around her.
    He smiled, pleased at her reaction. “Do you like it?”
    Daniel closed the door behind them and stopped beside her. The look on her face was all the answer he really needed. Somehow he’d been worried that Sabrina wouldn’t like his place, that she might find it too ostentatious. She wasn’t like other women he’d dated. Money and possessions didn’t impress or sway Sabrina. She preferred the simpler things. His place was anything but simple.
    “It’s huge.”
    Yes, it was. His apartment was large compared to other apartments in New York City, and the largest in the building. He liked having lots of space. It made him feel free. He’d spent a lot of time finding this place, but when he finally had, he’d immediately known that he’d never give it up.
    “Come, I’ll give you the grand tour of your new home.”
    Sabrina lifted her eyes to meet his, affection shining from them. “Our,” she corrected him, her voice as soft as the trickle of a mountain creek.
    He laced his fingers with hers. “Yes, our.” He pressed a soft kiss on her lips, then tugged on her hand. “This is the living and dining room.” He pointed to the large room with the floor-to-ceiling windows that boasted a stunning view over Central Park.
    “The view is amazing!” Sabrina exclaimed as she walked closer to the windows. “And there’s so much light.”
    “We’re facing East, so we’ll get the sun in this room in the morning.” He pointed to the dining table. “I normally eat my breakfast in the kitchen, but now that you’re here, I think it’ll be nice to use the dining table and enjoy the morning sun.”
    She smiled and squeezed him. “I’d like that.” She pointed
