The charmer, p.24
The Charmer, page 24
The rest of the world disappeared as he looked down at his wife’s flat stomach, awe filling him from the bottom to the top. “When did you find out?”
“The doctor confirmed it this morning. I figured Eliza for a girl or Henry for a boy.”
She could pick the name Apple Rocket for all he cared; he was too damn excited to think names at the moment. However, that didn’t mean the artist in him didn’t immediately fixate on the possibilities. “I can’t wait to paint you in all your pregnant glory.”
Her eyes went wide, and she shook her head. “No way, the world has seen more than enough of me as it is.”
“Not me. I’ll never get enough of you on canvas, in my bed, by my side.” He dipped his head lower until his lips were nearly touching hers. “I love you, Felicia Hartigan Carlyle.”
“Never as much I love you,” she said as she melted into him. He’d just have to show her he loved her more later that evening.
He kissed her, not really caring if he ever successfully charmed her into posing for him again. He had something better than his muse on canvas. He had Felicia in his life. Forever. And it didn’t get better than that.

But when the free-spirited woman he hires turns out to negotiate like a pitbull and look like hot sunshine and lickable rainbows, he’s soon agreeing to things straight out of his comfort zone. Good thing she’s got a non-negotiable six-weeks-and-I’m-gone rule, or Sawyer may have just met this match…
