Widow - Anne Stuart [105]
“Just while I’m having babies,” she said. “The rest of the time I can cook. You’ll have to marry me, though.”
“I like a woman who can cook,” he said thoughtfully.
“I’m a very good cook.”
“I like a woman who steals cars. Molly would have approved. Sometime I’ll tell you about her. She would have liked you.”
“Do I need to be jealous?”
“Not of Molly, love. Where did you leave the car?”
“It’s in the alley. I don’t ever want to drive that junker again,” she warned him.
“We won’t need it in Australia. We’re better off with a four-wheel drive. I like a woman who isn’t afraid to say what she wants.”
“I’m here,” she said. “And I want you.”
“Charlie,” he said, pulling her up against his body, ignoring the pain in his shoulder, “you’ve got me.”
And he bent down and kissed her, letting the computer disk drop in the trash.
