Wrapped In Pleasure - Brenda Jackson [137]
“So what do you think?”
She glanced around. The furniture and the decor were simply elegant. So much so that it nearly brought tears to her eyes. She could see herself spending her time here. “It is beautiful, Monty. Thank you.”
She leaned up to thank him but he pulled back. “Don’t thank me yet. There is more.”
She raised a brow. “More?”
He smiled. “Yes. Something that will be kept here at this villa for you to enjoy whenever you want.”
He then led her through the front portion of the house to the bedroom and stood back. Not knowing what to expect, she glanced at her husband bemusedly before surveying the room. And then she saw what he intended for her to see in front of the fireplace.
“Copper!”
She raced across the room to her puppy the moment he saw her. Dropping to her knees, she removed him from the crate and hugged him until she remembered he was so small and she couldn’t hug him so tight. Tears she couldn’t contain streamed down her face. She had missed him so and wondered how often she would see him. She and Monty had visited him once on their trip to the States and it had been hard telling him goodbye again.
Johari turned eyes to her husband as she placed her dog back in the crate. She stood when Rasheed crossed the room to join her. She wondered if he had any idea how happy she was at that moment.
“But how? Why?” she asked, looking up into his face with what she knew was love and deep appreciation shining in her eyes.
He held her by the waist and pulled her to him and, just before capturing her mouth with his, he leaned down and whispered, “Because, sweetheart, you are worth it.”
