Lessons From the Professor (14 page)

Sidney
felt the
tension rise in his body as time ticked by and Sutton and her mother remained
in the house. While he was sure Ida meant well, her meddling and flippant
attitude towards Sutton’s goals angered him. Sutton was an amazing woman.
Passionate, genuine and intelligent, she’d given him the boost he needed to put
his heart back on the line. The day she’d agreed to marry him was probably the
happiest moment of his life. He looked forward to a lifetime of happiness and
pleasure. He fought down a smirk as he thought about the other changes that had
taken place in their relationship.

They’d expanded their play and had fallen into a niche that
was comfortable and enjoyable for them both. His gaze locked with Sutton as she
emerged with a wooden bowl full of salad. She flashed him a smile, and he
relaxed. Whatever had been said inside had gone over well. He stood to pull out
her chair and wrapped an arm around her once they were seated.

“Are you okay?” he asked. His voice lowered as he whispered
into her ear.

“Better than okay.”

“Good.”
 
He tilted her
face up and placed a gentle kiss on her lips. “I love you.”

“And I love you.” He saw her smile as she glanced back at
her family. “You probably have another five minutes before my sister notices
the rock you put on my hand.”

“Then I better enjoy the blissful silence now.”
 

“She’s grown on you.”

“Like a fungus.”

“Sid!”

He chuckled when she
nudged him with
her elbow. Carissa let out a screech to his left.
 
It looked their secret was out. His life
would never be the quiet existence it was before, but life had a funny way of
giving you exactly what you needed. Life with his woman would never be boring,
and that was a part of the excitement.
 
Sidney
swore mentally. He
owed Leigh.
 
That debt repayment would
end up leading to an adventure in
itself
.
 
He smiled down at his beaming fiancée and
knew whatever Leigh demanded, it would be worth it.
