When the kiss ended, he continued to hold her as he whispered in her ear,
"That's all I did, ma'am. I'm kind of hoping you'll handle it better than she
did."
As Mandi chuckled softly, Cade punctuated the whisper with another brushing
kiss on Mandi's cheek and grinningly asked, "Do I have to let you go now, or
could we stay like this a while?"
Looking up at him, Mandi asked, "You realize what time it is, don't you?"
"It's about ten to one, but we don't have to be anywhere until the con opens
tomorrow. Not even then, really, unless someone calls a briefing on a Saturday
morning."
"Are you willing to chance that on only a few hours of sleep? You've had a
long day, Ed, and as far as I know, I'll be here tomorrow night, too."
Cade cocked his head slightly as he looked at her.
"Ah, but what if you aren't here tomorrow night for some reason? Mandi, I've
been up too late a few times before and survived early briefings." He paused and
kissed her again before emphatically adding, "And tonight I'm with a superwoman
who may as well be a goddess. Hell, yes, I'll take a chance like that! Want some
help in the shower? Not to brag, of course, but I'm considered something of a
lay expert in matters of gynocentric eudemonics.
