Cade felt Mandi's presence in his room as he passed it, ambling along until
he reached Beth's door, which he shouldered open on his way into the tiny
hallway beyond.
Closing the door, he tapped on it as he'd said he would and Beth answered,
"In here, Ed."
He found her sitting in the chair by the desk, flipping channels until she
found an old movie. She turned the sound up a bit and turned to face him.
"Your white wine, milady," he said as he set the bottles on the desk and
opened one for her. "I'll get you a glass."
Putting a hand on his arm, she said, "No. Don't bother," and stood up. After
kissing him soundly, she turned around and said, "Unzip me, please."
He did so, then helped her slither out of her dress. As she went to hang it
up, he opened a beer and leaned on the desk to watch her. Eyeing her tall form
from the ankles up, his eyes met hers and she smiled. Nice. Very nice, indeed.
"Cade," said Beth with a short laugh, "You look like a kid on Christmas
morning."
"That's because you look like an unwrapped present." Going to her, he took
Beth in his arms and said, "In fact, you look delicious.
