scream. She had a plan, and tonight she was acting on it. She boxed up two servings of dinner and dessert and headed over to the office.
    Without knocking she walked in and found Cage at his desk mumbling to himself.
    He looked up at her and smiled when he saw her.
    “Hey, darlin’, what are you doing here? Dinner over?”
    “No, the guys said they’d tidy up after dinner. I brought over a picnic. You and I are going to head to your house eat this fine meal, then we are going to bed. The same bed, this time,” she said, taking a deep breath. She was trying to be all casual and sexy but her bravado didn’t come across that clear. She knew she sounded a little more panicked and desperate. But she’d already thrown the gauntlet down, she just hoped Cage picked it up.
    “Is that so?” he said giving her a sexy grin. See, how did he manage to pull that off so easily she wondered.
    “Yes, that’s so. Cage Rochon, you have been teasing me all week and I can’t take it anymore. Seriously, I’m feeling a little crazy. My dreams are getting weirder and all I can think about is you naked,” she blurted out. Shoot, that was not what she had planned to say. Nice job Sophie, she thought.
    Cage sat at his desk, just staring at her. She felt her face turn red, she wanted to escape. Invent a time machine and go back and not tell Cage that she dreamed about him naked. Clearly that was not her most logical choice.
    Standing up and coming around the edge of the desk, Sophie watched Cage stalk towards her. When he reached her his hands cupped her face and he gave her a long wet kiss. His hands slid down to her shoulders and around to her back, ending on her ass. He gave her a hard pull and she felt the hardness in his pants.
    “I think about you naked all the time too Sophie Carlton, so we’re even,” he admitted kissing her again.
    Thank goodness for that, Sophie thought. Tipping her head back to look at him, she saw that yellow tinge around his eyes again that he got whenever they were getting hot and heavy. She liked it.
    “Are you sure you’re feeling better? We can wait, darlin’, we don’t have to rush anything. Neither of us is going anywhere. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been waiting a long time to meet you, but I also don’t want to rush you.”
    Laughing Sophie said, “I’m sure you didn’t lack for female company Cage.”
    Giving her a sad little smirk, he admitted, “You’d be surprised, honey, I’ve been alone for years. And I mean that, years. No dating, no girlfriends, no one.”
    “But why?” she asked, her brain struggling to figure out if she had missed some kind of blaring red flags on why this catch of a man was still single.
    “It’s hard to explain, and I will explain it, just not now. I’ve been waiting for you Sophie, the one I’m meant to be with. I know that sounds crazy and too soon. But I know what I want, what I need and that’s you.”
    Sophie was a bit addled at this declaration. They’d known each other a week and this man sounded like he was truly, what? In lust? In love? She wasn’t sure about her own feelings, all she knew is if she didn’t get into his pants soon, someone was going to pay.
    “This is so fast, Cage. I say that and I think we shouldn’t be this involved already. But I can’t stop how I feel about you,” she said looking up at him with confusion.
    “Trust me, honey, trust me that this is totally normal and it’s right for both of us. What we have doesn’t happen every day. It’s a miracle, whether you believe in those or not. I’ve waited years and years for this. If I need to I’ll wait a little longer to be with you.”
    “I do trust you, Cage. And I do want to be with you. I’m feeling one hundred percent better and I need you tonight. Need you like oxygen or really nice knives,” she said a little embarrassed. Realizing her needs in life might differ from normal people.
    Sighing and pulling her tighter into his arms, Cage stroked her back and
