Patch
Foundation could create something magnificent out here without
worrying about expansion. She didn’t know she was crying until
Thomas wiped the tears from her face.
    “I hope these are happy tears.” Thomas had
seen Constantina in many moods, this was the first time he has seen
her so happy that she was at a loss for words. She has such a
generous heart and so easily wounded; he wanted to protect her from
the rest of the world.
    “This property is perfect Thomas.” She hugged
him before realizing the ramifications of her actions.
    When Connie tried to pull away from the
embrace, Thomas took advantage of the situation and kissed her. He
molded his body to hers hoping that she could feel his hardness
pushing against her. To his amazement, she kissed him back
deepening the kiss until their tongues were dueling with each
other.
    Connie was drowning in a sea of lust. Thomas
tasted like coffee and chocolate, two of her favorite things. Here,
she was in the middle of a field in the dead of winter kissing a
man who used and discarded women. She put some distance between
them losing her balance in the process. “That was getting out of
hand.”
    Thomas stepped closer to her brushing the
hair out of her eyes. “No Constantina I had everything under
control until you lost your nerve.”
    Connie knew red herring when she heard one,
and she refused to touch it. “I’m hungry. What do you say we go to
the Village Inn on Sorensen? You can tell me more about the
property and give me the paperwork, and I’ll take it to my
lawyer.”
    Thomas smiled, admiring Constantina’s
retreat. “One day you’ll give in Constantina, but for now I’ll
settle for lunch.”
    Connie watched him walk to his car feeling as
though she just dodged a bullet. Once this situation with the
property was resolved, she would keep out of Thomas’s way. She
liked him, and if she ever had sex with him, she would become his
slave.
    ***
    Connie loved the Village Inn’s breakfast menu
she ordered the two-egg breakfast with a soft drink. She studied
the contract Thomas gave her as he placed his order. By the time
she was through reviewing the contract, the waitress brought back
their food.
    Thomas looked at all the food on the table
and shook his head. “I don’t think we have enough room on the table
for all this food. You’re a little thing, but man you sure eat a
lot.”
    “What can I say I have a healthy appetite and
a high metabolism. It doesn’t hurt that I work out every day too.
Everything looks in order, but I’ll take the contract to my lawyer
to review before I sign on the dotted line.” She folded the
contract and put it in her purse. Then she prayed over her food
before eating, she just loved breakfast food.
    Constantina enjoyed her food; he just wished
she could feel that excited about him. She lost her head for a
moment back in that empty field, and he took advantage of the
situation. “That’s a smart decision, too many people jump into
situations without understanding every nuance. When they get burned
they want to blame the other party when they should have read the
fine print.”
    Connie felt as if Thomas were giving her a
hidden message. “What is in the fine print that I missed
Thomas?”
    “That’s just it Constantina, this deal is on
the up-and-up. I wanted to do something for you and the foundation.
You’re not the only one who’s interested in helping those less
fortunate. Since we’re on the subject; why do you act as the
spokesperson for the Cabbage Patch Foundation when you obviously
hate it?”
    “I don’t hate my association with the
foundation. Where did you get an idea like that?”
    “No honey you misunderstand what I’m saying.
I know more than most people of your devotion to the foundation and
the battles you fight on its behalf. You obviously hate dealing
with the public, so why don’t you hire PR rep.”
    “I thought I did a good job of hiding my
feelings. I love the work I do for the foundation, but
