he assumed to make a bed for the pathetic creature nestled in her ample bosom. How he envied it at that moment. He had found lying with her as a teenager to be an arousing experience, and now as a man he longed to take those supple breasts in his mouth and show her what a man knew of love. Instantly angry with himself for daring to believe such fantasies he stalked across the room, snatching his coffee from the table. 
    “ How’s he doing?” Cole asked clapping his hands together, obviously pleased with his own plan as he watched Dominic brood.
    “ He’s sleeping for now.”
    “ Thought of a name?” Dominic asked, slightly amused at the business-like way she handed the kitten. Perhaps his brother was correct. This may be just what she needed to distract her from fretting over everything and make the whole process easier on all of them.
    “ Milo I think.” She turned him so that they would see his face. His nose was spotted with brown smudges of colour against his ginger body. 
    “ I’ll show you to your room, and you can both get settled.” Dominic turned and assumed she was following as he made his way into the bedroom wing of the apartment.
    They came to a corridor , which opened to several rooms. One he showed her was where his brother stayed. The next was the guest bathroom. The following was the master suite.

    He led her through the room to a connecting bathroom that would have fit nicely in Louisa’s living room. A spa bath took up most of the grey marbled floor, and on the far side was a double shower with more shower heads than Louisa could count. Next to that was another door, which was open to reveal a guest room a little smaller than the master with a queen bed and beautiful crisp red sheets.
    “ It would look odd for us to sleep in separate rooms when we are supposed to be madly in love. This way we can have separate rooms and still save appearances. This door is always kept locked.” He gestured to the main door to the room and gave her a key to her room’s outer door.
    “ Both rooms were used by my parents when they lived here. My mother preferred her own room as my father snored, but they both used the main bedroom door to enter and exit.”
    Louisa understood now. This room was indeed designed after his late mother ’s style of clean lines and comfort. It would suit their needs well. The bathroom would be a problem, but Louisa was growing tired again, and she decided that it could wait until tomorrow.
    “ I will call for the doctor first thing in the morning,” Dominic said as he watched her move to the bed.
    “ Thank you,” she said as she settled Milo in his makeshift bed on the floor beside her. “I think I just need to rest for a few hours and I’ll be fine.”
    “ Yes, I imagine it has been a long few days for you. Good night, Louisa.”
    She mumbled good night to him as he closed the joining door casting her into the warm blackness of the room.  She padded slowly to the bed, a little light entering through a gap in the curtains. She changed her mind as she made it to the bed . The air was too thick, and silence wrapped around her allowing the thoughts she had been suppressing all day to swim to the surface. She couldn’t breathe, and her thoughts swirled through her head too fast to pick one to concentrate on. Her chest tightened, and her heart seemed to pump harder against her ribs. She ran to the window and pulled open the drapes stepping out onto a small balcony and sucking in the icy night air.
    How had this happened? Just days ago she was happy . She had just earned a big win for a client. Now, she was at risk of losing all she worked for, and she was marrying a man just to save the jobs of people who would never know what she was giving up for them. She kept thinking it wasn’t worth it, but she knew it was. Those people counted on her for their rent, for food and their lifeblood. She was just one person. In the scheme of things why should it matter if she signed
