with Saskia had made him realize that there was nothing worse
than being alone.
    He tried not to think about what they’d done earlier, when they’d been
stuck on the side of the road. Any more flashbacks and he’d be pulling over and
dragging her into the back to have his wicked way with her again.
    “Turn left up here,” she told him, head still on his shoulder.
    Her hand snaked across his thigh, resting there. Luke stayed dead still,
hand clenching on the wheel. She clearly had no idea what he was thinking
about, or maybe she did and wanted him to indulge his lusty imagination.
    Luke cleared his throat. If she moved her hand another inch she’d know exactly how dirty his thoughts were.
    “You’re going to come in, right?” Saskia asked him. “I’d love you to meet
my family. Tell me you don’t have to hurry back?”
    Luke hadn’t even thought about what he was going to do next. He had nowhere
to be, nothing planned until he joined his team again. He knew Saskia wouldn’t
be making the long drive back to JFK with him, not when she could fly direct
from here. She needed to take every spare minute with her son, he understood
that.  
    “Ah, sure,” he told her. But meeting her parents after what he’d done to
her less than five hours ago? Now that would be a first.
    “If I keep thanking you, you’re going to start rolling your eyes, right?”
    Luke dropped a kiss to the top of her head. “Seeing your little guy fly
into your arms is all the thanks I’ll need.”
    “So that settles it,” she said, straightening and pointing at a two-story
clapboard house. “You’re definitely coming in.”
    Luke swallowed and slowed the vehicle to a crawl. “Yes ma’am.”

CHAPTER EIGHT
    Saskia jumped from the vehicle, straightening her shoulders and shutting
the door. She took a deep breath, smiling at Luke as he joined her at the front
of the truck.
    He reached out to her and she let him, leaning in for a slow, toe-curling
kiss. Luke’s lips moved so slowly, so gently, that she was tempted to drop her
bag and wrap her arms around his neck, to force him closer, to make their kiss
more forceful. But she couldn’t, because she was just as desperate to get
inside.
    Saskia stepped back, hand lingering on Luke’s arm. She glanced over her
shoulder before taking his hand and leading him up the path. “I still can’t
believe you hijacked a Hummer for me,” she muttered.
    “I can.”
    Luke’s steady gaze and calm words made her hurry toward the door. This man,
her knight in shining armor, thrilled her one minute and downright terrified
her the next. Because something had happened between them, something had
sparked from the second she’d woken up on his shoulder on the plane. And it
scared the hell out of her.
    “Come on, it’s time to meet my folks.”
    She took a deep breath and tried the front door. She found it unlocked,
smiling when the knob turned under her hand. Saskia let Luke close it behind
them and walked slowly down the hall, wondering what she was going to see. How
her son would react. What she’d say…
    Jack. Her baby was sitting at the head of the table, head down,
her parents chatting on either side of him. And they had no idea she was even
here. Tears filled her eyes but she furiously blinked them away. This wasn’t a
time for crying. She was here. After all those weeks of excitement, then
all those hours of worrying, thinking she’d come all this way only to turn back
without seeing him, and she was here.
    “Surprise.” Saskia cleared her throat. Her voice had come out all quiet
and low, not obeying her.
    Jack looked up before her parents turned, and by then she couldn’t see
anything else anyway. Her eyes were locked on her son’s.
    “Mom?” he said, quietly at first, blinking like he wasn’t sure it was
actually her. “Mom!”
    When he said it the second time it was a high-pitched scream, his chair
knocked to the ground as he sprinted past the table and into her
