table.
    “Thanks. I like to collect antiques. I don’t care what they are worth but it’s more about if I like them. I especially like pieces that tell a story.” He pulled the table away from the wall and pointed. “This has a carved inscription on the back: For my new bride, Marlis. I made this with my heart. I will love you always. ”
    Veronica frowned. “That’s sad. How could someone give this away?”
    “Maybe Marlis didn’t. Maybe she owned this table her whole life until the day she died. It waited for someone to find it and keep its story going.”
    She looked up through lowered lashes. “That’s sweet.”
    “I can own a club and still have a sentimental side. My life’s not all disco balls and dubstep beats.”
    A shiver passed through her and she rubbed her hands over the sleeves of her coat.
    “I know it’s cold. Here, follow me.” He led her down the hall to a large master bath. “Why don’t I run a hot bath for you? I’ll get a fire started and poor us drinks.”
    When she hesitated, Braylon stepped close and brushed her hair over her ear. “I think I’ve seen most every part of you, but I promise, if you want to relax in the tub and make it for one, I’ll honor your wishes. Give me your coat, and I’ll hang it up.”
    Veronica slid her orange wool coat off her shoulders and handed it to him. “Thanks. This is nice.”
    She followed him down the hall and into the master bath.
    “I don’t have anything to foo foo, but there are bath salts on the shelf over the tub my sister left here when she house sat for me the last time.” He turned on the water.

    Braylon took his time building a fire in both the living room and bedroom fireplaces. Anticipation of making love to Veronica again left his blood humming and his cock in a semi-state of arousal as it had been since noon.
    As he balanced the tray of drinks, he was happy to find the bathroom door propped open in invitation and he tapped it wider. “Mind if I come in?” he asked.
    Veronica crooked her finger to invite him in, and then she let one arm drop over the side of the claw foot tub.
    With her eyes closed, and her mouth curved in a slight grin, the beauty of her profile mesmerized Braylon. High cheekbones and lush lips. He took a step closer and swallowed. His gaze drifted down to her rosy breasts floating in the heated water.
    “Why don’t you come in and join me?” she asked, cracking open one eye.
    “I’m enjoying the view just fine from up here.” He handed her a drink.
    She took a sip and sighed. “Yum, what is this?”
    “It’s called Cinnamon Toast. It’s spiced rum and homemade cider from a local orchard just out of town.”
    “I think I have a new favorite drink.”
    Seeing her naked body just under the water’s surface Braylon grew erect with the thought of touching her. He set his mug down and squatted next to the tub. Swirling a hand through the water, he ran it up her thigh and touched the tip of her nipple.
    “Are you warming up?” he asked.
    Oh… yes,” she said in a seductive purr. “I was thinking I’ve soaked long enough and should be getting out. What do you think?” She opened her eyes and her gaze fixed on his. Veronica set her cup next to his and pushed herself out of the tub. Tiny rivers of water ran down her long, trim body. “Care to dry me off?”
    Dry mouthed he reached for a towel. Starting with her arms and breasts, he patted the water free. By the time he reached the damp curls between her legs his cock was throbbing.
    She stepped out of the tub and headed into the bedroom. Turning, she shot him a seductive smile. “Are you coming?”
    “Not yet, but I will be.” Braylon shot out of the chair, almost knocking over the table and drinks. He caught the edge of the tray at the last second, and righted it before it crashed to the floor.
    When he stopped beside her, Veronica slowly worked at the buttons of his shirt and opened them one by one to expose his chest. With a playful shove,
