“He wasn’t in here.” The words came out soft, whispering as to not wake anything that might contradict me.
“Who wasn’t in here?” Adonis stood in the doorway with three bags in his hands. “Your new orders, milady.”
I rushed to his arms, kissing his chest through his clothes. “When did you get clothes?”
“You can’t keep me naked forever.” He looked closely at my face. “Who hurt you?”
Angie put my phone on speaker. “Rick came by, found the blocks, and thought it was you, Adonis. He went after them with a chainsaw.”
“How did he get in?” my aunt asked.
“My delivery guy doesn’t know we split up. He had to have been the one to let him in.” I was so relieved I’d forgotten about the breaking and entering part.
“You thought I was dead?” Adonis bent over kissing me.
“Yes.”
“You mourned me.” Another kiss.
“It’s getting close in here. I’m hanging up and going home now,” Angie said to anyone still listening.
Adonis turned the lights off while I closed up. He waited for me at the bottom of the stairs with the bags.
“What’s in those?”
“You have a new client. Eros has decided all lonely women need a chocolate man of their own. So he’ll send you the chocolate and a bag of dust with an address. Put the dust on the statue, mail it overnight to the woman or man, and money will appear in your account.”
“How will I know what each woman wants?” In retrospect, it was a stupid question.
He took my hand, leading me upstairs. I made a promise to myself to thank him for coming into my life, often.

When he dumps her, just before Valentine’s Day, who does she complain to, as always, but her next door neighbor and friend, backup quarterback Max Sullivan. She sees Max as her best friend. Comfortable. Easy to be with.
Max doesn’t mind hanging out with Stacy but in the three years they’ve lived next door to each other he’s hoped for a lot more. Now he sees his opening. When he offers to put on a blitz leading up to Valentine’s Day to make the guy jealous, he has an ulterior motive. He wants to show her he’s the one she should pick, because he wants Stacy for himself. His campaign includes, chocolate, flowers, little gifts and hopefully, really hot sex. Because he’d been dying forever to get her into his bed and keep her there.
Will this work? He only has until Valentine’s Day to find out.
