A Majestic Affair
Page 24
With a quick peck to her brow, Jayce said, "I'm thankful for Tiara, returning to my life and giving me her love."
Patting the arms around her, Tiara said, "I am thankful that Jayce had the patience to wait for me to realize how much I love her, and showing me my place has always been in Silver Waters." She gazed up at Jayce, the sparkle of excitement bright in her eyes. "Go ahead, honey."
A joyous grin spread across Jayce's face, as she glanced one at a time at everyone present. "And we are grateful to share with family and friends..." Jayce paused, rubbed her hands gently across Tiara's stomach, as everyone leaned toward them expectantly. "Tiara and I, we're having a baby."
"Hot, damn," Slim hollered, jumping up so fast, he knocked his chair over. He rushed to Tiara and Jayce, locking them in a tight embrace. "I'm gonna be a granddaddy. Yee-haw!"
AFTER THE WELL wishes, the football game, dessert, and one final cleaning everyone had gone to their respective homes, leaving an exhausted Tiara and Jayce behind. Tiara wrapped her arms around Jayce, kissing her quickly, and laying her head against Jayce's chest. "I had a great time, but I'm just as glad it's over."
"Me, too. Come on," Jayce said, taking her hand, they walked up to the master bedroom and prepared for bed. Once settled, with the light turned off, Jayce turned to her, snuggling close. "I love you."
Tiara loved the husky tones, the affection staring back from those remarkable eyes, when Jayce spoke the words. "And I love you, forever."
"I hope so, because I shall never release you, Red."
"You don't want to deal with child support?" Tiara teased.
Jayce smirked, before pinching her areola. "Not funny, please don't tease about that."
"Ouch." Tiara didn't know why she'd pushed, other than sometimes she needed reassurance that her new life wasn't a dream. "I'm sorry, honey. That was uncalled for."
"You're forgiven. Now, we have further things to be thankful for."
"Yeah?"
Jayce's tongue snaked out and slowly caressed her lips. Tiara's gaze latched on to Jayce's breast, a taut nipple straining against the material covering her. The heat in Tiara's body quickened, and finally she couldn't stand the delay any longer. She needed Jayce, and knew with all her heart, the feelings were returned. "I'll love you forever."

Tears Don't Become Me
GW (Georgia Wilhelmina) DIAMOND, Private Investigator, dealt in missing children cases--only. It didn't alter her own traumatic childhood experience, but she could try to keep other children from the same horrors. She'd left her past and her name behind her. Or so she thought. This case was putting her in contact with people she had managed to keep a distant and barely civil relationship with for fifteen years. Now the buried past was returning to haunt her. When Sheriff Matthews of Elk Grove, Missouri, asked her to take a case involving a teenaged runaway girl, she believed it would be no different from any other. Until Matthews explained she had to take a cop as partner or no deal. A cop who just happened to be the missing girl's aunt...
ERIN DUNBAR, received the call concerning her niece from an old partner, Frank Matthews. It should have been from her sister, but their estrangement, compounded by her having moved to Detroit, kept that from happening. Now she would have to work with a PI. One had nearly killed her and Frank years ago; she expected this one would be no different. Matters were only made worse by discovering it was a "she" PI--a Looney-tune one who gave new and literal meaning to: "Hands Off." For the sake of her niece, Erin would put up with just about anything, until...
GW seemed to be strangely affected by this case and Erin, to her chagrin and amazement, was strangely affected by her. If Erin could solve GW's past, give her hope, could they have a hope of finding her niece?
