Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

"Don't you dare, or I'll kidnap you and do... you know what. Wink, wink."

"Are you sure?" Shane's cold voice sounded.

Anne broke out in goosebumps and she almost screamed, "Charlotte, you've overlooked your friend after finding love. You allowed Shane to listen in on our conversation. How dare you?" She hung up immediately.

Annoyed, Charlotte looked at the person beside her. "How did you know what I was saying?"

"Just a presumption."

Charlotte rolled her eyes. In her opinion, his presumption was a superpower.

She didn't even put the phone on speaker. Shane figured out the gist of their conversation just from a "I wouldn't dare." He, too, puzzled out Anne's answer. He understood Anne quite well.

"I'm going to pick up Anne in three days. Could you please ask for the address from Braden? If I ask Anne, she wouldn't want to trouble me."

"Sure." Shane took out his phone and sent a text. The reply came quickly and Shane forwarded it to Charlotte.

Charlotte's eyes lit up with joy as she held her phone. "Let's surprise her."

"Us?"

Since when had he been part of her plan?

"You're not going? Then I'll ask someone else. Rick should be available. He's Anne's brother anyway." Charlotte said as she glanced in Shane's direction. "Charlotte, are you testing me?" He rolled over and pressed her under his body.

The intimacy of this position had an undercurrent of anticipation. Charlotte swallowed and continued, "If you're not going with me, can't I ask someone else?" "Did I say I wasn't going?"

"Then I didn't say I would ask others." She countered obstinately.

Shane kissed and stroked her. He wasn't going to let up on her after that affront.

The night's events left him feeling contented....

The next day.

Shane was already gone when Charlotte woke up. He left a note in the living room informing her that he was in a meeting at the office. She should manage breakfast on her own and he'd return with lunch. Tonight, he'd go over the details of the press conference with her.
