Chapter 27: Car Troubles

---------- Samantha’s Dream

“Are you still working?” Samantha’s voice called out to Richard from the archway of the living room.

He had been spending more and more time at her own apartment instead of his own, and if Samantha was honest with herself, she could not bring herself to mind it in the least bit. The company of someone else—never mind that of an extremely attractive man—was not something she was going to complain about any time soon.

Samantha smiled at Richard as he lifted his gaze from his laptop screen for a moment and looked at her. She watched as his eyes roamed over her body, which was clad in only his black button-up shirt, and reached out to her with his hand.

She took it gently and ran both of her hands up his large forearm and up his shoulders. She placed a gentle kiss on his cheek. As he refocused on his work, she pouted.
