To: catherinewarner@levydevelopment.com From: elliotlevy@levydevelopment.com Catherine, Congratulations on the arrival of your daughter, Josephine. I was told by Raymond and Davida you were goddess-like when bringing her into the world, which I don’t doubt. I’m also not surprised you managed to give birth in an efficient amount of time. Ten hours of labor should be applauded. Not too long or too short. Good going. I’ve seen pictures of Josephine, and she’s as lovely as expected. Good going on that too. Please let me know if you need anything, and I’ll be happy to provide it. Yours, Elliot
To: catherinewarner@levydevelopment.com From: elliotlevy@levydevelopment.com Catherine, The album was entirely made up of “the emergence.” Is that not good? Don’t panic. I’m kidding. There were no shots below the waist, though there were plenty of you. I looked at those with only one eye, though, and barely saw them. Don’t worry. I was surprised by your quick reply (but should I have been? You are known for your efficiency). I hope you’re resting up and they’re taking care of you and Josephine. Just so you understand how vital you are to me as my assistant, I’m running ten minutes late for a

Ooooof oh god im so obsessed with this man already?! What is happening to me?! Im not made for grumply men but im here
“She seemed bored, so I took her out back to see the birds.” He patted her round middle. “If I measure her enjoyment by the amount of drool that dripped on my arm, she liked it very much.” A slightly hysterical laugh bubbled out of me. This was all so surreal. “My daughter drooled on you?” “She did.” “You don’t seem mad.” He lifted a shoulder. “I’m not a monster, Catherine. I knew the risks of holding a baby and picked her up anyway.” He jiggled her softly, and she settled even more in his arms.
My current plan is keeping her in my bottom drawer.” His brow winged. “No. That’ll never work.” My shoulders slumped. “Yeah, I know. I—” “Your bottom drawer is far too narrow. The rate she eats, she’ll outgrow it within a month.” I stared at him, blinking. To my utter surprise, he cocked a small grin. He was teasing me. Elliot Levy was teasing me. What in the freaking world? “Damn. Since the drawer’s out, I’ll have to come up with a Plan B,” I played along. “Maybe one of your drawers will do.”
There was a wall covered in crisp white shelves with rows of books on each of them. It wasn’t full, so I imagined which books I’d want to add if it were mine. Lots of romance. I was addicted to happy endings. And hot sex. Had to have that too. Was it really a happy ending without that?
The attention, though…that was nice.” Another nod, then he pushed to his feet and offered me a hand. I slipped mine in his, and he pulled me up faster than I expected, sending me colliding into his chest. Instead of moving back or steadying me, he wrapped me in an embrace. “Hug,” he softly demanded. “Okay.” I circled my arms around him, my stress from the last twenty-four hours slipping as his heart thumped under my cheek. And then, there was a light pressure on the top of my head that disappeared as quickly as it had come. I must have been mistaken, but I swore it felt like Elliot had kissed

He tapped my lips. “I’m not going to fuck you. I want you to lie down and let me make you come as many times as it takes to switch off your whirling dervish mind. Can you do that for me, sweetheart? Can you be a good girl for me and let me lick you?”
“Catherine Warner, my sweetheart, my love, I will love you with every single breath in this life, and when I go back to the earth with you, I will love you in every flower that blooms, every seed that brings fruit, each gust of wind, drop of rain, and snowflake that falls. Always, Catherine. Always.”
