Chapter 101: Which Room?

Chapter 101: Which Room?VOLUME 3: RANSOMING REDEMPTIONMaggie Flynn smiled to herself as she watched the falling snow through the large bay window of the Red Lion Inn. "This is gonna be good," he'd said. While she waited at their table, Bobby had gone to check them in for their overnight stay.He planned ahead, made reservations. But he made sure I didn't feel pressured. Which of course I didn't. She rolled her eyes. I did a little planning ahead of my own. She sipped her wine and thought about her apartment sitting empty and ready with fresh sheets on the bed, and breakfast ingredients in the fridge. "All settled, cher," Bobby murmured, kissing her cheek before he returned to his seat on the opposite side of the table.A wave of cold air wafted over her as he moved past, and she saw a smattering of snowflakes glistening in his hair. "You had to go outside?""I got our bag out of the car," he smiled. "We're in no hurry. Matter of fact, I'd be glad to sit here and warm up f

Chapter 102: Strawberry Wine

Chapter 102: Strawberry WineEntering the room, her eyes were drawn to Bobby. He was standing at the dormer window looking out into the snowy night, his bare back to her, the pajama pants hanging low on his hips, grey silk clinging to the curve of his ass. Maggie took a few steps and stopped. She'd been intending to say something witty but the sight of him knocked the words right out of her mind.He turned at the sound of her feet on the wide plank floor and his eyes widened. "Galee, cher," he breathed, dragging his eyes from her toes and up her body until he met her eyes. "You take my breath away."She smiled and crossed the room to meet him, reaching two tentative fingers to touch a rock-hard ab. "Are you kidding me? Have you seen you?"Bobby gently lifted her chin and kissed her tenderly, willing himself to hold back, to move slowly. He felt the pulse pounding in his neck. And someplace lower. Leaning his forehead against hers, he cleared his throat softly. "How about a

Chapter 103: Heading Home

Chapter 103: Heading HomeThey lingered over a breakfast of pastries, fresh fruit, and coffee at the same table they'd shared the night before. Things felt infinitely different in the light of morning. Outside, five inches of fresh snow blanketed the garden. They ate quietly, stealing glances at one another, sharing private smiles. Their thoughts were of the night before.After making love that first time, they'd dozed, a tangle of arms and legs. Hours later, or minutes maybe, he couldn't tell, Bobby awoke from his half-sleep interrupting a dream about Maggie and couldn't resist reaching to touch her. She'd smiled sleepily and brushed the hair off his forehead, gently kissing him there, and they'd ended up using the other condom he'd brought, both climaxing hard before finally falling into a deep sleep.When he'd gotten up in the morning, he'd padded across the hall to the other room for a quick shower. Maggie had joined him, slipping in behind him and wrapping her arms around h

Chapter 104: Making Plans

Chapter 104: Making PlansBobby and Maggie were quiet on the elevator ride up to the twenty-first floor. When the doors slid open, he took her hand, and they walked down the hallway, stopping at his door. "Do you want to come in, cher?" he asked softly.Maggie shook her head. "You need to get ready for work," she replied. "I'll go check on Michael and head home. I'm a little tired, you know." She gave him an impish grin."Are you, now?" he smirked, touching his lips to her forehead. "I do have to be at work in an hour." He looked down at her. "I was thinking, this bag of girly things in here?" He held up the leather case. She smiled and nodded. "I thought maybe we could leave it here at my place. That way, on the off-chance you maybe ended up spending the night sometime…" he raised his eyebrows innocently, "you'd have what you needed."Maggie tried but failed to suppress a smile. "I think that sounds like a fabulous idea.""That settles it then," Bobby murmured, his eyes

Chapter 105: Giddy

Chapter 105: GiddyWhen Maggie woke up in the morning, checking her phone was the first thing on her mind. It was becoming habit. On his way home from work each night, Bobby had been texting her, knowing that she was most likely asleep and wouldn't see it until the morning. Good morning, cher. Hope you had sweet dreams. Have a great day and I'll talk to you soon. xShe grinned, feeling as giddy as a school girl, and she entered a reply. Good morning yourself, bayou boy. I had wonderful dreams about a huge four-poster bed and a fireplace and baseball. I can't wait to talk to you and I'm excited about lunch tomorrow. xxShe dressed quickly and headed out for the day. Being in court all week was a pain, but her thoughts were on Michael as she stepped onto the subway and held tightly to the pole just inside the door. Today was his third day of five for this round of chemo. He'd seemed tired last night, and she worried that he'd be sick by the time she stopped by to see him th

Chapter 106: Watching Maggie in Action

Chapter 106: Watching Maggie in ActionBobby woke up annoyed, his foul mood from the previous night carrying over into the new day. He wasn't unhappy with Savannah. She couldn't help getting sick. But Deanna had known all day and had waited to call him until after midnight. She could have called his parents and made those arrangements, too, but she'd dumped it all in his lap.Maggie's morning text lifted his spirits somewhat, and he replied to her that he'd meet her in front of the courthouse when she came out for her lunch break. He kept it light and positive, dreading the conversation they'd need to have over lunch. He felt he was letting her down, and that bothered him.He spent a few minutes packing for his trip, having made his flight reservations the previous night after he'd spoken to his parents. He planned to take his small duffel bag with him to work and leave for the airport from there. That chore completed, he found himself with about an hour to kill before Maggie

Chapter 107: Home in the Bayou

Chapter 107: Home in the Bayou"Daddy!" Bobby opened his eyes just in time to see a tiny blonde missile launch herself onto the bed."Hey there, June bug," he cooed, wrapping his daughter in his arms. "How are you feeling?"Jerilyn smiled in at them from the door. "She seems a little better than yesterday.""Better, huh?" He sat the little girl across his stomach. "What do suppose we'd have to do to talk Nana into making us some of her famous pancakes?"She held out her hand to Savannah. "Come on, cher. Let your Daddy get up. We'll go fix him some pancakes."Freshly showered and dressed in jeans and a navy polo, Bobby followed his nose to the giant kitchen of his parents' home. With eight bedrooms and ten acres backing up to the marshes, Justin and Jerilyn Beaulieu had more than enough room for their six children, their spouses, and currently seven grandchildren. "Here, Daddy," Savannah said, indicating a stool beside hers at the breakfast bar.Jerilyn placed a plate stacked

Chapter 108: Long-Distance Love

Chapter 108: Long-Distance LoveWhile the tub filled with hot water and lavender-scented suds, Maggie padded to the kitchen to pour herself a glass of wine. Returning, she turned off the water, lit a few candles, and switched off the overhead light. As an afterthought, she set her phone beside the wine glass on a stool she carried in from the living room. Maybe Bobby would call. She didn't want to miss him because she was in the tub.Satisfied, Maggie slowly sank into the steaming bath, leaning against the back of the tub and sighing contentedly.In the privacy of his room, Bobby dialed Maggie's number. It was after 11:00, he realized, but they always seemed to talk at that hour anyway.She picked up on the third ring. "Hi!" He could hear the smile in her voice."Hi, yourself, cher. How are you?""I'm so much better now. It's good to hear your voice. How is Savannah?"Bobby smiled. "She's fine. Tonight, she was running around all over the place. How was your day?"Maggie s

Chapter 109: Paranoia

Chapter 109: ParanoiaBobby watched out the window of his first-class seat as the runway came into view, felt the bump as the wheels touched down. He'd flown with Savannah to Dallas, rented a car to drive her to Deanna's, then driven back to the airport for his flight to New York. Just like every time he left his daughter, he'd felt the hole in his heart, but those emotions had been tempered by his annoyance with Deanna. He shook his head to dispel the negative thoughts. He'd see Savannah again soon. And for now, he had Maggie to look forward to. A home-cooked dinner with a beautiful redhead sounded just about right.Brown leather carry-on bag slung over his shoulder, he headed to the escalator that would take him to the taxi stand. "I'm back. I'll see you as soon as I get a cab," he texted quickly as he stepped onto the steep moving stairway.Seconds later his phone blipped. "I see you now, bayou boy." Puzzled, Bobby scanned the diverse crowd waiting at the bottom of the e

Chapter 110: Clearing the Air

Chapter 110: Clearing the AirMaggie and Michael had both said that they'd never dated each other. Michael did admit that they'd slept together once. Bobby rubbed his chin as conflicting thoughts whirled through his mind. Michael and Maggie are friends. He inspected the photograph in his hands. They look like more than friends. He exhaled sharply. Damn Deanna for wrecking my heart."Everything's just about ready," Maggie called, breaking into his thoughts.He shook his head and replaced the picture. Let it go, son. Just let it go.It was easier said than done. Maggie smiled at him and asked him to pour the wine for them, and he had to resist the impulse to believe that her smile mocked him. They sat at her small kitchen table and heaped their plates with scampi. A small garden salad of fresh greens was topped with her homemade vinaigrette, and a fresh warm baguette complimented the meal."I'm so glad you're here," Maggie said, lifting her glass.He touched his glass to hers
