If You Love Me (9 page)

“Ash,
where are the divorce papers? Do you still have them?”

She froze.
“Why do you want them?”

“You’ll
see.”

“They’re
in the desk in the den.”

He
returned a few minutes later with the papers in his hand. “Follow me.”

She tied
the belt of her satin robe tightly around her waist and did as she was told.
When she walked into the den, Adam was standing next to the paper shredder.

“Want to
have a little ceremony?” He fed the paper into the shredder and watched as it
disappeared.

“Oh, Adam,
does this mean it’s really, finally over? No divorce?”

“I called
the attorney’s office last week and told them it was off.”

“Last
week? Why didn’t you say something?”

“I wanted
tonight to be special. And we needed to have the conversation we had earlier.”

She fell
into his arms. “Adam, I love you…don’t ever leave me again. If we have a
problem, we’ll work it out. I don’t ever want to go to bed angry, ever again.”

“And we
never will. I love you, Ashley Brant.” He kissed her, before he scooped her up
into his arms and carried her back to the bedroom.
