Male Review by Lillian Grant Page B

so important he would risk his marriage for it?
    “What did you say to her?”
    He rubbed his hand over his face. “She didn’t tell you?”
    Meg shook her head. “Nope. Just said you were insufferable.”
    “I told her some people enjoyed sex and she should lighten up and stop being frigid.”
    Meg felt her eyes all but popping out of her head. “You said what?”
    “She never used to be this way. Before Sian was born she used to chase me around the house, naked.”
    Meg put her hands over her ears. “I so do not want that picture in my head.”
    Her dad roared with laughter. “And yet you were fine about playing hide the salami in your mother’s kitchen at my birthday party.”
    Heat crept into her face.
    “Nothing to be embarrassed about. Just don’t ever forget sex is fun. I’m sure Sam would agree?”
    Sam turned his head. “Sir?”
    “Robert. The name’s Robert, son. I said I’m sure you would agree that sex is supposed to be fun.”
    Sam turned a deep shade of red, spluttering on his coffee.

Chapter Eighteen
    Meg pulled her car into the curb and let out a sigh. Sam reached over and squeezed her shoulder.
    “Sorry I got drunk. I don’t think I helped much.”
    “You tried your best and at least you cheered my dad up. I guess we need to go with Plan B.”
    “How long until your dad thinks she’ll forgive him?”
    “I’m not sure he wants to be forgiven. He wants the woman he married back, although the thought of her chasing him around the house makes me shudder.”
    Sam laughed. “As much as I don’t want to consider your mother’s love life, things would be simpler if she had something to distract her and less time to be looking into other people’s business.”
    She climbed from the driver’s seat and into Sam’s lap. He hugged her close and she snuggled into his embrace. “Wouldn’t it be great if it was just the two of us?”
    “It will be, soon. We just need to get your mum to move back in with your dad and set Maud up in an old people’s home.”
    “That might take weeks. I wish we had got together sooner. All those months we lived alone and the best we could do to amuse ourselves was eat ice cream.”
    A laugh rumbled in his chest. “Ice cream can be lots of fun, depending on who you eat with and what you eat it off.”
    “What if I go to jail? We might never get to be alone again.”
    Sam took a deep breath, his chest expanding beneath her head. “You’re not going to jail, and even if you did, I’d be here waiting for you when you got out.”
    Meg shifted and met his gaze. “You should move on with your life. You can’t afford to wait for me.”
    He grabbed a handful of her hair, tipping her head back and stared fiercely at her. “You can get that thought right out of your head. You’re not a serial killer so you won’t be getting a life sentence. I don’t care what it takes; you’re stuck with me. When are you going to accept this is for keeps? I love you.”
    A thrill shivered through her. She loved that he was so dominant, demanding, and hot.
    “If I didn’t love you, do you think I would still be here living with the crazies that keep lining up to move in with us?”
    Meg smiled. He had a point. Just how many nutty relatives would need to arrive to force him out?
    She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him long and slow, drawing his tongue back into her mouth. Something stirred beneath her thighs. Her nipples pebbled and warmth spread below her waistline in response. They finally pulled apart and she let out a loud sigh. The embrace had certainly revved his engine and her motor was purring nicely, but they couldn’t sleep in the car. She seriously doubted they’d manage to do much in the car. Next time she went car shopping she planned to upgrade to something bigger with plenty of room to maneuver should the need or desire arise.
    “I love you too, but we can’t hide in here all night.”
    Sam looked out the window. “The lights are off. Do you
