Yield to Love (22 page)

He chuckled. “Ah, that’s the spoiled woman I
know and love.”

She put her hands on her hips. “I’m not
joking.”

Roque caressed her face. “Baby, we can go
right now and pick the biggest damn diamond you want. Nothing but
the best for you.”

At that moment, the toilet in the stall
nearest them flushed. An elderly, white-haired woman emerged from
the stall.

Marlowe gaped, clearly embarrassed. “Oh, my
God. Did you…?”

“
Don’t worry about me,”
the woman said, shuffling to the main door. “I understand passion.
I used to be young once.” She glanced at Roque. “That was the best
action I’ve had in years.” Then she glanced back to Marlowe. “This
man’s a keeper,” she said.

Roque laughed as the old woman left the
room. “Well, you heard her,” he told Marlowe. “You’d better keep
me.”

Marlowe leaned on tiptoe to kiss him. “I
think I’ll take her advice.”

Roque pulled her into his embrace and
claimed her lips with a soul-stirring kiss. This was where she
belonged—in his arms. She wouldn’t fight it anymore. Roque was
right: They’d finally yielded to love.
