care of
things...downstairs. “So, this is what you do?”
Morgan spread her arms out, indicating the room around her. “Is
this...”
    “It
is,” he laughed at her disbelief.
    “Wow,”
she nodded, then took another bite. It made sense he lived there if
he owned the whole damn building.

Chapter
Three

“ I
guess you were hungry!” Ian and Morgan both laughed as she
popped the last of her bacon into her mouth. It was her fourth
piece, along with everything else that she had devoured.
    She
was still giggling when she threw her napkin in his direction. “Hey,
you're not supposed to tell a lady that she ate too much!” He
feigned shock at his own words, and stood to bow at her side.
    “If
the lady will forgive me?” He took her hand and brought it to
his lips and offered a kiss with his sarcastic apology. She raised
her chin and looked down her nose as he released her hand. Ian was
so relaxed, and his smile was something that her eyes searched for
each time she looked at the man. She was never disappointed.
    “I'll
consider it, if.... and only if.... you agree to take me shopping.”
She had no idea why the words left her mouth so easily, Morgan
wasn't one to suggest anything to a client unless he left it up to
her. She was just about to tell him that she was only kidding, when
the truth hit her at full force. Because I want to. Morgan's
chin remained high as she waited for her gentleman to agree. He
smiled at their playful moment, and nodded once.
    “A
day of shopping it will be, my lady.” She pulled her hand from
his and stood quickly, offering only a quick kiss to his lips before
turning. Morgan was almost to the bathroom to find a proper outfit
when she stopped to reply.
    “I'll
be but a moment, kind sir. Oh, and don't throw out my coffee, I'll
finish that before we leave.” She nodded toward the table
where his hand was dangerously close to her full cup, and giggled
when he moved his hand away from her drink. “Thank you.”
She smiled as she shut the bathroom door as memories of Michael, and
his talk of her being his fair maiden, flooded her mind. But, she
thought, she was Ian's fair maiden for the week, and it was something
that Morgan greatly looked forward to.
    Her
white distressed jeans and a long purple tank with dark wood beads on
the straps would be perfect. “I need jewelery.” She
looked in the mirror as she ran her finger over the white gold angel
wings, and smiled as she thought of the man behind the gift. The
purple tank, however, would look even better with a long beaded
necklace, and that would be something that she shopped for that
afternoon. She also had to find time for another full laundry day,
as the best she had done was wash only one load while she was with
Finlay and Burke.
    She
was just double checking the mirror before leaving the room when she
heard Ian's voice. Then she heard another voice, and she put her ear
to the door to listen. The two men were speaking in spanish, but she
caught the gist of the conversation. Ian had to leave again. It
wasn't a surprise when he called out her name in a regretful tone.
    “Yes?”
She replied after scurrying to the other side of the room to make it
clear she had not just been eavesdropping on the man.
    “There's
a problem downstairs with the restaurant delivery, I have to go get
things sorted out. If you want to wait, it shouldn't take more than
an hour or two...”
    Morgan
walked back to the door, then opened it and leaned against the
doorway as a smile spread across her lips. She wanted to go out, and
that's what she would do, with or without her client. “I'd like
to go shopping now, but name a place and I'll meet you there whenever
you're done.” Her index finger wrapped around a long strand of
hair as she spoke. His lips curved into a quick frown, then he nodded
and suggested they exchange phone numbers so they could meet up
later.
    Morgan
typed her number into his phone, then she grabbed her purse, and
while the two took the
