and
tennis court for Amber. A fricken tennis court… and she
didn’t even play tennis, but Eduardo did, and she knew he always
wanted one. She guessed she would have to take tennis lessons just
to keep up with the pro.
     
    Amber loved the feeling of being sheltered and taken
care of. All her life she searched for someone to make her feel
complete and now she’s seized it. Her Father Figure had taken care
of her needs and she no longer had to worry about her financial
future and recalled the conversation she had a couple of nights ago
discussing the very same thing. They were in the middle of eating
dinner when Amber announced she wanted to go back to work…
     
    “What?”
     
    “I think it’s time for me to look for a new job.”
     
    “Amber, what about Peyton?” He asked, looking over at
his son eating his food skillfully with a child’s fork.
     
    “He’ll be fine. He’s got my mother and Mrs. Lopez to
look after him while I’m at work.”
     
    “You don’t have to work you know.”
     
    “What do you mean?”
     
    “Do you think you need to contribute financially to
this marriage?”
     
    “Well sure, don’t I? I mean, look at this house
Eduardo, it must have cost you a fortune!”
     
    Eduardo guffawed and rolled up his napkin. “Amber,
let me tell you something. Last year, I grossed over ten million.
This year, maybe even fifteen. I’ve managed my money very well and
have investments in both real estate and stocks. Philip and Martin
offered to make me partner, which would only bring in additional
income. You never need to work again sweetheart. So by marrying me,
you’ve become a woman of leisure.”
     
    Good Lord, she couldn’t believe it! Being able to
purchase anything her heart so desired? What would she buy first? A
new car, new clothes, furniture, jewelry, china...then she started
thinking about all the practical things she would need for the new
home…A washer and dryer? No, Eduardo had taken care of that. A
refrigerator—nope, he had taken care of that too. Flat screen TV’s
in every room of the house? Nope, he bought those too! What the
hell could she contribute to this new marriage anyhow?
     
     
    She was beginning to panic when she felt her
husband’s arms drape around her shoulders in a warm loving
embrace.
     
    “My bed is cold. Come back to sleep.”
     
    Amber closed her eyes and felt Eduardo’s lips on her
neck, kissing her with feather-like ardor up and down her crux. “I
will in a second.”
     
    “What are you doing out here?” He murmured to her,
continually grazing her neck with his velvety lips.
     
    Amber turned around within his arms. “What do you
love about me? I mean, really, why would you love someone like me
if I can’t be a factor to this marriage?”
     
    Eduardo stared at Amber as if she had three eyes in
the center of her head, “A factor? Are you talking about going back
to work again? Amber, you know how I feel about the matter.”
     
    Amber wrapped her arms around his neck, “I know, but
I still want to do something in this marriage. What can I do?”
     
    “You can contribute by continuing to make your
husband deliriously happy, that’s what you can do.”
     
    Amber, for some stupid reason, did not like
his answer. “I live to make you happy?”
     
    Eduardo gave her a small kiss on her lips, “Amber, do
you even realize how you make me feel?”
     
    Amber gulped; her husband was about to cast out
sonnets of love again. “I know you love me—”
     
    “Dear girl ...I love everything about you. I
love that you’re stubborn, I love that you keep me on my toes and
stand up to my big ego and me. All my life Amber, I’ve had this
dominant presence, intimidating men and dating women for the simple
fact that they succumb to my leverage. But for once in my
presumptuous life, someone has actually conquered me . I’m
mush when I’m around you and I’m in heaven in your arms.”
     
    Amber’s breath was taken away. She wrapped her
