subordinate companies make a better offer. He was chomping at the bit to get his hands on all that money. It was clear that he doesn’t have the same love of this company as you do. He knew you’d never go for it, so he decided to get your angel investor on-board, not knowing it was me. I instructed my representative to let him believe I was on board. He also reached out to other big investors, intent on getting a majority vote. I already had an extra chunk of stock I’d bought and when I saw what he was doing, I bought more.”
    “Why did you have extra stock?” She didn’t want to believe it was because he wanted control.
    He laughed and stroked her cheek. “Because, sweetheart, I believe in you. I knew your company was a good investment.”
    Hearing him say those words made her heart swell. He believes in me. Tears started to flow again.
    “But, you know, I don’t see why you need a partner. Especially one who doesn’t share your passion. So I did buy the company.  Bill will get his money, and so will the other investors. Your company will be privately owned again.”
    “By you.”
    He shook his head. “No. By you. The company will flourish with you at the helm. I’ve already signed the papers transferring ownership to you.”
    “You’re giving me the company?”Joyful relief surged through her.
    He nodded.
    “You can’t just give it to me. You invested the majority of the money.”
    “And you invested your heart.” He tipped her chin up and kissed her. “It’s yours.”
    Her heart soared. He did believe in her.
    And he did love her. He’d just proven that.
    He knew she was strong and capable and he was willing to put a huge amount of money behind that belief.
    She shook her head. “No. I think it should be fifty-fifty.”
    “Yeah? Why is that?”
    She rested her hand on his cheek. “Because I think that’s how it should be between a husband and wife.”
    She nearly laughed out loud at the shock in his eyes.
    “Are you saying…?”
    She took his hand as she sank to her knees. “Zane, I love you with all my heart. I know you will always care for me and protect me. I know I can trust you with my life.” She smiled. “And I’ve learned a lot about how to give up control after this past weekend. So I want to spend my life obeying you.” She stared straight into his steady blue gaze. “Will you marry me?”
    He chuckled and pulled her to her feet and straight into his arms. His tongue delved deep, claiming her with a passion that took her breath away. When he released her mouth, she could barely breathe.
    “Yes.”
    It was her turn to laugh, then she threw her arms around him and hugged him tight, her heart pounding in her chest.
    His hand stroked down her back and over her ass, then he pulled her tight to him. The hard bulge against her belly told her he’d missed her as much as she’d missed him. She knelt down again, stroking her hand from his chest to his growing cock. The feel of his hard shaft beneath the fine wool of his suit pants sent her heart racing. She unzipped him and pulled out his big, pulsing cock, already steel-hard with wanting her. She smiled as she admired his length, her hand stroking slowly from base to tip.
    She gazed up at him. “What would you like me to do, Master Zane?”
    “You’ve just become head of your own company.” He smiled. “I’d like you to take control.”
    She stood up. “Really?”
    She stepped back, unbuttoning her blouse as her gaze glided up and down his body. His swollen cock twitched under her scrutiny. She dropped her blouse to the floor and ran her fingertips over the swell of her breasts, watching his eyes darken.
    “I want you naked,” she said.
    “Yes, Mistress,” he said as he took off his suit jacket.
    She watched hungrily as he unfastened the buttons of his shirt, one-by-one, slowly revealing his broad chest. The first peek at his sculpted abs sent her heart pumping faster. He shed his shirt, then unfastened the button of his
