Free Love Without Rules (Contemporary Romance) by Kate Goldman Page B

whatever. I can’t delete the comment now. I want to do this,” she said out loud, trying to convince herself it had been the right thing to do. “I can do this.”
     
    Her phone rang, and Sydney saw that it was Drew. Before she answered, she thought about whether or not she should tell Drew about it.She decided against it, for now. Not until she had an idea of what she was going to do, first. “Hi, Drew!”
     
    “Hey, baby! Come out with me tonight! I have some exciting news for you!” Drew said happily. “Can I pick you up at around six-thirty tonight?”
     
    “Sounds good to me. I’ll see you then!” Sydney grinned and hung up. She wondered what kind of exciting news it was going to be.
     
    There was still some time till six-thirty in the evening, so Sydney decided that she would get cracking on the book. It will be bigger, and better than my previous one, she thought determinedly. For the next few hours, nothing but the sound of Sydney’s fingers tapping on the keyboard filled the room.

    “Alright, so what is this exciting news?” Sydney asked as she pulled open the door.
     
    “Hi to you too.” Drew laughed as he pulled Sydney into his arms for a loving embrace. “Oh Sydney, why are you so adorable…”
     
    Sydney blushed as they moved to the couch and sat down. “So?” she asked impatiently. Sydney hated being left in the dark, and wanted to know what the heck Drew was keeping from her.
     
    “Alright so… I’ve signed us up for something. Something new. Something exciting. You’ll never guess. But you’re welcome to go ahead and try.” There was a mischievous twinkle in his eye. “No hints!”
     
    “Um…” Sydney thought. “Skydiving?” Drew shook his head. “Figure skating? Hot-oil massage therapy?” Drew laughed this time before shaking his head “no.” “Okay, just tell me!”
     
    “Salsa dancing,” Drew said. “For couples. My sister, Sarah, actually did the same program last year with her husband, and said she really liked the instructor! I think her name is Florence Flame? Great stage name. Sarah also told me that she’s very good at training newbies, which is me!”
     
    “Alright, alright, I’m sold!” Sydney said as she laughed. “When does it start?”
     
    “Very soon, actually. I managed to squeeze us in for the last two slots because another couple dropped out. So we’re lucky! The first class is tomorrow, so we should probably go and get some dancing shoes and clothes for salsa.” Drew kissed her on the cheek.
     
    “We can go now!” Sydney said excitedly. “I’m sure the mall still will be open for another… couple hours or so?”
     
    “Let’s go then.” Drew kissed Sydney deeply one more time before pulling her off the couch. It was obvious how attractive he found her, with her beautiful flowing hair and model-like figure. He couldn’t keep his hands off her, wrapping an arm around her waist as they headed into the elevator.
     
    As soon as the elevator’s doors closed, Drew gently pushed Sydney to the mirrored wall and pressed his lips to hers. Sydney was completely taken by surprise at first, but began to enjoy it very, very quickly. She wrapped her arms around Drew’s muscular waist, pulling him in closer. The passion between the two was tangible as his hand moved down to her taut ass, squeezing it.
     
    All too soon, there was a loud ding, which signaled the end of the elevator ride.
     
    Drew pulled away, and adjusted his jacket. She fixed her ruffled hair in the mirror, and smoothed out her jacket. “What was it?” she asked, giggling with glee. They stepped out of the elevator, hands intertwined.
     
    “Nothing. I just love you.” He leaned down and kissed her on the cheek. “Now let’s go shopping.”
