In the limousine, on the way to pick up Ben, Leos banded both arms around Susie and kept her welded to every line of his hard muscular physique. Having kissed her breathless, he was now frowning with masculine bewilderment. "I assumed you knew how I felt —"

"How? By thought-transference?"

"When we were together last year, I could have told you I loved you the first week but I decided it would be... well — "

"Cooler to keep it quiet?"

"More sensible to go with the flow for a while." His dark tawny-golden eyes scanned her with tender appreciation. "Then you lost your mother and I felt like I lost you —"

"Did you?" That admission shook Susie.

"You shut me out. I didn’t know whether to push or stand back... in the end I stood back which was the wrong thing to do —"

Susie groaned. "I though you were getting fed up with me —"

"I was devastated when you dumped me... there, I finally said it! " Leos breathed heavily. "Then I waited a couple of weeks and tried to contact you again but you’d moved —"

"Tell me, why did you just assume that Ben wasn’t yours?"

"Ben seemed small to me at first. I thought he was a couple of months younger than he is. I went haywire for a couple of days, I was sick with jealousy," he admitted ruefully.

Something that had been puzzling Susie since Wednesday evening prompted her to change the subject and say, "Stamatis answered the door to me the night of the dinner party. Why didn’t he just arrange everything for you?"

At that reference to his manservant, Leos gave her a wicked grin. "Haven’t you worked that out yet, yinkeka mou? I had to dream up a job for you!"

"Dream up?"

"Not the promotion... the social secretary angle. If you’d gone straight on to the management team, I would never have had a chance to see you alone. The minute I recovered from the shock of finding you at Devlin Systems, I decided to try and get you back —"

Susie was transfixed by what he was telling her. "But that interview you gave me... you were so impersonal —"

"If I had gotten up close and personal as I am doing now... you’d have taken fright and run!" A teasing light in his lustrous dark eyes, Leos claimed another tender kiss. "I had to convince you that I would treat you like an employee, but I’m afraid that was too much of a challenge —"

"For me too. I just couldn’t think of you as my boss —"

"I loved it when you got jealous... then you told me to have a great weekend with Alisha James and I thought you were laughing at me!"

Having long since arrived at its destination, the limo was at a standstill. Emerging from another embrace, Leos and Susie registered that fact about 10 minutes later. They rushed upstairs to Ben and told him what a wonderful baby he was. Secure in his parents’ love, Ben yawned and fell asleep, as his parents held hands and dreamed of their future...
