Late again, but here it is! I refuse to actually miss a week and haven’t so far. Just been late a bunch lately.
This is the start of my 2nd story in the Hot Comforts Anthology, to be published by ManLove Romance Press in Fall 2008. The other story I’ll have in that anthology is Giving Thanks.
(Archives are on the website, if you want to read the offerings of past weeks)

Instead he had to fight the urge to break out into laughter as he walked back to get the clipboard with all the order information for her.
