Julianna wasn’t entirely sure what she was doing. There was a tiny and easily ignored voice in the back of her head, telling her that she was doing something wrong. Owen was married, and her boss, but it didn’t seem like he was either of those things when he ran his hands over the shape of her. It did seem sudden, however. They’d been tip-toeing around the surface tension of a mutual attraction, that had spilled over all at once the previous evening.
She tried not to think of what would happen when the returned from Germany. Or if Sophia came home. She tried not to think of this little affair as something with an expiration date. But perhaps, that was the appeal of it, for Owen. A brief fling with a younger woman, before settling back into the normal routine of his life.
The nanny was still grinning when he pulled back to look at her. As if none of those other thoughts had entered her mind. Owen was rewarded with more giggles as he easily took up a position on top of her. Excitement coursed through her. She cocked her head, looking cute and appealing as he turned their potential lateness around on her. “I think your mother would know better than that,” she teased in return, though her tone wavered when he teeth grazed her neck. “I’m nothing if not organized and punctual.”
Owen still hovered over her and dropped his head against the pillow. Despite the urgent buzzing of the phone she wanted to cuddle him again. “Tick tock, tick tock,” she sang, playfully. He rolled off of her and she followed suit, tucking her arm beneath her head to look at him. Julianna wanted to kiss him, but she didn’t get the chance. She sat up and watched him walk off towards the bathroom. It felt strange, being in the king-sized bed alone. Climbing out of it, she quickly straightened the sheets and pillows, layering the thick comforter over all of it before she left the room to check on the twins.

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
