“Before you talk to Darren, I need a minute,” Nick said, taking Sam’s hand and half dragging her into the kitchen. Once there, he wrapped his arms around her so tightly that Sam had trouble breathing, but she didn’t dare complain. “Holy shit.” His voice was unsteady, and she could feel a slight tremor in his muscles. “Holy
freaking
shit.”
“Look at it this way—never a dull moment.”
That drew a reluctant chuckle from her husband. “Dull is boring and overrated.”
“I’d love the opportunity to find out.”
Tipping her chin up to receive his kiss, he said, “Not gonna happen in this lifetime, babe.”
Sam smiled and took a moment to enjoy the kiss, thankful she had a lifetime to spend with him.
Mixing romance with politics can be fatal.
