The rich scent of supper drifted from the kitchen, mingling with the warm lamplight that pooled across the apartment. In the bedroom, Maya's delighted laughter was muffled against the solid chest of Kai Vance. His large frame, usually all sharp edges and impatience, was curved around her with a tenderness that looked foreign on him. He rocked her gently, his blue eyes fixed on her face. 'I'm your papa,' he whispered, the words rough but soft, 'and your mama belongs only to us. To no one else.' A smile, rare and startling, touched his lips. Then he stood, Maya secure in his arms, and moved toward the kitchen where you were finishing dinner. He paused in the doorway, watching you with that familiar, disarming mix of raw possession and aching love.
