Nothing like a little jealousy to spice up a relationship!

Ashley smiled over at Harry as they settled into their seats. "I'm getting excited," she told him as she tightened her seat belt.

"Would you like something to drink?"

"Some hot tea would be nice," said Ashley.

Harry signaled the flight attendance who rushed over once she realized who he was.

After he ordered drinks, he pulled out his iPad and sent a couple of emails. Ashley leaned back her head and took a deep breath. He looked over at her as she closed her eyes.

What if she is pregnant? They would be parents in 9 months. It would change his life. I would gladly change my life. My mother is the ultimate mom. She took care of me and Gemma throughout the changes that happened in our lives. She was responsible for keeping me grounded and responsible. I want to be that kind of parent. I want to be a good partner to Ashley.

'Harry?"

"Yes," he said shaking his head.

"Do you need some gum?" asked Ashley.

"In a few minutes," he said with a big smile. "This is going to be fun. I'm excited!"

"They may put you to work, you know."

"I don't mind. It would probably do me really good," he said flexing the bicep closest to Ashley.

She reached over to squeeze the muscle. "Nice," she said smiling at him.

Harry leaned over and kissed her temple. "I love you," he said softly.

"I love you."

Two hours later they were loaded into one of the Russo Vineyard Range Rovers and on their way. Their driver talked about the bordering vineyards, the seasons, and the plans for the weekend. Harry and Ashley were to be treated to a tour, tasting, and dinner. They could also shadow those responsible for the winery operations.

"I hope you both will participate in our annual festival on Saturday," the driver said to them.

"Oh my goodness! I'd forgotten about that, Harry."

"What's it for?"

"The locals celebrate the wine offerings for the season. The award-winning wines are honored. Basically, everyone gathers in the town square offering tastings, restaurants provide local foods, and various bands play music. I attended one of these when I was a girl!"

"Sounds fun!"

Ashley reached over and took his hand giving it a squeeze. When she looked into his eyes, he saw all the emotion and excitement she was feeling.

"Stop it!" said Harry as he rubbed his rump. "I'm going to have to stand up for the next several days," he said with a frown.

"You didn't have to go riding," said Ashley still laughing uncontrollably.

"I wasn't going to allow you to go riding alone with Romeo. He can't seem to take his eyes off of you."

"That's silly. He's just being nice."

"Sweetheart, I'm a guy. I know the difference between being nice and wanting to be more."

Ashley cleared her throat loudly. "Hi, Lucas."

"Did you enjoy yourself?" he asked with a huge smile.

"It was amazing. Thank you so much," she said reaching out and touching his arm. Harry frowned when her hand seemed to rest on Lucas' muscular arm a little too long.
