Andrew knows he’d been a crappy husband lately. With Valentine’s Day coming up, he’s been holed up in his jewelry studio for weeks. Bring an independent jeweler means working long hours before every holiday, and Valentine’s Day is one of the busiest. But Andrew doesn’t realize just how distant he’s been until his husband, Ian, has to drag him out of his studio in the middle of the night.
Andrew feels awful after realizing how lonely Ian’s been without him around. He vows to do better, both for their marriage and for himself. Because the truth is that Ian isn’t the only one who’s missed spending time together. Andrew can’t just ignore his jewelry business, not before such a major holiday, but he’s determined to carve out some time to reconnect with Ian.
He gets his chance the very next morning, when Ian wakes him up early. Faced with the sight of his husband fresh out of the shower and wearing nothing but a towel, Andrew’s idea of reconnecting takes a turn for the naughty. But a quickie in the morning won’t be enough. When Ian gets home that night, Andrew will have to pull out all the stops to show just how sorry he is for being a workaholic. And he’ll get a reminder of just how good it feels to make time for a little romance.
