Perry and Della stood outside of her bedroom door before they were to turn in. Mason slid his arms around Della's waist and pulled her to him, his eyes becoming one with hers. She gently raised her hands and positioned them behind his neck while bringing him even closer to her. For a few moments nothing was said. Mason's lips was only centimeters from hers and he slowly and sensually pressed them to her. The kiss became a little heavier as he ran his hands up and down her back with a tender touch. Her fingers curled the back of his hair exciting him more. She knew that if this didn't stop, it would most certainly get out of control and there would be no stopping it. She backed away from Perry while all the time, he would not release her. "Perry we had better quit this before we get out of hand."

"Darling you are just so irresistible and I cannot help myself."

"Perry, you are just as irresistible as I am, but remember where we are."

"You know, we can still sneak out of here and get a hotel!" he raised his eyebrows at her and gave her a rueful smile.

"Perry Mason! Just how would I explain our actions to my parents?"

"Aw come on Della! They know that you are a grown girl and quite capable of making your own decisions." He smiled as his eyes looked up and down her. "I will make a deal with you…"

She cocked an eyebrow at him. "What kind of a deal?"

"If you will give me lodging in your bed tonight, I promise to be a perfect gentleman." He smiled at her and gave her his puppy dog eyes and when she saw them, she just melted. He always knew how to get to her.

"Against my better judgment, I… oh how can I refuse a look like that?" she took the belt of his robe into her hand and pulled him into her room. "Come on lover boy!" she smiled at him. His grin was as wide as the room they were about to sleep in.

She removed her robe and house shoes and pulled the cover back for them. She then climbed into the bed and turned to see Perry remove his robe. He was clad in his boxers and a t-shirt. He climbed in beside her and pulled the cover up over them. Della turned over on her side. "Would it be alright if I cuddle up to you?" With a smile he couldn't see, she had to keep from sighing. "I guess it will be alright." Mason cuddled up to her back and his arm encircled her waist. He leaned over and kissed her. "Good night darling." "Good night sweetie."

Della showered, dressed and went down stairs to the kitchen. Her mother was standing at the stove cooking breakfast. "Good morning Mother." Her mother looked at her daughter with eyes that only mothers give when they have caught the cat with the canary. "Did you sleep well honey?" "Yes mother, I slept like a baby." Della could not look her mother in the eyes. She had the impression that her mother knew about the two sharing the same bed.

"Where is Perry?"

"He is dressing. He will join us shortly." Della poured herself a cup of coffee. She didn't any more get Perry's cup of coffee ready when he walked into the kitchen where the two ladies were. Walking over to Della he took the cup of coffee and smiled at her. He leaned in and gave her a kiss on her cheek. "Good morning darling." A huge blush overtook her. Her mother just smiled. "Alright you two shall I leave the room?" Perry looked at her and gave her a rueful smile then looked back to Della who was now embarrassed.

Della and Perry said their goodbyes to Mr. and Mrs. Street and promised to visit again. Perry loaded their luggage in the car and they headed to the airport. In a couple of hours their plane landed and Perry retrieved their luggage and picked up the rental car. Within no time they were walking through his parent's front door. "Hey, where is everyone?" Hart heard his father's call and came running. "Dad, I thought you went home checking on Mom."

"I did son. Your mother is doing just fine. She sends her love."

"When can I go home?"

"I thought that I would take you back home with me, we could spend some quality time together."

Excited he hugged his dad. "I would like that!"

"Well it's settled then."

"Ms. Della, I did not mean to leave you out of our conversation. How are you?" giving her a huge hug.

"I am just fine Hart." She smiled down at him and gave him a kiss on his forehead.

Moments later Perry's mother walked into the sitting room where they were.

"Perry, you're back so soon!"

"Yes mama. I came for Hart." He hugged his mother and gently kissed her on her cheek.

"We thought for sure that you would be gone for several days and give us some quality time with Hart."

"Mama I know that you and Dad want to spend time with Hart, but I want him with me until I can find out what has happened to Marlesa and him. I suspect that there is more trouble to come. I also do not want to put you and Dad in any danger. It will be safer for everyone involved."

Moments later Perry's Father entered the room occupying his time with a book in his hands. He looked up to see Perry and Della were standing there talking to his wife. "Perry, you're back so soon?"

"Hi Dad, I came back to pick Hart up and take him back home with me. I want him near me because I anticipate more trouble ahead and I do not want to put you and Mama in any type of danger. We will be flying home in the morning."

Perry, Della and Hart entered the plane and found their seats. After making themselves comfortable, Della could still see in Perry's eyes that something was not right, something was most definitely bothering him. She didn't want to address the issue with Hart sitting by them. She did not need to worry him or frighten him.

Sunlight peeked through the curtain and was shown on Perry's eyes. He slowly opened his eyes trying to shake the grogginess from his head. For a moment he almost couldn't remember where he was. A figure lie next to him and began to stir. He turned and saw the most beautiful sight he had ever seen. Della lay beside him with a sweet smile on her face. His eyes studied her and he thought to himself that she was the only woman that he had ever loved more than his life and his career. He knew that he would give up everything for her if she so desired. He moved closer to her and placed a sweet gentle kiss upon her lips. He softly said "I wonder what you are dreaming about?" She looked at him with one eye opened and a smile upon her face. "Good morning Counselor."

"Darling, how long have you been awake?"

"I have been awake long enough to hear you whisper and just so you know, I was dreaming about us and all of the possibilities that are endless for us."

"Oh really, well tell me about one of these possibilities." He smiled at her.

She gave a deep throaty laugh, that laugh he so loved about her. "Counselor, all that I can say is that you are the most thorough, skillful and satisfying lover that I could ever have asked for. You are just wonderful."

He smiled at her and looked at her through those blue mesmerizing eyes of his, then pressed his lips to hers with tender solicitude. When he pulled away he smiled at her the smile only he had for her. "Miss Street I have fallen absolutely, head over heels, madly, uncontrollably, and forever in love with you. You are the most beautiful, sexiest creature I have ever seen."

At 8:30 am, Mason, his Secretary and his son entered through the front door of his office suite. Della picked up the messages from the night before and collected the mail then sorted them into three piles, one urgent, the second, need answering, and last, mail that can wait. She walked into Mason's office, opened the curtains to the balcony's sliding doors, walked over to set the three piles of mail on the round table in Mason's office, and went to make coffee. After returning into the office with the coffee and the amenities needed for it, she sat at the round table and prepared to go over the day's agenda. Mason sat at the table with her while his son sat in his big leather swivel chair. Della poured them a cup of coffee while Perry looked fascinated at his son. He pointed to Hart bringing the sight to Della. With a whisper, "just look at him, he looks like a natural." While Della brought her attention to her soon to be step-son, Perry looked into her eyes and could sense a motherly instinct had come upon her. Momentarily he thought about what it would be like to have his and her children together, and then when she spoke, it brought him out of his reverie. Not long after going over the agenda, Paul Drake's knock code sounded on the private entrance of Mason's office. Della excused herself from the table and opened the door. Paul walked in and looked at Della and grinned. "Hi beautiful!" He made his way over to where Perry sat and he made himself comfortable too. "Hi Perry! Where have you been the last few days? I heard that there was some kind of an emergency that you had to tend to." Paul just had noticed the young man at Perry's desk twirling in his chair. He smiled then looked over at Perry with a perplexed look. "Well Paul, aren't you going to ask?" he grinned. "So, who is the mini lawyer?" "Hart, can you come over here for a minute son? There is someone I'd like for you to meet." Paul gave a startled look. "Did you just say son?" Mason chuckled a little. "Yes Paul, he is my son."

(OK, so there was not much action in this chapter, but the next is probably going to blow your socks off! Can't wait to publish it. The exciting part is about to begin. We will also see the take of what Paul thinks of Perry's young son.)

Dedicated to my best friend Angel, a wonderful friend Denise, a true friend Kirby, and a very special Lady…. Betty Harden. May you all be flying with the Angels.
