“That any way to talk to yourpakhan?Jesus. Tell me everything.”
He’s the older brother and head of the familyso I have to, in detail.
“And you picked her up today?”
“I did. It was time. She needed to be with her mother.”
“Wow. No one can ever say you waste time.”
“Of course I didn’t.” If there’s anything I’ve learned it’s how quickly your life can change. If someone in your circle’s in need of protection, you drop fucking everything and get it done.
“You did the right thing.” I didn’t know I needed his praise until I heard it. I stand a little straighter. “How’s Harper?”
I look through the doorway and lower my voice. “Sleeping with her as we speak.”
“Careful with that.”
“With what?”
“Letting them share a bed.”
“Your kid’s stillinyour wife and you’re already giving me parenting advice?” He can fuck off with that.
“I seriously need to kick your ass and teach you manners.”
I square my shoulders. “Come on over and try.”
He laughs. “Asshole. I’m just saying, the whole bed sharing thing can get out of control.”
I snort. “That’s your biggest concern?”
“Listen, it happens. Mama sleeps in the bed with the baby, baby gets used to it. Next thing you know, Papa’s sleeping on the couch grumpy as fuck because he’s not gettin’ laid anymore.”
He might have a point. I frown. “They can share a bedtonight.”
Mikhail laughs. Good, let him. See how much he gets over the next few months after that baby arrives.
“We need to fill everyone in tomorrow. Good job, Aleksandr. We’re strengthening more and more every day.”
I nod. “We are. It’ll be your turn, soon enough. Maybe even later tonight. We’ll see.”
He blows out a breath. “Better get some sleep just in case it is.”
“Interviewing nannies tomorrow.”
“Smart. Any luck on your research?”
The hunt for the man who assaulted Harper’s in full swing, but we have nothing substantial yet. We will.
“Not yet.”
He growls. I told him everything and his taste for retribution is as strong as mine. I forgive him for being a know-it-all.
“Good luck tomorrow. I’m gonna get some rest, will fill you in when the baby gets here.”
I can’t help but needle him one more time. “Hard not being able to control something, eh?”
“Happy to remind you what Icancontrol, asshole.”
