Suddenly, five pairs of eyes focused on her. She resisted the urge to squirm.
“There’s nothing wrong with that, is there?” she challenged, putting her chin up.
Regent’s eyebrow lifted, while Liam and Victor’s expressions remained unchanged. Nico sent her a discreet wink which filled her with confidence.
“Alone?” Regent asked.
“Yes. It’s not like there’s any danger. And it’s time I started leaving the house without having to rely on you or the others as a crutch.”
“Is that what your new therapist suggested?” Regent asked.
“We talked about it.” They hadn’t spoken at length about when and how. They’d only had one conversation, after all.
“Is she moving too fast for you?” Regent asked. “I don’t like it.”
“It’s been years, Reggie,” she said quietly. “I don’t think there’s been anything fast about my recovery.”
Regent studied her then moved his gaze to Nico. There was something in there. Something suspicious. “I think you should be doing those sorts of things with us. I want to talk to your therapist.”
“You won’t bully her.”
Regent just grunted.
“Lottie wants a family lunch, with the whole gang,” Maxim suddenly said.
She sent him a thankful glance for changing the subject. He wiggled his eyebrows at her with a grin.
“Vicky, you’re a gossip,” she blurted out.
“What?” Victor frowned.
“You heard me. That is all. Now, are you all going to the club? Because I’m going to watch some ridiculously romantic comedy movie and go to bed early.”
“I don’t want you trying to walk outside when we’re not here. Next time you want to attempt it, you’re to tell one of us,” Regent commanded.
“Sir, yes, sir.” She saluted him.
He just studied her closely.
She knew what he was thinking.
She’d changed.
And thank God she had.
“I don’t like leaving her here alone,” Nico said as soon as they entered their bedroom.
Liam moved into the bathroom and turned on the shower then took off his clothes.
Nico paced back and forth, barely paying attention as his husband stripped.
“I know,” Liam said.
The last thing he wanted to do was go to some damn club and have Maxim attempt to ply him with alcohol. He liked Maxim but the guy partied hard. That might have been Nico’s scene once, but not anymore.
He’d much rather stay at home with their girl and watch some sappy movie.
“We need to tell them.” Nico turned to find Liam standing in the shower. Fuck. He was so gorgeous. He ran his hand over his thick body. “And it’ll be worse for us if that happens.”
