“Hey... Thank you.”
He smiled as he leaned in and pressed his lips to mine. “You’re welcome, baby.”
I settled in my seat as he walked away and waited for everyone else. The dining room table could comfortably fit eight people. A little table with chairs was set up off to the side for the kids. As they sat waiting patiently, Precious smiled at me before coming over.
“Miss Pasha?”
“Yes, baby.”
“Do you like Uncle Cay now?”
“Would that be a problem?”
She shook her head. “No, ma’am. He told my mommy he really likes you.”
“Oh, he did, did he?”
She grinned and nodded. “You look so pretty today! Uncle Cay keeps watching you.”
I looked back to find Callum’s eyes on me. He smiled as he continued to fix his own plate. I smiled and turned back to Precious.
“Well, I think your uncle is a very handsome man, and I can’t stop looking at him either. But don’t tell him I said that,” I added in a whisper.
She covered her mouth and giggled. “Okay.”
“What are you two whispering about?” Callum asked, placing both plates and the drinks down.
“Nothing!” Precious said, grinning. “Miss Pasha, did you know Uncle Cay was ticklish?”
“A little birdie might have mentioned it.”
“Don’t you dare, Precious Gisselle,” Callum warned her.
Precious crept around my chair to her uncle. Before she could pounce on him for another tickle attack, he grabbed her up and tickled her instead. She erupted in a fit of giggles. Armani decided she didn’t want to be left out and came running over. Callum grabbed her up with a free hand and began smothering their faces with kisses. It was so adorable the way he was so playful with them.
“Tickle him, Ms. Pasha!” Precious squealed.
“Baby, don’t you—”
My fingers were in his sides before he could get the words out. He couldn’t stop me because that could result in him dropping both girls. A loud laugh erupted from his throat as he tried to wiggle away. Everybody else trickled into the dining room, shaking their heads and laughing.
“All right, girls,” Bella said. “You can torture your uncle later. It’s time to eat.”
I stopped tickling him, and Callum placed them back on their feet. They both kissed his cheek before going to their table.
“You know I’m gonna have to get my lick back for that, right?” he asked, smirking.
“I’m not ticklish, sir.”
“I’ll figure out something.”
A devilish grin appeared on his face, and I felt my flesh heat up. Suddenly, I was a little nervous to be alone with him tonight after everybody left. Did I want to be? Yes. Would I be able to control myself? That I wasn’t sure of.
Dinner was excellent, and time seemed to fly by. Before I knew it, everyone was packing up to leave, seeing how they all had to work the next day. I had such a great time with everybody. They welcomed Avyn and me with open arms. We’d even exchanged numbers with Eva and Bella, who were actively planning a kid-free girls’ night. My social life was vastly improving. Avyn and I had agreed to come to game night at Chris and Eva’s the following weekend. Judging by this group, I knew things would get loud and possibly competitive.
“Alone at last,” Callum said, closing the front door.
He ventured over to the couch where I was laid out, nursing a full stomach. The itis was kicking in, and my eyes were getting heavy. I felt the couch dip under his weight as he slid behind me. A strong arm wrapped around my midsection, and soft lips kissed my temple.
