“Come here.” His fingers slid down my arm, wrapping around mine as he tugged me.
I shot a worried glance at the door. The housekeeper was poking about out there.
Nico gave me another tug, and I fell onto his lap.
The feel of those hard muscles did things to me. I melted, momentarily giving into the comfort of him.
“I didn’t mean to keep your car away,” he confessed. “Forgive me?”
I smacked his chest. “The paint had better not be scratched.”
He chuckled. “I’ll fix it if it is.”
His fingers drew lazy, long strokes against my skirt. The material hiked up. And then, he found skin.
“Nico,” I warned. “This is dangerous.”
His voice was husky, heavy with desire. “You’ve become my favorite sin, and I was never built for repentance.”
“You’re evil,” I pouted, but my legs shifted, opening for him, inviting him. He slid his touch along my inner thigh, stopping right before he found the spot where I craved him.
“Tell me…why was there was salted finger in your suitcase?”
I jerked.
My heartbeat tripled.
The brat had gone through my things!
“You snooped,” I hissed.
He grinned. “I did.”
“That was uncalled for, Nico. My stuff is private.”
He shrugged. “I think your little stash is cute. Trophies from your time here.”
I stabbed a finger in his chest, making him grunt. “Tell anyone—”
“Snitches get stiches,” he whispered, nipping at my collar bone. “Would it help if I apologized for looking?”
“Are you sorry?” I baited him, running my fingers through his hair.
“No,” he chuckled. “How about I make it up to you?”
Air stuck in my throat at the seductive tone. “I’m listening.”
“I need you to spy at the Midsummer’s Eve party my family is attending Thursday night.”
The way he spoke was warm, just like honey drizzled on a buttered biscuit. It warped my brain to the point that I didn’t register his words. At first. When they finally clicked, I bent over with stifled giggles.
“Yeah, sure. Me. Go to the fancy party,” I gasped for air.
Nico squeezed my thigh, his finger brushing against my panties. “I’m serious.”
“Keep dreaming, buddy.”
“I’ll deliver the dress and mask.”
