I dropped my hand and blanked my face of everything but my smile.
“Don’t do that.” Lo moved across the room and stopped in front of me.
She knew what would happen.
She just liked it.
I hooked a finger in her belt loop and pulled her onto my lap before kissing her neck. “Don’t do this?”
“Definitely do that,” she breathed.
I palmed her tit. “Don’t do this?”
“Always do that.” She tilted her head to give me more access to her neck even as she said, “You’re not going to distract me.”
“Wouldn’t dream of it,” I said as I bit down.
She pushed away but kept her position on my lap as she clicked the computer mouse to rotate through the cameras. “Anything yet?”
“Still too early.”
The Biddy Bullshit Brigade, as Lo and LaQuin dubbed them, never showed until peak to get the most bang from their efforts.
“Everything will go fine,” she reassured. “Murphy agreed to stick close. As soon as anyone steps out of line, he’ll shut it down.”
I used my hold on her tit to plaster her back to my front before swirling my tongue around her neck. The shiver thatwent through her made my dick jerk against her ass. She shifted around like she was trying to get comfortable when we both knew she was just trying to drive me outta my mind.
Something she easily did—and not always in an erotic way.
Pulling the neckline of her shirt aside, I bit down on the sensitive skin at her shoulder, sucking it in before biting again. I dragged my tongue up and let my lips graze against the shell of her ear when I asked, “Which one is Murphy again?”
“Is that what that maneuver was about? Marking your territory?”
“Marking my property,” I corrected.
The spot wasn’t visible with her shirt in place. I wasn’t stupid. Outta my head with jealousy? Fuck yes. But not stupid enough to fuck with her actual job by broadcasting the lines we’d crossed.
Still made me feel better knowing it was there.
“I almost forgot,” she said. “I was coming to let you know that Midnight’s equipment is set up, and now they’re hanging out in the back room.”
“And here I thought you came in to get felt up.”
“That was just an added bonus.”
I gripped her hips and lifted her to stand before following after—all without releasing her. I slid my fingers up the back of her hair as I nudged her forward like I was going to bend her over my desk. For a second, I almost forgot that I was only supposed to be teasing her and why it was a bad idea to follow through.
I released her and stepped back, and her angry pout was instantaneous. “You’re evil.”
“That mean you don’t want to come with me to check on Midnight?”
“You’re also handsome,” she tacked on. It was her go-to response to get her way.
And it worked every damn time.
The check-in went quick since they didn’t need anything more than the burgers they’d already gotten from the kitchen. Otherwise, they were good to go and almost as excited as Lo.
She’d had zero clue who the band was. And after I’d played some tracks, she hadn’t been overly impressed. The grungy garage band wasn’t her taste. That said, she’d been excited to finally see someone—anyone—on stage.
