NOPE.

Pulling Jaxon up, he pressed her to his chest, as his hips did all of the work. With less-than-gentle fingers, he got her off.

When she came, he let her pull him over the edge with her, and they both took that tumble.

That was when they both fell to the couch.

As the room shifted, and spun with a bright array of colors, Tony smiled smugly.

Sue him.

It was Jaxon’s giggle that got him to look over.

“Mr. Magnus, as always, bravo,” she said, as he held her and nuzzled her cheek.

Oh, well, when you had an amazing partner that let you be yourself, one only wanted to get standing ovations during the main act.

“Well, my pretty wife, you get me all hot and bothered. So, I’m not sure if you’re to blame, or if I’m just lucky. Maybe both,” he admitted.

She gave him a kiss.

“I love you, Anthony.”

He smiled at her.

“Well, Jaxy, I love you too. Thank you for being my partner in crime,” he said, pointing at them naked on the couch.

She snickered.

Then, she got up and held out her hand.

“Chrissy was out there. She’ll rat our asses out to Chris,” she stated, holding out her hand for him.

Tony took it, and the two of them pulled on their things. Then, he fixed her hair, and she straightened him up too.

Unlocking the door, they sat down on the couch, and each used at tablet to check on the work that was being done on the skulls.

That’s when the door opened, and Chrissy peeked her head in.

“Oh, thank God. If I came in here and found what I assumed I was going to find, I was taking the bridge.”

Tony played dumb.

That was how he got away with a lot of shit. Most people thought of him as a tomfoolery kind of a guy.

Oh, and he was.

He just knew how to fake it until he made it.

“Uh, we’re sitting on a couch, Chrissy. What did you think we’d be doing in Chris’ office? I hope you don’t mean…”

He gasped in fake horror.

It took everything Jaxon had not to burst out laughing at his bullshit.

They’d done exactly what she was thinking.

In record time, apparently.
