“This dirty talk is making me super wet.”
“Jesus, woman, you’re killin’ me.”
She kissed him. “I like this booth. We’re sitting next to each other, we’ve got our backs against the wall. I could probably cover your junk with one of these lovely cloth napkins and rub you off right here.”
A sexy growl shot out of his throat. “I’m gonna fuck you so good, then make you come so hard, you won’t be able to walk for a week.”
She released a whisper-soft moan as she stared into his eyes. “I can’t wait until we find those killers. We’re taking a week off and we’re not getting out of bed.”
“Server’s coming.”
“So am I,” she murmured as she removed her hand.
The coffees and dessert were delivered. Grey handed the server his credit card and she disappeared.
Caroline sandwiched his face in her hands. “Thank you for dinner. It was perfect.”
“The night’s not over.”
She forked a piece of tiramisu and held it out for him. He opened his mouth and she slipped the delicate morsel inside.
“Mmm,” he said as he collected some on his fork and fed her.
Sweetness exploded in her mouth, the creamy dessert making her smile. “I’m going to savor every bite of this. I have a feeling this is the calm before the storm.”
“Why?” he asked before sipping the espresso.
“Because I trust my gut… and it’s never wrong.”
Beneath the table, he clasped her hand. “What did you think of my cousin?”
She shook her head. “No comment.”
“Austin, no holding back.”
She slipped another bite of dessert into her mouth. “Mygod, this is amazing. We should have skipped dinner and just had dessert.”
“You’re gonna need your energy.”
“Tease.”
“I’m serious.” After he forked in another bite, he said, “I shouldn’t have hired him.” He tossed a nod toward Willie Boy, who was back at the table with the four guys.
She followed his gaze. “What about them?”
“They slipped him a wad of cash.”
“It’ll be good for you to talk to your brothers.”
They finished their coffees, Grey settled up. Instead of leaving, he brought her into the office so he could say goodbye to Teddy.
“You want me to tell Willie Boy he’s out?” Grey asked.
“Hell, no,” Teddy replied. “I can keep an eye on him here. I wouldn’t have hired him, so I owe you a big thanks for bringing him back.”
“He’s up to somethin’.”
“What’d he do now?”
