"Webb?"

"Maybe." He reaches for his phone again. "Ghost wants everyone at the clubhouse."

I nod. "Okay."

"I'm calling Savage."

"For me?"

"Yeah."

I glance at the clock. "Kai, I'm going to work."

"No."

I raise an eyebrow. "Excuse me?"

"Petals stays closed until we know what's going on."

My mouth opens in shock. "Louise might have something to say about that."

"Ghost already spoke to her."

Of course he did.

I sit back in my chair. "And Savage?"

"Stays here until I'm back."

I stare at him. "You're giving me a babysitter."

"I'm giving you Savage."

"That's worse."

His mouth twitches.

I point at him. "Don't smile. I'm annoyed with you."

"You're not."

"I could be."

He smirks. "You were smiling thirty seconds ago."

"Things change."

He gets up and comes around the table.

I tilt my head back as he stops beside me. "You're very annoying this morning."

His hand settles against the side of my neck. "You'll survive."

"Debatable."

He bends and kisses me. For a few seconds, Ghost, Webb and whoever the hell warned him can wait. When Kai pulls back, his thumb brushes my cheek. "I won't be long."

"Okay."
