I nod, tightening my hold on her. “That, I am.”
Quirking a brow, she says, “Oh, so cocky.”
“I can afford to be because I know I’m right.”
Running her hands over my chest, she says, “Please tell me how you are so sure.”
“Nailing you made me the smartest man on this planet.”
She laughs and shakes her head in amusement. “Nailing me, huh? So romantic.”
“I never professed to being romantic.”
“But you can cook, so there is that.”
“True.”
She moves a little closer. “And you bring me coffee in the morning.”
“I do.”
“And listen to my country music even though you hate it.”
“I don’t hate it.”
She scrunches up her face. “You do. A lot.”
I concede defeat. “Okay. I do.”
“You also sit through documentary after documentary with me when you’d rather be in the garden or—”
“—In you.”
“Yes, well I was going to say something else, but there is that, too.”
I pull her hard up against my body. “You give me more.”
“I don’t think so.”
“You gave me back my work.”
She pulls a face as if what she gave me was nothing when it was everything. “I just helped you shuffle your staff around and took on a few shifts myself so you could take that job on, that’s all.”
“That job just happens to be the second best thing that’s happened to me in a long time.”
“Drawing buildings is your happy place. I would do anything to give you your happy place. We both got lucky with our work.” Publishing books looks good on Callie.
“You love my son as much as I do. You gave him a stable family.” I eye Sean dancing with Mum. Now that he has both Callie and his mother back in his life he’s the happiest I’ve ever seen him. The fact he gets to spend time each day with his mother is the icing on the cake. Thank God she won her appeal.
Her lips brush across mine. “He’s easy to love,” she murmurs and then adds with a wicked glint in her eyes, “Maybe more so than you some days.”
I press my lips to her ear. “You bring your A-Game more than I deserve.”
Her hand grips my chin and angles my face so our eyes lock. “That’s because I love your cock so damn much.”
I groan. “I should have known your dirty mouth wasn’t far away.”
She grins. “It never is. And that’s one of your favourite things about me.”
