Following racquetball and showers, he and Lex settled at the table on the terrace off the music room. And there she was. Looking more radiant than ever before.
She gave them each a sweet smile as she served coffee and juice.
No awkwardness whatsoever.
Jax got a jolt low in his gut. It took all the willpower he possessed to not bend her over the table and push her skirt up.
Instead, he told her, “You could have woken us before you snuck out.”
“I did not sneak out,” she countered. “We had a supply delivery first thing this morning and I had to collect everything I needed for the upstairs butler’s pantry before Maxwell raided all the boxes for his own stock in the form
al living rooms and the library.”
“Ah, very convenient,” Lex said with a crooked brow.
She smiled again. “I swear I didn’t sneak out. You were both snoring when the sun came up. I figured you needed your beauty rest.”
Jax mockingly scowled. “Last night we were devastatingly handsome. Today we’re ogres?”
“Let me off the hook, Jax,” she said with a luxurious laugh that was music to his ears. “I have a job to do. And you now know why it’s so important to me. So be nice.” She pinched his arm.
He grabbed her around the waist and she fell into his lap.
“You’re going to make me spill!” She set the pitcher of juice on the table.
Jax said, “Rule number one. You don’t leave either of our beds without a good-morning kiss. Or, preferably, a good-morning fuck.”
She kissed him. Then told him, “Duly noted, sir.”
He released her. She rounded the table to where Lex sat and kissed him.
“Hmm, nice,” he said. “I like this rule.”
“Now may I serve brunch?”
“I am starving,” Lex admitted.
“You wore us out last night, sweetheart.”
Pink tinged her cheeks and neck. “You’re the ones who did all the work. I just enjoyed the orgasms.”
She set out the food and Jax was tempted to ask her to join them, but the two housekeepers were on this floor somewhere and could walk into the music room at any time to dust and mop. He didn’t want to put Lily in a difficult position with her co-workers and any gossip.
When she left with the cart, Lex went to the study to collect his notebook.
Jax reset the digital recording system, not erasing last night’s track, which contained Lily’s erotic, stirring moans.
He’d be saving that session for future fantasy reference.
He tuned his violins and then crossed to the wet bar. Just as Lily passed through the double doors.
“Let me,” she said as he reached for a bottle of Pellegrino resting in the chiller.
Over his shoulder, he told her, “I can pour my own water, sweetheart.”
She came up behind him and said, “Do not call me that outside of your suite.”
“It’s past noon. Housekeeping and maintenance aren’t allowed up here.”
