I roll my head to the side. “Hey, Bunny-sugar-cake, how are you feeling?” I reach out and link my fingers with hers.
She rasps, “Like I got tasered.” Then produces a lop-sided smile.
“I know how you feel.” Getting tasered hurts like hell. “I tried to get to you, but Mrs. Diamond was too quick. Note to self: Never startle an angry lioness while protecting her cub and holding two tasers.”
“Now that you two seem okay, I will go meet some more with the FBI, but they know you are with me. We have called an ambulance for Celeste. Mrs. Diamond is having kittens for accidentally tasering you both. Celeste isn’t having contractions yet, so we have time to get her safely to the hospital. I’ve got the ladies outside, sitting in a police car with an officer until the ambulance arrives. The FBI is dealing with the rest, and this is no longer our investigation. You two take your time getting vertical.” Mack walks off, but I only have eyes for Ophelia.
“You are still wearing your aviator sunglasses.” She finds this amusing.
“Do I look cool?”
She mock-scoffs, “Still cocky, even when tasered.”
“Shocker. Pun intended. I am incognito, so I am glad they stayed on when I went down.”
“I haven’t forgotten you are injured.”
“Only forty-eight stitches, so maybe no gymnastic sex for a few days, babe, but I am good with vanilla. It will be something to look forward to.” I wink because that’s about the only thing that doesn’t hurt to do.
My shin stitches sting. They may not have fared well when my body dropped on the way down, but I’ll check them later.
“How did you find me? Has the job finished?” My woman has a head full of questions.
“I used my masculine wiles on Trinny, and yes, I am a free man to spend time with your naked body and getting reacquainted with every inch of it.”
Her eyes get drawn to my lips. She’s thinking about kisses and not using safe words.
“Babe, plenty of time for that.”
Her eyes fly back up to mine, her face reddening from knowing I can read her like a book—a dirty, erotic book.
She goes for a change of topic. “How do you know Mack?”
“I can satisfy your curiosity later in more detail, but I’ll tell you I ended up getting brought onto the same job as your friend, Phoenix. Small world.”
“Oh, wow. That’s crazy. I think I need to lay here and process that information. All this time, you have been working with my friend.”
“Indeed.”
“How is Phoenixreallydoing?”
“Well, I left her about an hour ago, drugged on Doc’s orders, and I took her phone away from her while she was arguing with Slade. As long as she takes it easy, she will be back on her feet in no time. I decided to step out and leave the two of them to cuddle and snore, and here we are. Both laid out on the floor, fully clothed. I can think of better things, sexier dirty things to do while horizontal, so, on that note, can you manage sitting up, or would you like to stay a bit longer planking?”
“Baby belly is in the way, and the dress is super snug, so I will need a hand getting vertical.”
“This I can do. I enjoy giving youhand.” My eyebrows do the wave.
She laughs softly. “I’ve missed your cocky,” she whispers.
“Did you say cock or cocky?”
“Both.”
“Well, now you are talking my language. We have much to discuss, but hell, I have been craving your touch, your mouth, your amazing tits, your—”
“I can see this is not the best time to interrupt whatever this is that is going on between you two.” Mack is back, crouching down beside Ophelia. I know it is his discreet way of checking on her, but I am all over that. There’s a reason I am getting her to talk and respond to my cocky. I am observing her, and she’s passing with flying colors. “Mrs. Diamond has a proposition for you,Bunny.”
“Okay, let’s hear it.” She sounds perkier now.
