Cain sighed under his breath as Remington put a brightly wrapped present on the table and shoved it across the smooth wood toward him.
“Be nice,” I teased Cain. It wasn’t as if we all expected him to be anything other than…Cain.
He unwrapped the gift and lifted out a black leather collar, with silver studs, and a leash. Cain let out a surprised laugh that shook his chest.
“What the fuck, Remington,” I said, because it wasn’t as if the Sphinx had a pet. I knew who Cain would try to collar.
“Be nice,” Cain chided, shifting slightly so my legs straddled his one thigh. His hand dropped lazily between my thighs, teasing me through the material of my dress and panties. “I think Remington was very thoughtful.”
“You would.”
“I happen to have my own gift for Aurora,” Cain said. He reluctantly lifted his big hand from between my thighs and gripped my hips, lifting me gently off his lap. Pax was there instantly, resting his hand on my lower back and watching me carefully to make sure I wasn’t hurt.
I get stabbed in the almost-heart one time, and these guys become gentlemen. It was amazing.
We took the elevator down to the basement. “Tell me this gift isn’t in the tunnels under the Sphinx,” I said.
Remington looked slightly guilty, but only slightly. I had a feeling he’d inject a chip under my skin again given half a chance.
“Nope,” Cain said as the doors opened into the garage. “You’d be wrong.”
In front of us was a Porsche SUV.
Cain dangled the keys in front of me. “Try not to light any more of my cars on fire, Aurora.”
I stared at the car. “I have a car already, though.”
“It’s ugly. Also, it was repossessed after we stole all your money.” Remington didn’t look up from typing on his phone. “I forgot to mention it.”
“Did you have anything to do with this repossession, Remington?” I demanded. I’d been a little busy. I hadn’t gone to look at my car since it had been disabled, but I’d assumed it was still safely parked in good old Student Lot D.
I should have known.
Remington tried to look innocent and failed. Innocent was not his strong suit.
I sighed. “Fuck faces.”
“Generousfuck faces,” Cain corrected.
I took the keys. “Thanks.”
"That’s it?”
“You’re the reason I don’t have my other, perfectly nice car anymore,” I reminded him. “You can’t buy me with expensive things, Cain. That’s never going to impress me.”
I leaned up and brushed a kiss over his cheek. Then I turned and headed back into the elevator, leaving Cain looking a little shocked.
“Too bad, the money was the big thing you had to offer,” Remington mocked Cain.
“I’m pretty sure his dick is the big thing he has to offer,” I sang as the doors started to close, and then Remington dove through the doors. I caught a glimpse of Cain smiling after us.
Remington had just rushed through, but he straightened his lapels, looking unruffled, and pressed the button for the top floor of the Sphinx. “I have another present for you.”
“I see.”
His lips curled at the corners. “It’s better than Cain’s.”
“We’ll see,” I teased back, then said, “I don’t have anything for you. You guys are making me a little uncomfortable.”
