“Excuse me?”
I remembered Jack and Lily were there and decided to take the conversation outside. I led Kat out the door and onto the patio. “Tell me what’s wrong.”
“Sid, I need to get back inside.”
“Not until you tell me what’s wrong,” I said, blocking her way.
She huffed. “Fine. I saw Kate kiss you, and it made me angry. Happy?”
I smiled. “Very.”
“What?”
I wrapped my arms around her and buried my nose in her neck. Her long hair was down in waves and smelled like the new herbal shampoo she had in my bathroom. Her neck smelled sweet like honey, and I snaked my tongue out to get a taste. She moaned low and dug her nails into my forearms.
Slowly, I kissed a path up her neck to her ear, nipping at the lobe. She gasped, then melted against me. My dick swelled, making my joggers tent obscenely, but I didn’t care. All I cared about was Kat.
“Sid, we have to stop,” Kat panted.
“Baby, I can’t. Not when you taste like sunshine and honey.”
She whimpered and leaned forward. I nipped at her jawline.
“Should you really be doing that where everyone can see?” Laney asked.
I turned Kat around and used her as a shield while I willed the blood to return to my head. Jacob had a hand over Gracie’s eyes and a giant grin on his face.
“Really, there are children,” Laney said. “Come on, Gracie.”
She frowned at us as she urged her daughter inside. Isaac, in his baby seat over her arm, was blissfully oblivious.
“Busted,” Jacob said as he passed. He clapped me on the back and then went inside.
“Oh my God.” Kat covered her face with her hands.
I chuckled and buried my face in her shoulder. The off-the-shoulder design exposed it to the air, and I nipped at it. She swatted me and walked inside. I laughed, my chest feeling lighter than it had in a long time. I adored her.
Chapter 29
KAT
“I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU told them we’d babysit,” Sid grumbled.
“I didn’t saywe. I said I would. I can’t help that you live here.”
Last night at dinner, the girls had complained about how they couldn’t go Black Friday shopping with the kids. I’d gone out for many years on Black Friday and was done with it, so I offered to watch the kiddos for them. The guys were going golfing and then spending the day at Frank or Jacob’s playing poker.
I figured it wouldn’t be a hard job with Gracie’s help. She was ten now and good with the kids.
“Go hang out with the guys,” I said, putting more cereal onto Lily’s tray. At two, she was adorable as hell, but she was also mischievous, and Kate said this would contain her.
The twins were down for a morning nap in their Pack ’n Play in the spare room, and Isaac was asleep in Sid’s office. Jack and Gracie were watching cartoons in the living room.
Sid took a sip of his coffee and frowned.
“What?” I asked.
“I can’t leave you here with all of them.”
