Adam raises a brow. "And?"

I can't help fidgeting under his gaze. Saying 'I miss you, too' would've been easy for my alter ego, but real-life Leah, though?

"Me, too?"

Green eyes gleam down at me in amusement. "You're being adorable again."

Uh-oh.

I try to step back, but his arm only tightens around my waist. Every time he says I'm 'adorable', that usually means—-

Oh, shit.

Adam kisses me hard in full view ofeveryone,and it only takes a few strokes of his tongue to demolish my resistance, and I end up kissing him back as my arms curl around his neck.

Oh God, he kisses so, so good!

I feel rather dazed when the kiss finally ends, but I regain my senses quickly enough when I spot Nik and Daria in the lobby, and the look on their faces tells me they've seen Adam and me kissing.

Daria waves her phone at me.I'll upload it on Tiktok,she mouths.

Nik, on the other hand, looks like he's about to strangle Adam. My big brother from another mother still isn't completely sold on Adam being my boyfriend, but that's really just the billionaire being overprotective like usual.

I try pulling away from Adam when the couple starts walking towards us. "Could you let me go for a moment?"

"Never."

I make a face at him even though I'm secretly thrilled to hear him say it.

Nik and Daria finally reach us, and I immediately stop trying to squirm out of Adam's hold.

"Three hours late for a party?" Nik doesn't hesitate drawing first blood. "That must be some record."

"But it's totally fine with me," I say quickly, "since I understand the importance of Adam's job."

Adam squeezes my waist. "You don't have to jump to my defense all the time, little thorn." He turns to Nik, saying gravely, "I know how lucky I am to have someone as understanding as Leah by my side. I intend to devote my life pleasuring her—-"

Nik stiffens and Daria chokes back a laugh while I feel like my heart has just dropped to my stomach.

"Apologies for the Freudian slip," Adam drawls.

My gaze flies up to him in horror.Are you insane? Why do you keep trying to pick a fight with Nik?

"No apology needed," the billionaire says silkily. "Girls Leah's age are known to be fickle—-"

Adam stiffens next to me.

"And have I told you that she once mentioned guys over thirty are—-"

Okay, that does it.

Daria and I nod at each other in mutual understanding, and the two of us start dragging our respective men away from each other in the next second.

The greater the distance between Nik and Adam, the better, and we eventually end up in one of the conference rooms facing the boardwalk.

Adam raises a brow. "What are we doing here?"

"Keeping you away from Nik," I answer without hesitation.
