“Just coffee and eggs. I used basil.”
“Fancy.” She gives me a quick kiss on my lips. “Can I do anything?”
“I’ll take another one of those.”
She obliges, giving me a longer taste of her sweet mouth. “You were up extra early.”
“I didn’t want to wake you. So, I went out for a run.”
“Couldn’t sleep?” She puts her arms around me from behind while I stir the eggs in the pan.
“I slept alright.” But Dwayde and the case are never far from my mind. “You think Jackson knows about what Alden did?”
“Doubt it. I don’t think the Franklins would tell that to anyone, not even their attorney.”
“I wanted to out their skeletons. But it’s a lot on Dwayde.”
“It is. But he’s strong and resilient, Mick. He has Dr. Sass and all of us. He got so much love at brunch yesterday. He knows we’re all there for him.”
“Yeah, he does. It’s just the thought of him having to spill all those details to a judge.”
“I’m confident if it comes to that, he’ll be okay.” Dee slips away to drop two bread slices into the toaster. “Dwayde has started talking. That’s the best thing to come out of all of this. You made it possible.”
“I just said to him what Cayo said to me many times. You did all the work with Joyce.”
“You’re being modest,” she remarks over her shoulder. “But we’ll call it a team effort. As for the case, one step at a time. I’ll start by meeting with Jackson.”
“My bet is on you, Counselor.” I turn off the stove when the toast pops. “You’re going to kick ass.”
“I plan on it.” She twines her arms around my neck. “Thanks for the vote of confidence, though.”
“After the case is over, we’ll go somewhere and celebrate.”
“What do you have in mind?”
“A private island where you can lie naked on the beach.”
“Hm…why am I not surprised that your vacay choice includes nudity?”
“Because you know how much I love having instant access to your body.”
“I love that too.”
“Then you won’t mind…” I tug at the knot of her belt and open the robe, revealing creamy olive skin and tightened nipples. “Very nice.”
She nibbles on my lower lip.
If Dee is fighting the tapes in her head about being bared to the morning light, it doesn’t show. Her blossoming confidence takes my arousal up another notch, spiking it through the roof. I grip her ass and lift her onto the counter.
“You have a thing for countertops,” she murmurs, referencing the bar of our hotel.
“I have a thing for you.”
She trembles on a gauzy sigh. I catch the sound, finding her mouth soft and wet. I’ve experienced many kisses over the years. They were like summer rain showers—brief and inconsequential. With Dee, kisses are like a storm—thunderous and breathlessly exhilarating.
My palms cup her breasts. I squeeze their generous weight and lower my head, alternating between nipping the peaks with my teeth and rolling them with my tongue.
Moaning, Dee arches her back seeking more, giving more. I move one hand between her legs and groan roughly. My dick hardens to the point of pain at finding her soaked and ready for me.
