“Elaine never did, and it’s on my list of things to upgrade, but…”

“It should have been on your must do now list.”

I know it before I get the words out that it’s the wrong thing to say because it definitely pisses her off.

“I’m so sorry, I made the wrong choice to suit you. I had to get shit up to code first, and I don’t exactly have an unending supply of money, you know?” She goes to get out of the bed, but I grab her.

“I’m sorry, Junie. That was a shit thing to say. I just don’t like the idea of you working the hours you work without proper security. It makes it worse that your customers usually get rip-roaring drunk most nights and alcohol turns brains into shit.”

She sighs, but she doesn’t pull away from me.

“You have to quit spending money on me, Ben.”

“That’s not going to happen. Besides it makes me happy to do stuff for you, especially stuff I know needs done and will protect you. I’m going to talk to him about coming out and wiring this place up.”

“No, you aren’t,” she says stubbornly. “I draw the line. You’re right. I need it at the bar, but I’ll pay for it. But I’m absolutely not getting it done today. I’ll look into it when I can afford it and not a moment sooner.”

“I can see we’re going to argue over this,” I mumble.

“If you don’t back down, then, yes. We’re definitely going to argue.”

“Then, let’s go get breakfast and then see what kind of quote my guy gives us and we’ll argue about it later? I’m in too good of a mood to fight right now.”

“So, you admit that we’re going to bicker later?” she laughs as she says it, her head shaking back and forth.

“Baby, we always argue. It’s become our thing, but we always make up and damn if that’s not the best thing I’ve ever known.”

“My man, always so smooth with the lines,” she says softly, her hand drifting along the side of my neck while she stretches down to kiss me.

“Glad you think so, but that’s not a line, Baby,” I murmur against her lips.

She pulls back to look at me, and this time her eyes are sparkling, and she’s got that look she always gets when she wants to play.

“What about we skip breakfast and have lunch after we meet with your camera guy?” she suggests and my dick twitches under the sheet. I want to say yes, but…

“I thought you were meeting Luna for lunch?” I remind her.

“I’ll call her and reschedule for tomorrow. That will work better for her anyway. I was the one who didn’t want to do it tomorrow.”

“Then maybe—”

“I’d rather play with my man. Now quit arguing,” she grumbles, her hand diving under the cover to wrap around my cock.

“I love it when you get bossy.”

“Only because you like reminding me of who is in charge,” she gripes, and she’s not wrong. I take her mouth, kissing her instead of replying, my hand sliding down between her legs, my fingers finding that wet heat I crave. I slide between the lips of her pussy, eager to touch her… just as the phone rings.

“Damn it,” I growl.

“Let it ring, we can call them back later,” she mutters, her hand moving up and down on my cock.

“It could be work. I gave them your number,” I breathe out, exasperated. A man can’t even have a complete night with his woman without bullshit.

She whimpers, but pulls back, keeping her hand on my cock. It’s going to be hard talking to anyone if she insists on doing that the whole time.

“Hello?” I bark into the phone when it gives another persistent ring.

“Ben, it’s Danny. I know you’re supposed to have the weekend off, but, man…”
