Myhandcamedownon Saoirse’s sassy ass. “You’re not inconvenient. Say it.”
She squirmed in my lap, her face buried in my throat. “I’m not inconvenient.”
“Youarea fucking menace, though.” I smacked her again, making her yelp.
“I’m a fucking menace.”
I smacked her again. “I’m not having sex with you in my office. There are far too many people nearby for me to do what I want to do with you. Now, I’ll have to work the rest of the day with half my blood supply in my dick because of you.”
I felt her grin against my throat. “You didn’t have to spank me.”
“You had it coming, and you know it.”
I’d been disappointed Saoirse hadn’t been able to join me for lunch, but when she appeared at my doorway a few minutes ago, that fell away. Holding her in my lap more than made up for not having her company earlier.
I pressed a knuckle beneath her chin, drawing her out of my throat so I could look at her. I’d woken up to this face for a week now, and not a single part of me wanted to go back to waking up alone.
“How was the office space?” I asked.
“We liked it. I don’t know if we’re ready to sign on yet, though. We were more just getting a feel for what was out there.”
“Did you and Miles grab lunch, or are you hungry?”
Her nose scrunched. “I’m not hungry.”
There was a strained quality to her answer that brought me to attention. “Did you eat?”
“Mmhmm.” Her eyes darted to the side, and her hands clenched on her thighs.
“Was that a yes?”
“Yes, Luca. I ate.”
“With Miles…?”
She huffed, turning away from me. “Yes. Miles and I both ate. He’s actually probably wondering why I’m not back at work. I should go.”
I caught her before she could slip off my lap, holding her flush to my chest. “Is everything okay?”
“Of course it is. I only meant to stop in for a minute, though. I need to head back to work.” Her lips pressed against the side of my throat, and she nuzzled me with her nose. “I’ll see you tonight.”
She wanted to go, so I let her. But she’d raised my alarm bells. I knew my wife. She was an awful liar, and just now, I was almost certain she’d lied about something.
Approaching Saoirse from behind, I swallowed her in an embrace. Her head fell back against my shoulder with a sigh.
“What are you making, pretty girl?”
I’d arrived home, welcomed by Clementine and the scent of garlic and spices. After giving my cat a good pat, I followed my nose to the kitchen, where Saoirse was standing at the stove. She wasn’t exactly a domestic goddess, but she cooked well, and my mother had taught her a few of my favorite dishes from childhood.
I had no complaints and considered myself lucky.
“Salmon and asparagus.” She tilted her head to the side to meet my eyes. “I wasn’t sure if you’d be home in time to eat with me.”
“Are you glad I am?”
“Always.”
Leaning down, I dropped a kiss on her lips. “I’m starving. Are you hungry?”
