I smack her forearm and cross my arms.
“Hanna, you know exactly what I mean. Everything we’ve been experiencing so far was skirting at the edge of it all.”
“Well, you better get ready to dive in, because Finn just texted me that they’re outside.”
I take a deep breath, then down the rest of my Espresso Martini.
“Let’s go, then.”
I rise, heading through the indoor area of the lounge, Hanna in tow, already catching a glimpse of my man leaning against his sleek black Mercedes, strong arms crossed over his suit-covered chest, watching me from beyond the glass doors.
Jesus fuck, he’s sexy.
I don’t miss the two women who slowed down right in front of me as they were walking on the sidewalk, their eyes fixed on Ronan, their short, tight dresses suddenly riding just a bit higher. But the man cocks his head to look right past them, a wicked smile on his lips as he extends his hand to me. Only I seem to notice how the women look at me in mild shock, flip their hair over their shoulders, and quicken their steps.
“Hello, stranger.”
Placing my hand in his, I let him pull me against him, his other hand sinking into my hair, crushing me onto his lips, devouring me like he’s been hungry all day.
When we break apart, I look over to my right, to where Finn opens the door to his own car for Hanna, and I can’t help but catch a glimpse of the two women who passed by. They look positively sour, as they quickly turn back around and keep walking.
It feels good, being the woman others envy. I’ve never experienced this before.
“What are you snickering about?”
Was I?
“Oh, nothing.”
“Shall we go, then?”
I nod as we pull away from each other, and once again he opens the door for me. He’s been doing this every time we go somewhere—always opening the door for me. I can’t help but wonder if this is a honeymoon phase thing, or if it’s simply Ronan.
He slides in the driver’s seat, turning on the purring engine of his car, then pulls onto the street after Finn.
“How come you didn’t come with only one car?” I ask him.
“We weren’t together. I had a meeting, and he was closing a deal out of town.”
“Out of town?”
“Yeah, Levane, a city about an hour and a half away. He only just came back now, so we ended up synchronizing.”
“I’m still not fully sure I understand how your organization operates.”
I look at him, trying to see in his expression if by any chance I crossed a line by asking.
“What do you want to know?” He reaches over, wrapping his large palm around my leg, giving it a slight squeeze.
Focus, Annika, focus.
But his fingers tickling my inner thigh in his possessive hold are replacing all my thoughts with filthy fantasies.
It’s just a hand, Annika. Pull yourself together, for God’s sake.
Tell that to my pussy. She didn’t get the message.
“Little witch?” He glances over when I don’t respond, trying to keep his eyes on the road.
