I motion to the kitchen table. “Mia, you can have a seat here. This probably won’t take too long. I only need to make sure she’s eaten and taken her meds.”
She holds up her laptop, giving it a tiny wiggle. “I’ll be fine. Take all the time you need.”
“Try not to hack the refrigerator while you’re here.”
She squares her shoulders and clears her throat demurely. “If it’d please the court, I’ll begin my rebuttal by sayinghow rude. And I’ll continue by advising you that the fridge is an older model, so it has no hackable signals.” She crosses her arms at her chest. “However, the coffee maker is vulnerable. But I’ll be good since you’re already under stress given the whole, you know, someone watched us bang last night thing.”
A few thoughts hit me at once, flying out of my mouth before I can stop them.
“First, we have to hack into Sawyer’s coffee machine to dick with him.”
She grins. “We really do. Especially after the door sign thing for Tomer. He doesn’t deserve that.”
Ignoring the irrational flare of jealousy over her defending Tomer, I continue, “And second, why is it hot that someone saw me make you come three times last night and again this morning?”
Maybe I’m more of a freak than I give myself credit for.
Her expression morphs to shock, her eyes bugging and a smile tickling at the edges of her mouth. “Cal, my gosh. Now who’s the naughty one?”
“You’re corrupting me.” After glancing over my shoulder to make sure Ma isn’t coming, I bend close to Mia’s ear. “Does it bother you that someone saw you screaming my name? And how I had you shaking, quivering, and begging for more?”
“I’ve created a monster.”
I swirl my tongue on the tender spot under her ear, reveling in the way she shudders at my touch.
Afraid I’m about to be caught by my mother like a freaking teenager, I put a few inches between us. “Does it bother you?”
“It probably should, but it doesn’t. At least not until we know who was watching. But…” She trails her fingertips along my forearms. “It’s sort of hot that someone out there knows my man can satisfy me that thoroughly.”
I sure as hell did. And after the long, tiring day we had yesterday, no less, I still had her shaking in pleasure repeatedly. I bet the chairman of the board himself couldn’t pull off such a feat.
The way she looks at me makes me feel like Superman. If she keeps building me up, my head won’t fit in the door at work.
“Wait. Did you just say your man?”
My voice remains steady, but my pulse skyrockets.
Her pale cheeks turn ruddy. “Well, unless you banish me from your bed, I won’t be entertaining other suitors.”
A frog jumps into my voice box.
Obviously, I don’t want her to be with anyone else. But the thought of sending her away makes me woozy.
Then again, is she asking for a commitment?
Trusting her is dangerous. And committing takes trust.
When I don’t answer soon enough, her lashes flutter to hide her eyes, and she sucks in an unsteady breath. “Sorry. I guess it’s too soon for that. And you probably don’t want to—”
“Shh, Mia. That’s not it.”
Her face perks up but is still laced with uncertainty.
“You caught me by surprise.”
“Take some time to think about it. I know I still have work to do to prove myself and earn your trust. But I will. I promise.”
“Calvin!” my mother calls. “Are you here?”
