A week and a day ago, Trance and the boys had taken Loki out for his bachelor party, while the old ladies, and quite a few of the police and fire wives, came out for a baby shower and housewarming party, at our new house.
Loki and I had been gifted with so many presents that we’d had to move the party outside.
We’d moved completely into our new house only the weekend before the bachelor party, and this was the first time for all the ladies to see the house with all the furnishings in place.
Loki had found a nice little place in the middle of nowhere that was only a few short miles away from town.
While we’d been busy opening presents, Trance and the boys had gotten Loki drunk.
He’d showed up at home drunker than hell, and sporting a new, hideously ridiculous tattoo.
At least it was covered easily.
Trance’s tattoo would be seen by anyone once his sleeves were gone. The fucker deserved it, though. I still couldn’t believe he’d dared Loki to get a tattoo. Especiallythatone.
Loki’s door to his office was partially open, so I walked right in without knocking.
I was startled to find him with someone, though.
Detective Eurie Lauder was sitting on the side of his desk wearing her short business skirt that showed off her beautiful legs.
Loki wasn’t paying the least bit of attention, though.
He was on the phone staring out the window.
Eurie and I had a hate-hate relationship.
I hated her, and she hated me. We both knew that. We both acknowledged that. However, we kept things civil because Loki didn’t need the added problem of having to worry about his current lover and his ex-lover getting into catfights anytime we were in the same vicinity.
I knew as soon as I met her that she was in love with Loki.
He didn’t know, though, and I planned on keeping it that way.
“Eurie,” I said nodding my head at her.
She smiled tightly at me. “Channing. How’s the baby doing?”
I looked down at my stomach, pressing my hand against the little elbow that was poking out of my skin. “Bryce Junior is doing well. He’s very energetic today. Do you mind giving Loki and me some time alone, please?”
She grimaced. “Sure,” she said and stood.
She didn’t look back and I was grateful.
It was time for her to move on. My man wasverytaken.
I knew he had eyes only for me.
Which he proved over and over again.
He was mine, and I was most assuredly his.
“Hey, baby. How are you doing?” Loki asked as he hung up the phone on his desk.
I smiled. “I’m good. I, uh, brought you some pictures. Brittany made me.”
His eyebrow quirked as he walked around his desk, threw the door closed beside me, and pressed his big body against my own.
His mouth covered mine for short moments before he withdrew and took the envelope from my hand.
