Life had taken a turn he’d never expected. Ten years ago, he’d believed happiness could have only come from one place—Sydney Donovan. Now, he was happy, she appeared to be happy, and he was happy for her, and all they’d had to do to get there was get divorced.

“If they’re both like Theo, don’t come anywhere near our house.”

She burst out laughing. “He’s so sweet, though.”

“It’s not the sweetness, the cuteness, or the giggle. It’s having to be ‘on’ at all times to keep up with him. Me and Eesh only manage because it’s one of him. Theo could try Gandhi’s patience.”

She laughed harder.

Ayesha poked her head out the bathroom door and waved. Smiling, he waved back. Then she disappeared again.

“Oh, and the jet will wait for you,” Sydney said. “Me and D won’t be needing it, so it’s all yours until whenever. Congratulations to both you and Ayesha, and let her know I miss her and love her.”

“Did something happen between you two?”

“I wasn’t the nicest to her recently. It was after I stopped by. I wasn’t expecting the two of you to be living together, and I…questioned her about it. Stupidly.”

“I don’t understand. Why would that bother you?”

“It’s not what you think. It’s more about my relationship with her than my relationship with you.”

“Are you guys good now?”

“I don’t know.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Don’t be. This one’s on me.” She released a quick, nervous laugh. “But go, Lattimore. Your honeymoon awaits. Me and Dmitri were getting ready to head out for another look at these troublemakers.”

“And you’re sure you’re okay?” he asked.

“Yes, I’m sure.”

“All right. Talk to you later, Syd.”

“Same.”

He ended the call, stood, and joined Ayesha in the bathroom. While she curled a wand along her eyelashes, he hugged her from behind.

“Is she okay?” she asked.

He kissed her neck. “She’s having twins.”

“Oh, wow.”

“We should have twins.”

“Absolutely not.”

He laughed, crouched, and pushed up her skirt. “Mrs. Lattimore, where are your panties?”

“Didn’t think I needed them.”

“Oh, you’ll need them.” He massaged her clit with his thumb. “Or else you’ll be wet all down your inner thighs.”

She gripped the edge of the counter. “Thought you could handle it for me?”

“That’s when you were trying to be clean. This is our honeymoon. You’ll be spending the entire thing covered in my…” He leaned forward and swiped his tongue along her clit.
