“We're in here, Uncle Nova,” Hunter tips his head back and yells.
“Hang on a sec, buddy,” Nova yells.
Nova: Fuck
Nova: I'm sorry
Nova: I got held up with something
Nova: I'll make it up to you
Nova: I promise
Nova: Where are you?
“And we're making cookies!” Hunter says, projecting his voice a touch louder than he really needs to.
“Cookies? My favor—” Nova cuts himself off as he comes into the kitchen, his gaze zeroing in on me. His face transforms as it spreads into a slow smile. “Well, if it isn't the girl of the hour.”
I press my hand to my chest in mock surprise. “Me?”
His grin hooks into a smirk as he strolls toward me. “Of course. Who else would it be?”
I slip my phone back into my pocket and continue to wipe down the counter. “Tough to say. It's been so long since I've seen you. I was worried you wouldn't recognize me anymore.” I make sure to put enough sass in so he knows I'm just teasing him. Mostly anyway.
“Hey, Hunter?”
“Yeah?” His little head pops up from the other side of the island, a washcloth clutched in his hand.
“Remember that prank we like to play on your dad when he comes home from work?” Nova asks.
Hunter's face breaks out into a grin, and he holds back giggles. “Should we show Eve?”
Nova nods, that goddamn dimple popping out and taunting me. “We should definitely show her.” He jerks his chin toward the front of the house. “Go get into position. Your dad's on his way home.”
Hunter tosses the washcloth on the island and sprints out of the room, his giggles leaving an audible trail behind him.
“Do I want to know what that's all about?” I keep my voice low and concentrate on scrubbing the counters.
“You'll see,” he murmurs as he steps in behind me. He molds his front to my back and plants his hands on the island on either side of me. His nose runs along the shell of my ear. “Ah, I get it now.”
I stop wiping, holding my position as my heart kicks up a notch. “Get what?”
“You don't need to be jealous, sweetheart. I wasn't stepping out on you.” His breath coasts over my neck, sending shivers down my back.
I flick my gaze toward the front of the house, where I saw Hunter disappear to, half-expecting him in the doorway. But it's empty.
“I'm not jealous,” I murmur.
He presses in closer, the heat of his body warming my back. “You sure? You'd look great in a little green, baby. I'd let you take it all out on me too—I can take anything you wanna give me.”
I turn my head to the side. “Your nephew is here. You can't talk like that.”
“Get your mind out of the gutter, sweetheart,” he chastises. It loses its effect when I can feel his grin against my neck. “You smell delicious, by the way. I could just eat you up.” He nips at my skin. “I've missed you, baby.”
I back up a little, his cock bumping into my ass. “I've missed you too. Where have you been? Bane and Silas have both been here.”
He sighs, dropping his head to the slope of my neck. “Sometimes I have to go solo, sweetheart.”
