I realize that I am a lot more laid back about sex and sexuality than Nathan will ever be. And I need to respect that. I nod. "Yes, Boss, I know."
"I just want to be sure no one gets confused,” Nathan says.
I make sure he sees that I’m sincere when I say, "I know. I get it. I promise I won't tease anymore.”
Nathan nods, and I can already read him well enough to know that he believes me.
"Here at home, it’s funny. As long as you don't say stuff like that in front of anybody else at the Racketeers. Or on social media. Or our families. Or in public at all."
I grin. “Got it. You keep me in bougie shampoo and body wash, and I’ll keep my mouth shut about where I use it."
Nathan shakes his head as if he’s maybe already regretting this new living arrangement idea. "You’re a fucking millionaire. You could buy your own shampoo and body wash,” he tells me. As he always does.
I hug Dani closer and kiss her head again. "Yeah, but it’s so fun having a sugar daddy, isn’t it Dani?”
Michael laughs. "Watch yourself, McNeill.” He lifts his sandwich for another bite. “At least until we have the papers signed on our new place. Then he won’t be able to get rid of you.”
Not that Nathan would kick me out—he’d miss me whether he’ll admit it or not. But damn,ournew place sounds really fucking good.
“I can’t believe this is happening,” Dani says. “I love you all so much.”
“What do you want in a new apartment?” I ask Dani, sweeping my fingers over her red curls.
“I don’t know. I haven’t thought about it.”
“You need a writing room,” Michael says. “Like an office and reading room combination.”
“Dani needs her own bathroom,” Nathan points out.
“I think she needs a pony.”
But Dani snuggles in closer against my chest. “All I need is the three of you. Merry Christmas to me.”
I feel a wave of contentment wash over me.
My eyes land on the Christmas stockings with our initials that Dani hung on Nathan’s sleek and modern fireplace. New traditions for Cookie & Co.
I can’t wait for the next step.
