Lance looked to the side."That's my cue to go."
I turned and saw Atticus walk off the elevator.The smile that tugged at my lips was instantaneous.
And when his gaze met mine, the corner of his lips turned up slightly.My whole body tingled, and his gaze did not waver until he stopped in front of me.
"Mr.Price," I said.
"Fucking hell, I cannot wait until I can say Mrs.Price."
A flush crept up my neck."I guess that will take some getting used to.Are you sure I can't hyphenate?"
"I don't care what you do.Keep your name if you want.I will still call you Mrs.Price."He took my hand, glanced down at the engagement ring, and brushed his thumb over it."Everything going okay in here?"
"Yeah, your team is great.Carla over there with the snacks, she's a smoothie peddler.Every fifteen minutes or so, she comes out and offers me something.It’s like you told her personally to make sure I'm well fed."
He shrugged."I cannot confirm nor deny."
"Oh my God, you did not."
Atticus only gave me a shrug."If you refuse to take care of yourself, then I need to make sure other people do it for you.And I have to make sure that your diet doesn't consist of just gummy bears."
I pulled a pack out from my back pocket."Oh, really?You probably should have told Carla I'm not allowed to have these."
He growled low and tried to take them from me as I hid them behind my back, which only made him wrap his arms around me.My gaze skittered around."Atticus."
"What?Everyone in here knows that we are getting married."
"I guess.It's just?—"
He did not move his hands.Instead he gave me a quick peck on the nose."What?It makes you nervous?"
"Yes, a little.It takes a little getting used to.It's not exactly like we've had a lot of time to get used to PDAs and stuff."
"That is actually a pretty good point.I'm guessing from the way you just stiffened that you're not down with that at work."He flashed that devilish grin that was mostly reserved for me, and well, there you have it, the panties melted.
I pressed my thighs together."Atticus Price, I have work to do.I have to get my team settled in."
"I know, but I do have more questions."
"Yes?"
"Are your panties wet for me?"
I rolled my eyes and shoved at his chest, which didn't even budge."You are incorrigible."
"I have been told that before.I’m afraid it’s your fault if you’re really looking to cast blame.”
“My fault is it?”
“Entirely.I was thinking after work tonight we might go see my mother.Since she couldn't attend the engagement party, it might be nice to pop in and see her."
"Yeah, it would be nice to see her.I was disappointed she wasn't there.”
"Something like that is not an ideal situation for her."
"No, of course, I understand."
He held on to me for a moment longer."You actually understand?"
