FORD
“Ford?” Her voice is thick with sleep.
“Yeah, baby, I’m outside.”
“Why? What time is it?”
“Eight.”
“In the morning? What are you doing here?”
“How about you let me in and I’ll explain?”
“I’m still in bed.”
“Figured that out. Let me in and we can go back to bed.”
She pauses, then gives a soft moan. “Give me a second.”
I disconnect, hearing the series of beeps from the alarm a few minutes
later. She cracks the door and my body locks at the sight.
My eyes rake over her, taking in her wild hair and wide eyes laced with drowsiness before landing on the bright pink pajama set clinging to her body.
My fingers twitch to snap the tiny straps of the camisole and peel it off her.
As if she can sense my struggle, she steps back and gestures for me to come inside. Pepper nuzzles my calf until I drop my hand to her head.
“I should probably let her out back.”
“I’ll do it while you change.”
Her cheeks heat in a way I recognize, and I catch her around the waist before she can race away. “There will be a time, hopefully soon, that I can fully show my appreciation for this hot-as-fuck get-up you’re wearing.”
She chews on her bottom lip, her eyes growing alert. “I thought you wanted to go back to bed.”
My cock jumps, fully ready to throw her over my shoulder.
“Baby, I’m trying my best not to act like a complete caveman.”
Pepper barks, twisting between our legs.
“I’ll hurry.” Rowan slips out of my hold, giving me a full three seconds to admire her ass going up the stairs before she is out of view.
“Come on, girl.”
She follows me through the house and races outside. When she’s done, she runs back, jumping in circles.
“Her treats are on the counter,” Rowan calls.
As soon as she inhales the small bone, she takes off back upstairs.
By the looks of the scattered papers and open laptop, Rowan brought her work here yesterday.
I glance over the paperwork and immediately know this isn’t accounting or payroll. Chemical formulas cover every inch of the pages.
I review it, trying to make sense of the notes in the margins. I’m lost in the details and don’t notice her until she’s at my side.
