“Is something wrong?”
He quickly shook his head. “No, why?”
“You seem upset that Chris was here.”
“Cress, I’m not upset. Just surprised to hear he stopped by. I’m gonna finish my run. How about we do dinner tonight?”
“At home…”
His eyes flashed with amusement then a smile came. “Home?”
I felt my body warm at how easily I referenced his home as ours. Elias was my home now, so wherever he was was home to me. “Should I not call it that?”
He chuckled lightly. “No, I’m glad you feel comfortable enough to say it.”
“Well after this morning, I don’t have a choice but to be comfortable. You kind of forced my hand…”
And my very loud orgasm.
“Yeah, I did but I still like hearing it.”
And I like saying it.
I cleared my throat. “So, dinner at home?”
“I was thinking we could go out. I’ll make a reservation somewhere.”
“That works too.”
“Any suggestions”
“Nope, you decide.”
He nodded into the screen. “What time should I expect you?”
“Mmm, no later than six.” It was just after two. Another couple hours of choreography and I would be done for the day.
“So, eight is good?”
“Eight is perfect.”
“See you then.” His tone was a low sexy rasp and paired with the handsome smirk on his face my thighs clenched, my stomach fluttered and knotted with the promise of him.
I locked my phone and tucked my laptop under my arm then headed to the door with my tea clasped in hand. I finished what was left of my chai latte and dropped the empty cup in the trash before leaving.
A few more hours then I’d get my reward…
Elias.

After I talked to Cress,I ran for another hour, traveling the trail on our property. No matter how many years had passed, I could mindlessly navigate which was exactly what I needed. Once I was exhausted and my limbs were screaming for relief I headed back to the house, stepping into the side entrance of the kitchen feeling the tension in my muscles. A long hot shower would help with that, however, I froze at the sound of my brother's voice. It was only his that I could hear which meant that he was on a call but the next sentence out of his mouth had my jaw tight.
“I’m watching his movements and they don’t make sense. I’m concerned.”
Concerned…
