“Yeah, two days too long.” He gets to his feet. “Come on! I’ve got places to be and people to kill.” He rushes over to Cove and swoops her up into his arms, making her giggle.
When he puts her on her feet, he kisses her roughly, making her moan. “Raincheck on that orgasm, okay? Add your pussy to tonight's menu.” He wiggles his brows.
“Go,” she laughs, swatting at his chest.
He gives her another quick kiss before rushing out. Maverick does the same. “Be good,” he warns her.
“I’m always good.” She raises a brow. “What trouble would I get into? I can’t go anywhere.”
“You can go lots of places,” Maverick says.
“Really?”
“Yes, anywhere on the property."
She rolls her eyes. “Go away.” She waves him off.
He presses another kiss to her forehead before leaving.
“To answer your question from before, that sounds like an amazing supper. If you need anything, ask Maria to get it for you, okay?” I say, stepping into her personal space.
She tilts her head back to look up at me. I stare at her for a moment, enjoying any moment I can get with her.
“What’s wrong?” she asks, searching my eyes.
“Are you happy?”
“Huh?”
“Here,” I ask, brushing some of the flour off her cheek. “With us.”
She takes a moment, not sure how to answer. “You kidnapped me,” she whispers.
I chuckle. “I’m aware of that.”
“So you admit it!”
The corner of my lip twitches. “Yes, Bunny. I’m well aware of all the things we’ve done, including kidnapping you.”
“And you know all of that is batshit crazy?” She raises a brow.
“Yes.”
“And if you were anyone else, you’d be locked up in jail, or a loony bin, right?”
“Also aware of that, yes.” I wrap my arms around her waist, pulling her close to me. I love the feeling of her body pressed against mine, the way she melts into my touch.
She sets every cell inside me on fire.
“Yet, you did it anyway,” she mutters.
“We did. And we’d do it again. And again.”
“Why?” she sighs.
“We told you.”
“Because you're obsessed with me.” She rolls her eyes. “Not sure why. There’s nothing special about me. Sorry to disappoint."
