"I think I'm in shock!"
"That's understandable."
I frown."Our lives are unbelievably even more complicated now."
"Affirmative.But we'll work it out."He kisses my eyes closed."Listen.We don't have to go back to the party.We can go back to the cabin if you want."
"No.I'm....I'm fine."
His arms draw me tight against him.My face presses his chest, and the soft, firmness reassures me he has my back.He kisses my head and simply holds me.I push my nose to his armpit and inhale his essence.His scent is so intoxicating.
I begin to feel better and lift my face to his.I smile sweetly up into his concerned expression."You have to be there when Zita makes the big announcement.You can't exactly skip out on that.Besides, I need to dance!I need to get lost in the music!"I pucker my lips, and he gives me the butterfly kiss I need.
"I need to get lost in your dance."His hands drop to my ass and squeeze.Then he swats one.Pow!"Let's go show off your moves."
He takes a step back and grins at my surprised, "Oui."I open my mouth again, but his boyish happiness makes me realize I should.I sigh again, and then just 'let it go!'
"That's my good girl!"His eyes crinkle with his pleased smile.Then they narrow when my mischievous twinkle appears.
Sweet Zeus!I love this Golden God!
Bouncing up, I kiss his lips."Be careful what you wish for!Don't forget you still owe me a karaoke song too."
"I haven't forgotten."He taps his head, making me giggle."Steel trap."
I hook his arm and squeeze it against my tit while we start the walk back to the party tent."What are you going to sing?"
"It's a surprise."
I chuckle and instantly respond with."I like your surprises."Then I laugh at my words."Sweet Zeus!They just keep getting bigger and better!Can you beat this last one?"
"I have a few more up my sleeve."He pulls his arm out, and I slip under it.
I roll my eyes up at him."You and your fucking secrets!"He yanks my ponytail."Oui!"
"I want your hair down."
I smirk at him, but I take the holder out and shake my hair."Hey," I stop in the middle of the road, suddenly remembering the poor man in the barn he clobbered."Why did you nail that guy in the barn?"
"Because he was spying on us."He says nonchalantly and keeps walking.
I frown but follow."Why?"
"Mia sent him."
"What the hell?"I stop again."Aurei!"I call after him.
He stops and looks at me with a 'we are going to have this conversation even if I don't want to' look on his face, then he says."Listen, Mia realizes she's lost her control over my life, and Ann's life too for that matter, so she sent someone to spy on me to try to gather Intel for her.I told you before not to worry.I'll handle her."
"But why deck him?"
"Because he knew better."
"That seems harsh."
"He's a grown man that made a bad decision, and it cost him.Would you rather I fire him?"
"No."
