“Ah, so Sullivan isn’t the only luck you’re having in New York, then?” Will arched a brow at us. “Congrats on that too.”
“Thanks. New York definitely doesn’t suck.” I wrapped my arms around her waist, kissing her cheek as I held Will’s gaze.
Julie pursed her lips at me when I shrugged.
“Will and I were just catching up,” I told her as I lifted her arm and placed it around my neck.
“And your man was showing off earlier about how much he’s already killing it in New York.” Will shut his eyes and shook his head. “And he may be showing off a little now for my sake, but I’m glad he’s happy.”
“I would agree on all of that.” Julie chuckled, holding my gaze. “And I hope he is.”
“Oh, he is.” I dropped a kiss to her shoulder and turned back to the screen. “We can catch up on the rest when I’m there.”
“I look forward to it,” Will said, flashing us a genuine smile. He was a pain in the ass but a decent guy and a good friend.
I smirked at Julie’s raised brow after I ended the call.
“I’ve never been claimed over Zoom before.” Julie turned in my lap and draped her legs over my thighs. “I’m surprised you hadn’t told him about us already.”
I shifted her around until she straddled me.
“I was waiting until I went back to Charlotte in a few weeks and he made another crack about how hot you are.”
I rubbed my palms along her thighs and squeezed her ass with both hands.
She tilted her head to the side and narrowed her eyes at me.
“Seriously?”
I lifted a shoulder. “I like making it crystal clear that you’re mine. And I’ll probably do that a lot.” I shrugged and pulled her closer. “Sorry if that’s a problem.”
“Are you going to do that at Dean and Maria’s later?” She pushed off my chest. “I’m kind of looking forward to the shock.”
“I feel like we’re going to get a lot offinallysthrown back in our faces tonight.” I skimmed my thumb along her jaw.
“Either that orbut we knew this already. Nana will probably think she worked her magic on us in Vegas.”
“We seemed to be the last to know.” I ran my hands up and down her back. “All done with work?”
“I am.”
I groaned when she rubbed herself against me.
“I like knowing you’re right upstairs. It’s going to be hard to function when you go back.”
“It’s only for a week, and this time when I come back , we can have all the happy reunion sex.” I nuzzled her neck and ran my lips along her collarbone.
“You really are kicking ass in New York,” she said, dropping her head back to give me more access. “Plus, watching you leave for the subway in a suit is serious eye candy.” My chest pinched at her wide smile as she dug her fingers into my hair. “I’m so proud of you.”
“There is a lot more to do before I can say I’m kicking ass here, but it’s a good start.” I brushed her hair off her shoulder. “It’s all falling into place, darlin’.” I dipped my head and trailed kisses above the neckline of her T-shirt.
“Camera is off, right?” she asked on a breathy moan.
“It is,” I rasped, leaning forward to slap my laptop shut. “We have an hour, you said?”
She pulled her T-shirt over her head and threw it off to the side.
“They have enough extended family coming. We don’t have to be the first ones there,” she said, her eyes on mine as she reached behind her to unhook her bra, slipping it off her shoulders. My mouth was on her nipple like a magnet as she writhed against me. I rolled it between my teeth, both of us moaning as it pebbled on my tongue.
