“Business.”
A smile crossed her face. “Business with Charlie Easton? Count me in.”
CHAPTER
THIRTY-THREE
CHARLIE
With two slices of cheesecake from Doughburgh in one hand and a bottle of wine tucked underneath my arm, I unlocked our apartment door and walked into the room. Soft music played over our living room speaker, but Athena wasn’t around.
“Athie,” I hummed. “Where are you?”
“In here!” she called from the hallway.
I placed the cheesecake on the living room table and headed to the kitchen to find us wineglasses. While I planned to bring Athena to Radiant tonight for our first night together there, foreplay was a must.
What better foreplay than to watch the video we made after marrying?
On the kitchen counter, Athena had laid out several candles with drying wax, which looked like she had made less than an hour ago. My lips curled into a smile, and I popped open the wine to begin pouring.
“Athie, I know you want to watch our video,” I called.
Quick footsteps pattered down the hallway, and Athena popped her head around the kitchen door. Her red hair was thrown up into a messy bun, and she wore an oversize pink-and-white striped shirt.
“You have the video?” she asked, eyes growing wide.
“Yes.” My lips curled into a smirk. “Do you want to see it?”
She walked into the kitchen until she stood in front of me, and then she craned her head up and nodded. “Yes, I would like to see it very much. The girls have already seen it multiple times and kept making jokes about it all day! Have you seen it yet?”
“No.” I drew my thumb across her lower lip. “I wanted to wait for you.”
Her cheeks reddened. “Really?”
“Really.”
A giggle escaped her lips. “And you brought wine and …” She sniffed and glanced at the living room coffee table. “Cheesecake from Doughburgh?!” She grinned and stood on her toes to kiss me on the lips. “Give me five minutes so I can slip into something more comfortable.”
When she turned to run to her bedroom, I grabbed her wrist and pulled her back toward me. “I have something for you to wear tonight. It’s in my bedroom closet. Second drawer from the top in the bureau. You’re to wear it to Radiant.”
“Radiant?” she repeated. “We’re going there tonight?”
“Yes.”
My gaze dropped to Athena’s thighs as she discreetly tried to push them together. Her nipples hardened under her oversize shirt. I placed the wine down and seized them to pull her closer to me.
“You’re going to put it on for me, and then we’ll watch our sex tape. Then I’ll bring you to Radiant to show off this pretty little body,” I mumbled against her lips. “Do you understand me, Athie? You’re going to be my willing little cum dumpster in front of all your friends.”
Athena whimpered and swallowed hard. “Yes … please.”
Once I released her nipples, I twirled her around and smacked her ass. She jumped in the air and giggled, skipping into the hallway.
I finished pouring the wine and glanced over my shoulder. “Oh, and, Athie?”
“Mmhmm?”
“We’re married. We’re not going to sleep in separate rooms anymore,” I said. “So, after Radiant tonight, I’ll move your stuff into my bedroom. Got it?”
