“Thanks, but it’s not gonna happen.”
He leaned closer, raising an eyebrow. “Are you seriously saying no to me?”
“Yep.” I stood on my tiptoes and touched my nose to his. “Get used to it.”
His eyes darkened and I smiled, pressing my lips to his.
“Well, shit,” Melody sneered. “No wonder you quit. You’re getting your girl dick wet.”
I squeezed my eyes shut and took a deep breath before facing my sister. “Good morning, Melody. You look well-rested.”
“We’re late, thanks to you,” she said, and I felt Jaxon stiffen behind me.
“I’m not going to dignify that with a response,” I said. “And we’re not late. Not even close, but we should get going. Butchy’s waiting in the hall for us.”
“Brock’s on his way up,” Jaxon said. “I want you to wait until he gets here.”
“Did you not hear me?” Melody asked. “We’re late.”
Jaxon turned his head to face her, and I could tell he was trying not to verbally eviscerate her. “Ididhear you. But the safety of you and your sisters is my priority, so you’ll leave when my team gets here.”
Melody rolled her eyes and swished her hair, stalking back into her room. A knock came at the suite door and Jaxon peeked through the peephole, then pulled open the door. “Hey, brother.”
Brock walked in with another man and I realized I was looking at three of the best looking men I’d ever seen.
“Dallas,” Jaxon said, and I noticed him relax a little. “Matt released you, huh?”
“Yeah.”
“Harmony, this is Dallas. He’s part of our team.”
I shook Dallas’s hand and smiled. “It’s nice to meet you.”
“Harmony, come with me for a second,” Jaxon said, and I followed him into the office off the living room.
Pushing the door closed, he pulled me into his arms and kissed me far too thoroughly for my liking. And I say that because the second he did it, I wanted to strip him naked and keep him tied up to my bed forever. Instead, we both had to go to our respective jobs and kinky, naked sex would have to wait.
“You’re evil,” I whispered. “Has anyone ever told you that?”
He smiled, kissing me again. “Yep, but not because I riled them up. This way, anyway.”
“I don’t know how late I’m gonna be tonight,” I warned.
“You just let me know when you want me to pick you up.”
I grimaced. “I might need to stay here.”
“If you do, I’m here with you,” Jaxon said.
“So we’re continuing this?” I asked.
“Hell, yeah we are.” He frowned. “Unless you don’t want to.”
“That’s kind of a tough call,” I said. “I feel like my crops have been sufficiently watered. I’m now concerned about oversaturation. And weevils.” I waved my hands over my crotch. “You know, in my twat.”
“Jesus Christ,” he hissed as he dropped his head back and laughed, before kissing me again. “Not gonna lie, I’m gonna miss you.”
I wrinkled my nose. “Me too.”
