“My hero.” I grinned up at him. “Onion rings too, please.”
He rose to his feet. “You got it.”
After he left, I took a few minutes to freshen up a little and then resumed my place on the sofa. The tickle of his stubble woke me, and I smiled as I opened my eyes. “You were quick.”
He chuckled. “Been back for almost an hour.”
I frowned. “Really? Why didn’t you wake me?”
“You needed to sleep. Come eat. Then you should go to bed.”
“Are you staying?”
“Yeah, baby, I’m staying.”
I smiled again and forced myself to get off the sofa and eat. “What do you think of Knight?”
“Why?” he asked in suspicion.
“Because Kim likes him, but you can’t tell him that.”
“Not in junior high, Dani, I can guarantee this conversation won’t leave the room.”
I smiled. “So?”
“Knight’s a good guy. Don’t know him as well as his brother, Ace, but he seems cool. Knight works atBlushwhen he’s not in vet school. He kinda keeps to himself, but he’s super tight with his family.”
“How old is he?”
“I don’t know, Dani. We don’t sit around and do each other’s nails.”
I rolled my eyes. “Well, then what good are you to me?”
“If you’d rather I get personal information from Knight than eat your pussy and make you come, let me know, baby. But that’s kind of a deal breaker for me, ’cause I’m not really interested innoteatin’ your pussy and makin’ you come.”
I shivered. “Why do you have to make everything sound sexy?”
He laughed. “It’s my gift.”
“Apparently.” I took another bite of my burger and swallowed. “So, whatdoyou know about Knight?”
“He’s hard workin’, his brother’s FBI, but we don’t hold that against him.”
“Wait. His brother’s FBI, but you freaked out that my brother’s a detective? How does that work?” I challenged.
“Freak out’s a little melodramatic, don’t you think?”
“Is it?”
“Baby, if I was worried about your brother, you and I wouldn’t be together.”
“Liar,” I retorted. “You locked onto me and I didn’t have a lot of choice in the matter.”
He raised an eyebrow. “Someone’s sassy.”
I smiled. “I have to be to keep up with you.”
He leaned forward and kissed me, despite my burger breath. “I like you sassy.”
