"Hi, Cord.Um, I think you guys butt-dialed me.I was going to hang up, but I heard Cassia making weird noises and thought maybe something was wrong.And then I realized that, well…those weren'tI'm dyingmoans."Raven coughs like she's embarrassed…or trying not to laugh.Jesus Christ.
Cassie yelps, coming wide awake with a screech.She jumps off my lap so fast she elbows me in the ribs as she dives for the desk, frantically searching for her phone."Wrong number!"she cries."Cord and Cassia don't live here anymore.We don't speak English!This business is closed!"
Raven cracks up.
Cassia knocks her mouse off the desk before she finally finds the phone."This number has been disconnected and is no longer in service.Try again never!Love you, bye!"she yells before stabbing the button to end the call.And then she droops forward, groaning.
I shake my head, trying like hell not to laugh.
"I think I have to fake my death and move to China now," she whispers.
"Hell no," I growl, dragging her crazy ass into my arms."You aren't moving anywhere, pretty baby."
"My sister-in-law just heard you doing dirty things to me!"
I doubt now is a good time to tell her that half the damn county has heard me doing dirty things to her at this point.She's loud when I get inside her…and I love to get inside her.Instead, I kiss the shit out of her.
"Let's clean you up and go cook dinner," I murmur against her lips."Tonight, I'll do more dirty things to you to make you forget all about it."
"Fine.But I still think I should move to China."
"No can do, princess."I nip her bottom lip and then set her on her feet."But I'll make you Chinese for dinner."
She smiles up at me, her expression softening even though her face is still bright red."I knew there was a reason I married you."
"Oh, yeah?You married me for my cooking?"
"Uh, heck no.I married you for your obsession with dessert, cowboy," she says and then dances out of my reach, laughing.
