“Even Tempie makes it her mission to provide sustenance to our pets on the rare occasions she’s the first one up and they need feeding.”

I found this entirely easy to believe.

“It’s nearly ten?” After asking this, I took a sip of coffee and came instantly alert in a way I would be until tomorrow at that hour with the power-packed punch of caffeine I just swallowed.

“You were insatiable last night. You kept me up very late,” he explained instead of answering my question.

“I was insatiable?”

“You have a very greedy mouth,” he paused, “and pussy.”

“Ugh,” I grunted.

He angled in to kiss my neck.

“I’m not complaining,” he said when he pulled away.

“Well, I am. The condoms have to go, Your Grace.”

He raised his brows.

“I have an IUD. And I’m clean.”

It was my turn to raise my brows, and I did it over my mega strong cup of coffee.

“I don’t go in unprotected, sweetheart.”

I could see why.

He had a lot to take for someone who was up for taking it that way, and I would suspect there were many women who were.

“Your call,” I said to the coffee.

“I mean no offense, Vivi,” he said gently.

I focused on him. “Honey, I get it. You’re loaded. It should be your choice, just as it should the woman’s.” I smiled at him. “You’re deft with application.” My smile died. “I just want it to be as good for you as it is for me.”

“That’s very sweet, darling.” He came in for a lip brush. “I’ll bear it in mind.”

“All I ask.”

“But I’m concerned you have any fears it wasn’t good for me.”

“I said as good.”

His eyes twinkled. “Ah. Rest assured, I do believe it was as good. I promise.”

“Mm,” I hummed.

“Now, the question is, are we going to attempt to eat this?” He gestured to the tray.

I reached to grab a spoon and stuck it in the oatmeal.

It remained on end.

I turned to him. “I think…no.”

“I don’t even believe Bartie would clean that mess for us, and he eats everything. I’ll go down and see if there are some croissants.”
