Satisfaction hits fast and low. Prescott 1: Cooper 0.
I add a few more shallow thrusts, just to be obnoxious. Just to remind her who's her daddy. I laugh at my own dirty thoughts.
Then I see her smirk as she reaches down, lifts the hem of her shirt, and flashes me through the glass. Two full bounces. Quick. Shameless. Gone before I can even process it.
My brain short-circuits.
By the time I recover, she's already making a sharp slicing motion across her throat—pure menace, zero regret.
Behave.
I laugh, breathless, because I absolutely did not see that coming.
She turns away like she didn't just declare war.
My body immediately files a formal complaint and requests a rematch.
I straighten up, rolling my shoulders, and head inside.
Jane's in the kitchen area, innocently making coffee like she didn't just weaponize her chest.
"That was obscene," I say.
"What was? Your stretching?" Pure innocence. She doesn't even look up.
"You know what."
"I have no idea what you're talking about." She pours water into the coffee maker. "I was just adjusting my shirt."
"You bounced."
"Did I?" She glances at me, eyes wide. "Must have been gravity."
"Twice."
"Physics is unpredictable."
I cross my arms, leaning against the counter. "Don't start a fight you can't finish."
"Oh, I can finish." She hits the button on the coffee maker, then looks at me over her shoulder. "Maybe even by myself."
That does it.
I come around behind her, sliding my arms around her waist, pulling her back against me. "Is that right?"
"Mm-hmm." But her breath catches when I brush my lips against her neck.
"You sure about that?" I let my hands drift up, palming the delicious weight of those gravity-defying orbs. "BecauseI have some thoughts on the subject."
Unfortunately, my phone chooses this exact inopportune moment to ring.
I take one look at the caller ID and recognize it.
“I need to take this,” I give Jane a quick kiss on her cheek and then I’m already stepping toward the terrace.
“You pick the worst possible time to call,” I bark into the phone.
Then I listen.
