Her mind went over the last few days.She would remember it for the rest of her life.
She felt his hand run up and down your arm.“Wake up, mate.We are home.”
She nodded and stretched.
“Jesus, I’ve had you twice today, and just watching you right now makes me want to strip you and fuck you until we can’t walk.”
She shivered, which made him curse.
“You’re not helping,” he told her.
She smiled up at him as he unlatched her seatbelt, took her hand to help her stand, and then led her out of the airplane.
“Let’s get you home.I can tell you’re tired, and I wouldn’t mind a nap.”
She snorted.“Are you talking about a real nap or one where we don’t sleep at all?”
“I will try my very best to let you sleep.”
Jessica rolled her eyes and then slid into the car that came to pick them up.
She lightly dozed against Gideon as they sped through the city toward his house.
When they got home, Lucie and Addy were at the front door with huge smiles.
“Welcome home, and congratulations,” Lucie said.
“I’m so happy for you,” Addy said.
Jessica smiled at the two.They had been so lucky to be able to take them with her to live with Gideon.They had hired a few more people, like more security and another maid for Addy, who also helped Lucie in the kitchen.But these two would always have a special place in her heart.
“We made a cake and have a tray of snacks in your room.There will also be a meal in the warmer for later.The three of us girls are going out to eat and see a movie, so you’ll be on your own.”
Jessica hugged them.“Thank you, guys.I’ll tell you all about it tomorrow.”
Addy smiled.“I love the picture of you two and Elvis.”
Gideon and Jessica laughed.
“It was fun,” Jessica said.
“We’ll see you both tomorrow morning unless you need something before we go,” Lucie said.
“No.Have fun.You have worked hard since you’ve been here, and I don’t want you to get burnt out,” Gideon said.
Jessica squeezed his hand.It made her feel good when he cared about her people, now his, as much as he did.
Jessica nodded.“I agree.Go have fun.”
Gideon led her up the stairs and into their room.She tossed her purse on one of the chairs and started to unbutton her blouse.
“I’m going to shower and then lie down.Flying always makes me feel grungy,” she said.
“I will, too.I would say together, but we both know where that would lead, and I really need you to get some sleep.”
“My, don’t I have a sweet husband.”
He scowled.“Sweet?No one has ever called me that.”
