“Hypocritical?” I answer for him.
“Maybe a little.” He laughs nervously. “What about guns?”
“No, guns are too hard to move.”
“Prostitution?”
“Yes, but—” I hurry to add, “my dens are clean and secure.”
“I doubt most restaurants could say that.” He giggles.
“And I take the health and safety of my staff seriously. More than a few people have learned the hard way not to fuck with my girls and guys.”
“You have male… workers?” He sounds pleased by that fact. Like I’m not being sexist by only having women.
“I do, but no one is as pretty as you, rabbit,” I purr.
“What about the women?”
“No one is as pretty as you,” I say firmly, and this isn’t the first time he’s mentioned something about women. He must still be insecure, but we’ll work on it.
“You say that you’re not a good man, but I think, you’re a man who does bad things but isn’t a bad man.”
I don’t want to tell him that I enjoy doing the bad things, but as far as sinners go, I won’t be the first one thrown into the fire.
“You’re very sweet, rabbit.”
He turns to straddle my lap, and we trade lazy kisses between bites of food. His mouth tastes like blueberries and syrup, but when his hand slides down my chest to brush a nipple, I know he’s got more questions.
“How many times a day do you need to… pump?”
“Twice is usually enough. Once in the morning which you already took care of, and then once before bed.”
“Will you let me again?”
“Rabbit. Now that I’ve felt your perfect lips, I never want to use the pump again.”
“Good because I really liked it.” He looks down shyly. “If I ever have to miss one?—”
“Not going to happen, but I’ll pump.” He grins, and my lips touch his in a sticky kiss. “You have the most gorgeous lips.”
“I know.”
“And you’re so humble,” I tease.
“If you say it’s true then it is, because you’re the boss.”
“That’s right.” I kiss his nose. “Now let’s get cleaned up, and then we can get going.”

“Oh! Before we go, I need to check on my pixie garden. Do you want to come out and see?” You did buy my newest additions.
“Of course.”
I run to the door but stop when Lex touches my shoulder.
