“Wait,” Konni said, pulling out his phone.“Can you say that again?Make sure you’re looking at the camera, please.”
She threw a tomato at him, which he caught and tossed back.
“Keep it up, and I’ll call her back and say I changed my mind.”
He went to rub her shoulders while complimenting her hair and asking if she’d gotten it cut recently.She wasn’t buying his flattery and batted his hands away, only to hug him.
“You’re lucky you’re cute,” she muttered.
He grinned at me over her head.
“You’re not that cute,” I said.
She laughed and told him to sit down so she could serve breakfast.
“What are you two doing today?”I asked when we were all seated.
“I’m helping your mother dig a little deeper into the jobs she lost.Nothing dangerous.Just a few calls to friends to gossip.Since you’re both still trending in the news, it’s a great lead-in.”
“Good idea,” Konni said.
She beamed at him, and Mom chuckled, so much more relaxed here than when we’d been on our own.As much as I hoped we’d find out who was behind the fire quickly, for our safety, I also wanted it to take some time so we’d have no reason to leave.
They waved us off at the door, and I waited until we were on the main road to look at Konni.
“Lianna’s desperation is showing if her mom called.I don’t think it’ll be too much longer before something happens.”
He glanced at me, worry furrowing his brow.“Don’t do anything alone.”
“Pfft.You should worry more about yourself.She’s got it so bad for you, you might end up pregnant if you drop something in front of her.”
“I’m serious, Sophia.”
“So am I.If she touches your dragon parts because you’re not taking my warning seriously, don’t come crying to me.Actually, if she touches you, you’re in quarantine for a month.One-night stands don’t have standards.Relationships do, and I won’t accept seconds.”
The car swerved to the shoulder, and I found myself caught by Konni’s golden gaze and the strong hand holding the back of my neck.At first, I thought I’d upset him.The hungry way he looked at me corrected that thought.
“Humans might not do jealousy, but it’s my catnip, Sophia.”
Then he was kissing the daylights out of me.
After a week of sex whenever and wherever I wanted, I shouldn’t have felt so desperate to have him again, but I was.My hand slipped under his jacket, and I petted his chest.
All of Konni was my catnip.His body.His moods.The way he watched me as if he couldn’t get enough.I wanted it all.
He broke off the kiss, breathing heavily, and set his forehead to mine.
“We can be home in five minutes or to the office in thirty.You choose.”
“We’re going to the office, but no sex,” I said, understanding what he wanted.
He groaned, and I leaned in to kiss his Adam’s apple.
“We’ll have all the time in the world tomorrow to do what you want.”
I liked toying with him.He always gave me the aggressive attention I wanted.
After he kissed me dizzy again, he drove us to the office.We were almost there when Marius called.
