Page 211 of His Flash Mate
The next day at lunch,I watched Miranda put on sunglasses the moment I sat down at the table.
“Is she hungover?”I asked Wrenly.
“No.I’m being blinded by all the glowing you two are doing.When am I going to get laid so thoroughly that I trail off in the middle of a thought?”
“It’s baby brain,” Wrenly said defensively.
“Pfft.You went into his office completely normal and came out an hour later reeking of sex and unable to articulate.Don’t blame that innocent child you’re growing.”
“I’m so glad we get to do this every week,” I said, amused.“What’s new other than Wrenly’s willingness for office sex in a building full of people with noses like yours?”
Wrenly shot me a haughty look.“It’s perfectly acceptable and expected to need extra attention from your mate when pregnant.”
Miranda sighed.“I might never get to take these glasses off.”
“I’ll tell Bennett I’m swearing off office sex because you keep picking on me.”
The glasses came off.“You wouldn’t.”
Wrenly grinned.
“Well-played,” Miranda said, putting them away.“Nothing new or exciting for either of us, outside of Wrenly's increased libido.What about you?”
I gave them the highlights of what happened since our lunch last week.They applauded my achievements at work, laughed over my pond retelling, and drooled over my new purse.Well, Miranda did.Wrenly was a lost cause when it came to igniting any fashion love.
“And I’m leaving at two to go shopping at Zellon with Konni’s mom,” I finished.
“Bestie, do you need me to come with you to help you carry your bags?”
“Not happening,” Wrenly said.“You already promised Mom you’d help with the meeting today.”
Miranda gave me a pleading look.
“I promise to send pictures and consult with you before making any purchases or design requests.”
“Design requests?”Miranda repeated with a pout.“You’re getting a custom piece?”
I shrugged.“She didn’t say what this visit was for but previously mentioned getting me something for my welcome party.”
“I’ve been watching for an invite,” Wrenly said.“Good thing you told me the date already so I can block it off.It seems like everyone wants to invite us to something lately.”
“Hopefully, all the other people are booked by the time the invites are sent.Which might not be until after the reservation at the rate we’re going.”
“You have a solid plan,” Miranda said.“Trust the process and Steele’s influence.He’s not going to be content staying in the shadows for too much longer.”
She wasn’t wrong.
When I returned to the office, Edi didn’t even let me put my purse down before he was pointing toward Konni’s office.
The second I crossed the threshold, I found myself pinned against the closed door.
Konni’s lips skimmed my neck, trailing gentle kisses.
“I missed you,” he breathed.
“My poor needy dragon,” I said, threading my fingers through his hair and tilting my neck so he could do what he wanted.
He groaned at the invitation and kissed my lips hungrily instead.
