Eight in the morning meetings were dog shit, and I couldn’t fucking stand them.
But they were a necessary evil, and one that I dealt with because the meetings with my staff meant that I could keep the hours I wanted.
One day wouldn’t kill me.
But when a sexy, practically naked body curled up into my back, I momentarily forgot how tired I was.
“Come on, Piers,” she whispered. “You have to get up. You have exactly thirty minutes before you need to leave. Your daughter’s getting ready to leave for school and has been up for hours. At least someone got the morning genes. She must’ve gotten that from your ex.”
Normally, I was the type of man that would say he needed hours and hours of time.
But sleeping in the same bed for two weeks straight with the woman that I was crazy in love with curled up at my side meant that I didn’t care how long I had.
As long as I made it good for her…
“What are you doing?” she asked when I rolled over, displacing her body from mine.
When she was on her back, I moved down the length of her body, trying to ignore the green and brown bruises that I saw on her torso as I went past.
“Piers…” she gasped when I lifted the small, silk slip thing she wore to bed and pressed a kiss to her belly. “What are you doing?”
“Best way to wake up, I’m thinking,” I murmured. “Your pussy on my tongue might be the one thing I have to have when I get up early for the rest of my life.”
She hissed in a breath when I pulled her panties down her hips.
I managed to show some restraint despite wanting to rip them clean off of her.
I’d had to stop doing that because she’d run out of panties and she had just replaced them with new ones.
I found that one of my favorite pastimes was walking with her into a Victoria’s Secret and buying her panties that I could take off of her later.
Her voluptuous, perfectly curved hips wore the hell out of a set of lace panties.
I dreamed about her body every night, and when I woke up, I only daydreamed about it more.
The taste of her on my tongue woke me up completely, but it was the sound of her crying out that had my entire world righting.
“Pussy is better than coffee,” I teased as I crawled up the length of her body and kissed her.
She kissed me back, her hands going to my cheeks to hold me in place, before she pushed me away and reported, “You need to hurry.”
I winked at her and got out of bed.
Sadly, she was right.
I didn’t have time to fuck her.
I had forty-five employees who would get pissy if I didn’t make it there on time.
They didn’t like getting there early and more than I did.
When I made it out into the kitchen, it was to find Eedie and Hai hip to hip making sandwiches.
I’d hired Hai to work for me after he and Eedie had let it be known—no more hiding their relationship from the world—that they were together. Hai had been kicked out of the house, and now he was living in my spare bedroom with strict rules to never, ever have sex with my daughter under my roof.
I was sure the threat of dismemberment was futile, but I’d made it anyway.
Now both were making sandwiches for us to take to work today, and I couldn’t help but smile.
“What’s the point of the monthly meetings again?” Hai asked.
“To make sure that y’all know what y’all need to be doing for the month. And to give you free breakfast while I bitch about all the stuff y’all forgot to do last month,” I replied.
Hai grimaced. “I wasn’t here last month.”
“Nope,” I agreed. “But it’s mandatory. And you get free donuts,” I pointed out. “See you there.”
Eedie handed Hai his lunch, and I went to Silver who was holding mine out.
I grabbed it from her and said, “What’s your plan for the day?”
“Making sure that I still have a job, since you refused to let me go back last week.” She smiled. “I also need to go stock up on some essentials.” She hesitated. “Which badass do I have on me today?”
“Gunner, I think.” I frowned. “Jasper is supposed to meet me at work after the meeting.”
She studied my face for a long second before she said, “I like Jasper a lot, Webber.”
She’d figured out there was something wrong with Jasper and me, but she didn’t know what.
I was sure that Jasper could feel the tension I was exuding when he was around me, too. But I had to be sure.
And I couldn’t very well give this information to Apollo and let him look into it, because I didn’t want anyone else to know what was going on.
