“I know that. I do. But I still can’t stop worrying. She wants to go back to work as soon as the bruises fade, I don’t know if I can let her go that long.”
“You both have to keep living your lives. You can’t put them on hold. And if you try to hold her back, she will start to resent you for it. Besides, you know where she works now. You can take her to lunch or pick her up from work.”
“If she still has a job. She’s worried about what they will say now. If this had all been tied to them, that would be different. But it wasn’t. It was all due to Randy.”
“Hello, lover. It’s been so long.”
I cringed at the cold hands suddenly running up and down my bare chest. Behind me, Bunny rubbed her cheek on my back.
Before I could say a word, her hands were gone, and she was screeching.
“Back the hell off, skank. You’ve been warned time and time again. You spied, you shared information you shouldn’t have, and you nearly got us all killed. Get gone before I make you join your little boyfriend permanently.”
“Holy hell, that was hot.” Keith whispered.
I nodded silently, watching my girl scowl down at the little runt. Bunny’s eyes jumped between Fiona and me, settling on my shirt that she was wearing. It was one of my favorites, one Bunny no doubt recognized.
“Baby?” She looked at me pleading, like she was honestly confused at what was going on.
I moved behind Fiona, wrapping an arm around her, and kissing her neck softly. “I told you to stay in the car.”
“You took too long, and then I saw her walking up behind you. You know how I feel about others touching you.”
I hummed and nibbled. “I do. I would do the same.” My eyes lifted to Bunny’s incredulous expression. “You know the rules, Bunny. You keep breaking them. You’ve already been fired and warned. Come back again, and you will pay the permanent consequences.”
I took Fiona’s hand and dragged her around the pile of trash, not wanting her to dirty herself any more than she already had. “Take out the trash, Keith.”
“Yes, sir. Let’s go… come on… That’s it...” His voice died away as I pulled Fiona around to the back of the building.
I immediately pressed her against the wall. “That was the hottest thing I have ever seen.”
She giggled. “It felt really good. Protecting what’s mine.”
I kissed her roughly, then forced myself off her. I began pulling her again. “Not in a dirty alley. You are better than that.” I pulled her through the back door, and into the elevator.
Fiona stopped my hand before it could reach the screen to call the elevator. With an evil little smile, she put her own thumb on the pad and called it. I growled out a laugh and pulled her back to me.
“Forget to tell me something, princess?”
