Grin widening, he reached across the counter. “I’m not sure I know what you’re talking about.”

“I’ll kill you.”

“If I let you suffocate me with your pussy, does that count?”

I backed away another step. “No pussy for you, Cain.”

“Really?” he growled, our eyes locked.

Enough.

I straightened and placed my hands on my hips. “Kai, if Milly finds out—” A breath later, I was spitting and blinking away flour. “You son of a bitch!”

His hearty laugh was all the distraction I needed to make my move. In a blink, chaos ensued between us. Flour, salsa,beans, and even Milly’s freshly shredded cheese went airborne, covering our bodies and every surface in that kitchen.

It was madness—complete and utter madness—but neither of us cared. We fell to the floor in fits of laughter, and he pulled me onto his lap.

A tingly feeling circled my belly, and I suddenly felt the world’s weight wash away, even for just that moment. The sensation traveled through me and made me feel light and carefree, like that little girl so many years ago.

“I’m sorry,” he chuckled, picking black beans from my hair.

“No, you’re not,” I laughed, as I smeared the mess across his face.

“How badly is she going to kill us?”

“Us? Milly is like a second mother to me. She barely knows you. It’s been fun, Cain.”

“That’s some traitorous shit, wife,” he joked, his mouth on my neck.

“Did you just…eat off me?”

Kai’s chest shook with laughter. “Best I ever had,” he said with another lick.

“You’re disgusting.”

He tightened his hold on my body and pushed to his feet, taking me with him. “Baby, I’ll be fucking filthy for you any day. Come on.”

“Was this your plan all along to get me naked again?” I asked, circling my arm around his neck. “There are easier ways to get laid without making a mess.”

“This way is double the fun.”

I was smiling like a fool. “Agreed.”

“Icould get used to this.”

I smoothed out my hair and handed Kai the helmet. “Maybe I should buy my own.”

“Maybe. But I’m getting used to you riding with me,” he said, placing the palm of my hand over his heart. “Always enjoyed the solo aspect of the ride, but with you, it is just something else.”

“You’re just Mr. Romantic, aren’t you? You’re going to get laid tonight, Cain. Stop trying so hard.” I clapped his chest and moved toward the iron gate surrounding the home of my father’s business partner, who also happened to be the CEO of the security detail hired at our wedding.

“Why on foot?”

“In case we have to make a quick exit. Wouldn’t want to get trapped inside.”

Holly’s SUV pulled up behind us. “You brought the calvary.”
