“Someone to sort through reams of intel and pick out the useful stuff.”

I nodded. “Oh. That I can do.”

“I know. I may have just invented the position just for you. You could also be my personal assistant.”

“Does either position include sexual benefits? I’ve got a thing for the boss, you know.”

“It certainly does. All the cock you can handle.”

“I can handle alotof cock.” I touched my lips to his ear. “Remember the promise I made back in the hospital?”

“How could I forget?” He bit my earlobe.

“Think you’re up for it yet?”

“You want it right now?”

“Maybe we have some drinks with Kyrie and Roth first?”

He faked a disappointed growl. “Fine. I’ll wait. But I plan to be in your ass by midnight.”

Kyrie appeared at that moment, just in time to hear Harris. Her eyes widened. “Holy hell. Sorry. Wrong place to come in to the convo, I guess.” She took my hand. “Can I borrow Layla for a second, Harris?”

“Just have her back to me by midnight,” he said, winking at me.

She pulled me across the sand to the water’s edge, where the waves lapped at my bare feet and the edges of Kyrie’s incredible, custom-made dress. It was a strapless lace corset bodice, with a lace panel under her breasts, smooth, flawless satin hugging her incredible figure to pool at her feet. Beautiful, flattering, yet informal enough for a tiny beach wedding. “I just wanted to talk to you real quick,” she said. “I have something to tell you.”

I waited, but she didn’t immediately continue speaking. “Well? Out with it, hooker!”

“Roth and I, now that Vitaly is gone, we’re staying here. At this estate, I mean. More or less permanently. And I just wanted you to know that you’re welcome—”

I cut in. “Kyrie. Baby. Honey. Darling. You couldn’tpayme enough to live with you and Roth another day. Listening to you two fuck like bunnies all the damn time? I’ve had enough.” I bumped her with my shoulder. “Besides, I’m with Nick, now. I’m going to work for him at his security company, and will probably end up living with him.”

She eyed me. “Really?”

I nodded. “I really love him.”

“I’m happy for you,” she said, hugging me. “So happy I won’t even say ‘I told you so.’”

“You just did.”

A shrug and an innocent smirk. “Well, I did tell you so.” She took my hand. “Anyway, that’s not really the reason I wanted to talk to you.”

“What else?”

She laid a palm on her stomach, looking nervous, suddenly. “I…Roth and I—um. I’m…pregnant.”

I stopped walking abruptly. “You what?”

She shrugged. “While you were gone, I lapsed on my pills.”

“Does Roth know?” I asked.

She stared at me. “Does he know? He’s already building a nursery. He’s painted it pink. He’s absolutely convinced it’s a girl. I’ve tried telling him we won’t know for sure for another ten weeks at least, but he’s…just positive it’s a girl.” She had a dreamy grin on her face. “We’d been talking about it a little anyway, so it’s just…a little sooner than we were thinking, that’s all.”

“You’re having a baby.” I blinked hard, trying to wrap my head around a mini version of Kyrie and Roth. “Damn, girl.”

“That’s all you have to say?”
