“I never thought I’d miss being in the hospital,” he complains.

Nova grins. “He loves me, really.”

Alessio’s eyes soften because, yeah, he really does.

“You want to come for dinner? We’re having the rest of the crew over. I promise not to have sex on the table while you’re there.”

“Jesus fucking Christ,” he groans.

She looks at me and winces. “Oops.” She looks a little nervous, so I kiss her, ignoring the motherfuckers around me.

“Fuck what anyone else thinks.”

“Okay,” she whispers before looking at Alessio. “Hurry up, if you’re coming. I’m hangry, and Vice’s arms will fall off from carrying me.”

“Bullshit. That man would carry you everywhere if you let him,” Alessio grumbles, following behind us.

“Don’t be jealous,” Nova teases him.

“Don’t you two have Valentine’s plans?”

“I wanted to spend it with all the people I love. Besides, how can he top last year’s Valentine’s?”

I look at Alessio and smirk.

“He gave you a human heart, Nova. You know who does that? A serial killer.”

She looks up at me with her arms wrapped around my neck.

“Serial killer, huh?” She squirms, making me laugh.

“That get you hot,bambola?”

“It’s possible we’ve just unlocked another kink.”

“I’ll bring the rope and my knife to bed with me later.”

“I’m right here!” Alessio yells, making Nova giggle.

“Conner called to thank you for his penis. Not something I ever thought I’d say,” Vice grumbles, lifting my feet and placing them on his lap. I let my eyes slip closed as he presses the insole with his thumb and starts massaging my foot.

“When I found the purple glittery wool, I knew I had to make him one.”

He chuckles as I yawn.

“How are you feeling?”

“Sleepy. Your daughter kept me up half the night, and you kept me up the other half.”

“I’m not even going to pretend to be sorry. There’s no place I’d rather be than inside you.”

“Yeah, well, I think slot A needs a rest from tab B.”

He lifts my leg and kisses the inside of my ankle, his hands trailing up the inside of my leg. His fingers stroke over my panties before he presses lightly against my ass.
