I threw my head back with a laugh. “And you’re afraid he’s going to hear us fucking?”

After biting down on her bottom lip, Maeve said, “You can be really loud.”

“Me? Oh no, mydea del sesso, it’s you who is loud.”

Maeve’s hand came over my mouth. “Don’t call me a sex goddess.”

“Ah, you’ve been working on your Italian.”

“I have.”

Removing her hand, I countered, “It’s the truth.”

Although a pleased smile quirked on her lips, she shook her head. “Just not in front of him,” she said in a whisper.

“I’d say your secret is safe with me, but then he’s about to hear you.”

With a squeal of horror, Maeve started dragging me to the apartment door. Just before she could push me inside, she paused. Whirling around, she drew her shoulders back and abandoned me to walk over to Nolan.

He watched her with an expression of horror and apprehension. “Promise me that you won’t mention Rafe to my brothers.”

Grimacing, he argued, “Ms. Kavanaugh–”

She shook her head. “I mean it, Nolan. They’re not to know.”

“You don’t know what you’re asking of me.”

“That’s where you’re wrong. I know it’s a terrible thing to impose on you. But I ask you to remember me over the last year and then remember me today. Is the change in my happiness not worth keeping silent for?”

Even though I’d been majorly pissed at him, I had to give the fucker his due. He cared about Maeve beyond just being a target to protect. Since he appeared old enough to be her father, it was evident he possessed a fatherly devotion to her, which also did him credit that he wasn’t thinking about her sexually. I would’ve had to end him if he had.

As he jerked a hand through his brown hair, he exhaled a defeated breath. I knew then there was no way he could tell Maeve no. “Fine. I won’t say anything.” At Maeve’s squeal of happiness, he shook his head. “But if they ask, I won’t lie to them.”

Although her expression sobered slightly, Maeve nodded. “That’s fair.”

Nolan turned his attention from Maeve to me. “I assume you’re armed.”

“Always.”

“Then I’ll be downstairs guarding the elevator.”

Maeve rushed forward to throw her arms around his neck. “Thanks, Nolan.”

“You’re welcome, miss.”

After he pulled away from her, he gave me a disgusted look before he turned and started down the hallway. I scooped up Murphy from the ground and called Nolan’s name.

When he turned around, I said, “Take him with you.”

To my surprise, he didn’t argue with me. Instead, he reached in his jacket pocket for Murphy’s leash. After taking him from me, he walked back down the hallway.

Even before the elevator door was closed, Maeve jumped up into my arms, wrapping her legs around my waist. “Mmm, I’ve missed you so much,” she purred, as she brought my cock to life again rubbing against me.

“I’ve missed you more,Tesoro.”

With a sexy smirk, she asked, “Me or my pussy?”

My eyes bulged at her audacity. “Maeve Kavanaugh, when did you get such a filthy mouth?”
