I love this woman.

I want to say it.

A kind of pleading fills her soul-deep gaze, and I swallow.

Shit, shit, shit.

This is the moment. The moment we say the L word. We both know it.

Kaylee smiles painfully, her eyes dipping for a second. I smile back, my heart slamming inside my chest...

Her heels lower to the floor and Kaylee turns and heads across the room.

“Kaylee—” I start.

With a hand on the staircase banner she turns...and neither of us will ever know what would happen next because the elevator to my penthouse pings.

Both our eyes fly open.

Fuck.

Kaylee flies up the stairs, while I put my cock away and run my hand through my hair, ruffling it up, waiting to see which one of my siblings almost caught me fucking her on the kitchen counter.

“See. I told you he’d be cooking us dinner.” Atlas says to Knox as they wander in completely unaware. “Perfect timing.”

It really wasn’t.

It could have been worse, though.

“Don’t you two have wives?” I mutter and turn the gas back on the stove.

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

KAYLEE

––––––––

“Richard is coming to Thanksgiving.” Stephanie grins like an idiot over her margarita.

Whatevs.

I don’t want to be jealous but I am. Especially consideringRichard,which I say in my head with a posh English accent, is in fact a dick.

I knew he was the moment I saw his photo.

He uses Stephanie as his sex kitten and ignores her when he doesn’t want her. I’m sure he has about five other women.

But she is obsessed.

Exactly how is that different from what Levi and I are doing?

Levi isn’t seeing anyone else. I know that. If he is, he’s being very secretive and should work for the CIA after his football career is over.

We’re having so much sex that I can’t imagine him needing or wanting more.

My promise to myself that I’d walk away completely vanished and seems to vanish every day when I renew that vow.

So for months we’ve just fucked and kept our relationship a secret.
