“Trust me. I haven’t forgotten.” I got up, took my plate, and walked down to the other end of the table. Are you coming?” I raised a brow at her.

She picked up her plate and sat down across from me.

“Your hot ass didn’t touch this area down here, so we’re good.” I smiled.

“Gotcha.” She winked.

“Start thinking about what you want to do after my meeting.”

“I would love to go to the zoo. There’s one only a few miles from here.”

“The zoo? Really?”

“Yes, the zoo. Do you have a problem with the zoo, Parker?”

“No. I haven’t been to the zoo since I was a small child, and my nanny took me.”

“Your nanny? Why am I not surprised?” She laughed.

“I’ll have you know that my nanny was one of the best.”

“I’m sure she was. Can I tell you how honored I am, your Majesty, to be the second person ever to explore the zoo with you?” She took a bow.

I sighed. “Why do you do that?”

The grin on her face widened. “Because I know it pisses you off.”

“Are you trying to raise my blood pressure, Emerson?”

“No,” she spoke with a twisted face. “Don’t forget to take your pill.” She smacked my hand as I reached for the saltshaker.

“A little bit of salt won’t kill me, but a little bit of Emerson just might.” I winked.

“Haha. Very funny, Parker.”

I got up from the table, grabbed my suit coat, and kissed Emerson on the top of her head. “I have to get to my meeting. When I return, we will go to the zoo.”

Chapter Twenty-Six

Emerson

I finished getting ready, and while I was waiting for Alex to return from his meeting, I poured myself a glass of wine and sat out on the balcony. Leaving Alex was probably going to be the hardest thing I’d ever done, but he’d be okay, and so would I. Never stay in one place too long.

I had just entered the room when the door opened, and Alex walked in.

“How did your meeting go?”

“It went great. Are you ready?” He asked as he kissed my lips.

“Yes.”

“Great. Just give me a second to go change,” he spoke as he walked into the bedroom.

As we walked through the zoo, Alex had a smile on his face. He enjoyed seeing the animals, and I found it to be quite a turn-on.

“OMG! It’s the lemurs. It’s King Julian!” I exclaimed.

“Who?” he asked.
