I breathe a heavy, annoyed sigh into the phone.“When I drown because I’m old, shriveled and thirty, will you still be this annoying?”

“If you drown, I’ll give you mouth to mouth.No more telling loser-assholes that I’m your ex.I’m your man, period.”

“You’re my ex andmaybemy man,” I argue, knowing I’m even kind of lying, but enjoying arguing with him.“Besides how do you know he’s a loser?He could have been a really nice guy.”

“He’s at a bar hitting on a woman who belongs to someone else at ten-thirty in the fucking morning.He’s a loser.”

Okay, it should be said that Liam is kind of smart in an annoying, bossy as heck, kind of way.I ignore that, choosing to concentrate on the other part of what he said.

“Belongs to someone else?You make me sound like an old bag you pack your workout gear in and take to the gym,” I mumble.

“I can give you a workout if you want,” he says, his voice deepening in pleasure.

“Tell me why I like you again.”

“My big dick?”

“Liam!”

“You going to deny it, Ice?”

“Please tell me you’re not standing in the middle of the church right now?”

“What would it matter?God knows he gave me a big dick and he knows you like it, too.”

“I may kill you.”

“You remember the way you used to cry out and moan when I’d fuck you, Ellie?Everyoneknew you liked my dick.”

I squirm in my seat, trying to ignore the way his words make my panties wet and my nipples harden.The problem is I do remember and God, I miss him.

“You’re impossible.”

“I’m horny, I need you.”

“You said you were going to give me time, Liam,” I remind him, closing my eyes because I want him just as badly.

“I will, but doesn’t change the truth.I need you, Ice.”

“I need you, too.I just…” I break off, because I don’t know what to say, I just know that taking the next step with him scares me.

“That’s enough…for now.”

I sigh.There’s so much I could say—so much I shouldprobablysay.But, I don’t.Instead, I change the subject because that seems safer for now.

“I take it that Wolf didn’t show up this morning?”

“Not so far, no.I don’t want to leave yet, though.I was just checking on you.”

Warmth fills me.“I’m good, Liam.”

“Yeah, you are,” he purrs quietly, making the warmth inside of me intensify.

What am I waiting for?

“Can you take a lunchbreak?”I ask.

“It’s probably not smart.”
