He was warm enough to melt an iceberg.

He drew back and kissed her forehead before turning her around on his lap.

Both Salem and Roman were back. Roman was frowning as he checked something on his phone while Salem laid out the picnic.

“Everything okay, Rome?” she asked worriedly.

“I’m just trying to work out if we are meeting your nutritional needs. Not that there is anything wrong with the way you look,” he said hastily, no doubt remembering their earlier conversation about this. “You’re just a bit pale.”

“Am I?” she asked Alexei.

“Um, are you gonna get mad at me if I agree? Because you are rather close to my family jewels and I like my spaghetti and meatballs right where they are.”

“Bloody hell,” Salem said. “Is it possible to have one meal where you don’t talk about a body part?”

“Probably not,” Alexei replied.

“I really don’t think you need to worry that much about what I eat,” she said. “Rome?”

He looked up, blinking. “But I don’t want you to get sick.”

“I never get sick. I’m fine. Can we just eat?” She didn’t want him to get focused on her diet.

He frowned. “Well, all right.”

Salem shifted closer and held some breadstick to her mouth. She blushed and tried to reach for it but then realized that she had gloves on. But when she tried to take them off, Roman reached over and grabbed her hands.

“Don’t take those off,” Roman bossed. “You’ll get cold hands.”

“Salem isn’t wearing gloves,” she protested.

“That’s Daddy to you, Bunny,” Alexei told her, his breath warm against her ear.

Whoa.

Why was that sexy? Seemed her ear was rather sensitive. Before she could get him to do it again, Roman reached over and tugged her hat more firmly over her ear.

Bummer.

“Daddy isn’t wearing any gloves,” she said.

“Daddy isn’t you,” Alexei told her. “He can choose whether he wears gloves or not.”

“And I can’t?”

“That’s right,” Alexei replied. “You can’t.”

“Well, that doesn’t seem fair.”

“Eat,” Salem said firmly. “You must be hungry, you haven’t eaten since lunch.”

Hmm. Probably not a good idea to tell him how she could go days without eating. A few hours was hardly even noticeable.

She leaned forward and took a bite of the breadstick.

Yum.

The others started to eat. Apparently, they were all allowed to be out here without gloves.
