I collapsed on his chest and Thomas started combing my hair with his fingertips while we recovered from the fuse.

“That's very good...” I confessed.

“I thought you didn't want to have your sleep interrupted to have sex with me.”

“I just didn't want the girls to see.”

“I don't want to either.” He stroked my cheek with his thumb. “We'll work it out.” He pulled my chin and gave me a quick kiss.

“Now I need another bath.”

“Can I go along?”

“Will it just be a shower?”

“Maybe not.” He tilted his head to bite my neck in a way that made me shudder.

“Thomas, I have to work tomorrow!” I patted his chest.

“She's not the only one.”

“I just thought you might want to take advantage of me a bit more.”

“Do I enjoy you?” I widened my eyes.

“Yes.”

“You'd think so.”

“Then let me enjoy you.” He squeezed my ass, and I had no other impulse but to roll into him.

I knew I had to go to sleep; otherwise, I'd be on that lap all night.

“Are you smiling, sir?” Violet noticed me when I arrived at the office the next morning after dropping the three of them off at school.

“I haven't had such a good night in a long time.”

“Did you do any sightseeing?”

I shook my head no.

“I stayed at home.”

“Ah!”

“Let's get to work.” I changed the subject so that she wouldn't insist.

“Yes, sir. Do you need anything?”

“I'd like a coffee and the latest cases we're working on and the members' reports on them.”

She nodded, but before she could walk away, I called out again.

“Can you tell me if the drinks distributor has paid for the agreements?”

“I think it's scheduled for the end of the week.”
