Finn rubs a hand over his face.

“And some blackmail,” I add.

Finn’s eyes flicker with something that looks suspiciously like joy.

“I’ll take that one,” he says, voice low.

“I know.”

Chapter 107

HALLIE

Ilet out a yawn as I leave the hospital.

As the doors open, I hear the engine revving.

I know that beautiful sound anywhere.

I glance up and smile as Conan waves from inside his McLaren.

Before I even hit the sidewalk, he’s getting out of the car and striding toward me. I let out an excited yelp as he scoops me up and kisses me.

“Good shift?” he whispers, lips brushing my cheek.

“Yeah. So tired, though. This whole working-while-pregnant thing is tough. And I’ve not even hit the worst bit yet.”

“Have you been feeling sick today?”

I kiss him again.

He’s so damn cute when he’s worried.

“Only a little bit after lunch. I’m fine.”

His eyes search mine, and he sets me gently back on my feet.

“What can I do to help?”

“Nothing more than you already are.” I sigh, leaning into him. “Can we watch a movie tonight? Get some popcorn?”

He shakes his head slowly, that mischief glinting behind his eyes.

“I have something else planned.”

I narrow my eyes at him.

He grabs my hand, lacing our fingers together, and leads me to the car, opening the passenger door with a flourish.

We hit the road, and Conan taps his fingers against the wheel, humming under his breath.

“Where are we going?” I ask.

“To my lair.”

I roll my eyes.

“I’ve already seen that.”
