“Fine, I just—” She shook her head. “You guys just surprise me, that’s all.”
She smiled.
“We are pretty simple people, just your average sex, murder and adrenaline junkies,” I said, sitting down.
“Never change,” she said, as King wrapped his arms around her from behind and looked right at me.
I didn’t need words to know what he was thinking. We should buy her a house. Something that was ours and closer to each other.
“Come on, let’s eat,” I said, as I got up and kissed her softly. “I’m starving.”
She kissed King before walking to the kitchen naked and still in the damn heels. We might not make it through dinner if she kept those on.
“Maybe we should start looking for houses,” King said.
“Yes, sir,” I said, grabbing my phone and starting the search. I didn't know what she wanted, but I knew it had to be close to both of us and have a tub. She always said she wanted to soak in a tub. Maybe we needed a sex room too and a torture room too. This house might be bigger than we needed it to be, but it was going to be worth it if I could fall asleep with King and my Little One every night.

“This is a great security system,” Winchester said as he looked at the monitors and god knows what else Mars had hooked up yesterday.
“It was expensive as hell, so it better be good,” I said, looking at the security set up that was somehow hooked up to an iPad and also my phone if I wanted it to be.
“Did he put some cameras in the forest behind us like I suggested?” Ruger asked, crossing his arms standing next to Winchester.
“Yeah, this screen is everything around us,” Winchester said, pointing out different areas on a screen.
All this tech was giving me a headache, and I wished I knew more than just how to work my phone, but I guess this is what I paid people to do. I had a few interviews lined up for this afternoon to talk about a few new positions I needed while Winchester and Ruger did a delivery for me.
It was an old contact from Kris that I had actually dealt with before, so there was no surprise when Blake had heard I had taken over. He was actually happy that I had, and I told him I would make sure he was taken care of. So, I wasn’t needed atthis delivery and I was glad. If I could manage the rest of the deliveries like this, I could focus on so much more.
“The truck is loaded up,” Lance said as he came into the room.
“Great,” I said, nodding at him to follow me out of the room. “This should be an easy deal, but just stay alert.”
“Yes, Ma’am,” he said, giving me some files.
“Everyone’s coming in today, Mav also has a copy too,” he said.
“Mav?” I raised a brow at him. “Pet names now?”
He rolled his eyes at me. “No, and don’t look into it.”
“Oh, now I definitely am!” I called out as he walked away from me.
Did he have a crush? I felt like she would eat him alive, but hey, maybe he liked a woman in control and I think Lance would look good on his knees. I smirked as I looked through the files walking to my office.
“Hey sugar tits,” Maverick said as I walked into my office. She had already made herself comfortable as she sat in my chair with her feet up on my desk.
“Maverick, must you put your dirty ass boots on my desk?” I glared at her.
“You took forever to get here, and I was just getting comfortable,” she shrugged, putting her feet down. “I looked at the files and I like these the best.”
“Ok, let me look through these and see if we matched on any of these,” I said as I finished looking through my pile.
She threw a knife in the air as she looked through her phone, not bothering to look at it, catching it by the handle every single time. Maverick was feared just as much as her male counterparts and I’d be a liar if I said I wasn’t jealous of her. No one protected her, she did that herself, and her reputation was widely known.Men didn’t fuck with her because she would flay them alive. I wanted that. I needed that.
