“You’re welcome. Thank you for last night.”
Klaue chuckled. “That was a joint effort, if I recall correctly.”
Jess laughed, blushing a bit more. “Maybe. Now, I assume you’re going to want to sleep that all off?”
Arctic blue eyes became slits. “Were you bribing me with breakfast?” he accused. “Because if so, there’s a good chance it worked.”
Waltzing over to his side, she planted a kiss on his cheek, feeling affectionate. “Not really, no, but Haley did invite me to come see her today.”
“She did? Good.”
Jess frowned. “Good? What, are you trying to get rid of me?” she joked, wondering at his abrupt approval.
“No, nothing like that,” Klaue said, grabbing her head before she could pull back and giving her a bacon-smelling kiss on the lips. “But today, I have to officially do work stuff. With Kirell on his honeymoon, that leaves me in charge of the guards, and unfortunately, I can’t quite delegate everything. Someone has to be in charge.”
“Ooooh, you’re in charge are you?” she mocked. “Big bad Klaue, giving orders.”
Klaue stood up, grabbing her hands and slowly pushing her back until she was against the wall, wrists pinned against it on either side of her head. Then he leaned in and very slowly, very thoroughly andverysteamily kissed her. Jessica was breathing a little heavier when he finally pulled back.
“I don’t remember you complaining about that,” he whispered in her ear, and then slipped from the room.
“Don’t you dare just leave me like that!” she called after him, watching as he disappeared into the bedroom.
Then he reappeared a moment later, but the sweatpants were gone.
“Then come here,” he ordered with a twinkle in his eye.
Biting her lip in anticipation, she obeyed.
