“Can I hire someone to get you packed?”
“No, lover boy. I’ll be packing myself, and you can help me. It’s a good way to go through your things and see what you need and what you want to get rid of.”
He sighed. “Fine. Can we christen every room in the house to celebrate you moving in with me?”
“I can agree to those terms, but we’ll have to start later,” I said as his forehead fell against mine.
“Why?”
“Because it’s Sunday, and we’re supposed to be at your parents’ house in ten minutes for dinner.”
“Well, we could call and say that you’re knocked up with child and have morning sickness.” He waggled his brows.
“We’re not saying that. We’re going to dinner,” I said, and he pouted.
“Fine.”
“How about we go a little late? We’ll just call and tell them that we had to stop at the store to get some erectile dysfunction medication for you on the way there.” I smiled up at him, and he chuckled.
“I’m fine with that deal, if it means I get thirty minutes with you.”
“Well, I signed up for the lifetime membership, so you can have me anytime you want.” I tugged his head down.
“I want you right now, angel,” he whispered.
His lips crashed into mine, and he kissed me.
And let’s just say—it lasted a lot longer than thirty minutes.

Bridger
Easton
First I have to deal with Archer having the world’s oldest nanny, which means he never shows up for pickleball. And now Axel has Henley over at his ranch every other day helping him with paperwork. You two need to hire some fucking help.
Rafe
Lulu is over there now. What’s the deal, Axel?
Axel
I’ll tell you what the deal is. Business is booming and Loraine quit with no warning and left town with some random dude. I have no idea how anything works. She did all the invoicing, and she ran payroll. I’m so fucked.
Emilia said she was over there this morning, and there are piles of invoices that have yet to be sent.
Archer
Do you want me to send over Mrs. Dowden to help you today?
Clark
Is he joking right now? Eloise and I are on the road for the playoffs, so we can’t offer any help, but I do not recommend hiring Mrs. Dowden.
