“You keep saying you’ll spank me, then you back off.” Her eyes popped open as she swallowed.
She should have swallowed my dick.
“Bump’s in the way,” I snapped, annoyed when she took another bite of cake.
“You could bend me over the counter,” she replied after a couple seconds.
“Where would be the advantage to that?”
“What do you mean?”
“Half the fun of a spanking is that you get to wiggle against my boner and that I can finger fuck you over my lap.”
Her eyes flared with interest for a second before she retorted, “Then you should stop with the teasing.”
“It’s not a tease. It’s supposed to be a threat.”
She chuckled at that. “Okay,” she told me, like I was a moron.
Grunting, I stepped deeper into the kitchen and snagged her green tea. As I took a sip, I murmured, “Where did you think I’d be?”
“What?” She frowned at the sight of her cup in my hand. “There’s a full teapot.”
“I want yours.”
“Brat.”
Her grin made a swift appearance when I told her, “Takes one to know one.”
“I didn’t think you’d be anywhere.”
“Bullshit. Did you set up that intervention?”
She sniffed. “Maybe. Maybe not.”
“Why would you do that? I was only trying to look out for you.”
“Don’t make out like I hurt your feelings, Eoghan,” she told me. “You weren’t the one left hurting after that conversation last week.”
That was where she was wrong.
“What did you do?”
“I told Savvie that you’d bought me some dresses. When I showed her, I could tell she’d seen them before, and let’s face it, Savvie doesnotfind her outfits in the maternity section.
“I wormed your little ploy out of her, and after everything with the dean, I wanted to make sure you were okay.
“If she talked about it with Aidan, I knew he’d end up calling in Conor. I just never imagined you’d start talking about leaving me a few days later!”
“So, instead of just discussing this with me, you decided to get them involved?”
“Yes, because I knew you wouldn’t see reason.”
“I knocked Aidan out, Inessa,” I told her, voice toneless.
She shrugged. “I’m sure he deserved it.”
“He told me that if I left, you’d shack up with another man.”
