Adrik

Later that night, Sephie and I were finally alone in the penthouse. I didn’t wait for her to demand my shirt. I took it off as soon as I closed the door behind us. I pulled her to me, pulling her shirt off and throwing it on the floor so I could put my shirt on her. She had a sly grin on her face as she watched me button up my shirt after putting it on her. “You’re getting better at reading my mind,” she said.

“Maybe. Or maybe there’s something to seeing you in just my shirt that helps me relax,” I said as I unbuttoned her pants, sliding them over her hips.

“Well, seeing you relax helps me relax, so who am I to deny you?” she asked. She had a mischievous grin on her face.

“Could you deny me even if you tried, my love?” I asked, picking her up and walking toward one of the couches.

She giggled. It was exactly what I needed to hear. “Okay, so I’ve proven to fail miserably at that pretty much every time I’ve tried.”

“It’s the same reason I don’t even try,” I said, setting her down. I smiled down at her, taking her hand and pulling ber into my lap as I sat down. She was still laughing when she straddled my lap. “I needed to hear your laugh, solnishko.”

She leaned in and pressed her lips to mine gently. “I needed to laugh,” she said. “I’m glad we got to go to the house this past weekend. I find myself wanting to go back. Each day seems to bring some new drama that makes me want to punch something.”

I decided to bring up what I’d felt in the office. “I think we should talk about what happened in the office. It was definitely different this time.”
