“I knew it. You’re such a badass businesswoman. Are you home?”
“No, that’s why I’m calling. There’s a big storm and the roads are flooded. I stopped at a hotel for the night but I need you to look in on Montgomery for me again, if that’s okay.”
Her sister groaned. “Babe, I’m in New York with Brick and Dug. I had to see my new editor and do a local signing at B&N. Did you forget?”
“Crap, I did. Sorry, my brain is elsewhere nowadays.”
Aspen snorted. “Yeah, with your hot new lover who’s giving you a thousand orgasms. You’re probably brain dead.”
“Stop. We haven’t slept together yet.”
“What are you waiting for? God, you must have cobwebs in your vagina!”
Sierra burst out laughing. “Bitch.”
Aspen laughed with her. “Call Kane. I’m sure he’ll love to babysit.”
“Doubt it. Montgomery scratched him up the last time we were together.”
“Ouch. Well, maybe a bonding retreat will be good for both of them. I’m glad you’re safe, though. Gotta go!”
“Okay, love you, bye.”
She hung up. Then called Brooklyn, but one of the kids was sick so she couldn’t do it. Inez was out on an overnight date. Which left…
Sierra scrunched her nose in thought but made the call.
“Hi, beautiful. How did it go?”
She shivered at the sound of his deep, sexy voice. Tingles exploded between her legs as she remembered their last hookup. God, the way he’d stroked her and brought her to orgasm. The expert way his tongue and teeth and fingers played her body, forcing her to the edge and keeping her there. Demanding she say his name.
Sierra cleared her throat. “Hi. It went well.” She repeated the details and they chatted a bit. “I actually have a favor to ask. I had to stop at a hotel because of the storm. And I forgot Aspen and Brick are in New York. Inez and Brooklyn can’t do it either. So, I was wondering—”
“If I can take care of Mo?”
“Montgomery. Yes, if that’s not a problem? He needs fresh food and water and maybe you can stay overnight so he’s not lonely?”
There were a few beats of silence. “Are you trying to get me killed, Sierra?”
She swallowed a laugh. “He’s not going to hurt you. He sleeps in the bed with me now and is really sweet. I swear.”
“Sure. He’ll have even more opportunity to claw at my sensitive body parts. One specific one I really need in good working order.”
“Kane, you just can’t give him a hard time. He’ll probably stay in the sunroom if you’re there anyway. I doubt he’ll even try to sleep with you.”
Kane sighed. “I really wanted another pussy in my bed. But I don’t want you to worry so I’ll do it.”
She giggled. “Clever. Thank you—I appreciate it.”
“How much?”
“A lot.”
She heard his tongue click over the line. “Hmm, I’ll collect later. Let me head out. Talk tonight.”
He hung up and she stared at the phone in surprise. What could he possibly want from her when they were in two different states?
Sierra shrugged. Guess she’d find out later.
