“Nah, it’s just a night alone together.Look in the box.”
She bent to flip open the flaps and found the pillows and blanket he’d asked them to leave behind.
“I was thinking we could re-create our first night here, when we made a camp in front of the fireplace.I think we even used that blanket.”
“We did.”She smiled up at him.“This is perfect.I hate to pack, and I hate to move.”
“You think I don’t know that?”
“What about the kids’ stuff?”
“It’s already been moved.It’ll be brought up to the residence tomorrow for them to go through what they want to keep and what can be donated.”
“You think of everything.”
“I didn’t want to waste any time with you.Shall we go make a camp?”
“Yes, please.”
They carried the pillows and blanket into their room.Nick lit the electric fireplace while she arranged the pillows on the floor.
“I remember thinking that having a fireplace in the bedroom was the most bougie thing I’d ever have in my life, but of course you had to go and top that a million times over with butlers and ushers and chefs.”
Smiling, he unbuttoned the peach silk blouse that he’d been dying to get his hands on since the moment she appeared in it earlier.Her stretchy black pants landed next to it on the floor a minute later, followed by his sweater and jeans.“I do what I can for my person.”
“Trademarked.”
“That’s not the exact phrase, so the trademark doesn’t cover it.”
“Quit being a smarty-pants if you want to get laid tonight.I already know you’re the smartest person in every room you’re in.You don’t have to keep proving it to me.”
“I’m just saying…”
“Clearly, there’s only one way to shut you up.”She went up on tiptoes to kiss his face off.“Thank you for this, by the way.”
“Anything for you.”
With the music still playing in the background, he spun her around and into a dip to lower her to their setup on the floor.
“Wow, smooth move, babe,” Sam said as he came down on top of her to nuzzle her breasts.
“I practiced that in my head before I did it.”
“I’d give it a ten out of ten for execution—and you didn’t throw your back out.That’s impressive.”
“Oh please, you’re lighter than a feather.”
“Sure I am.”
“I love every delicious curve.”He released the front clasp of her bra and pushed it out of his way.“I love your soft skin and the sexy scent of your skin and the way you taste.Everything about you does it for me.”
“I feel like I’ve said this before, but you know I’m a sure thing, right?”
Smiling, he said, “Don’t interrupt me when I’m on a roll telling you all the things I love about you.”He sat back to help her out of her panties and his boxer briefs before coming back to kiss her.
“I love being here all by ourselves.”
“With agents outside.”
