"Something indeed," I laugh and press a kiss against the side of her head. "Fuck, Gorgeous. You're amazing."

"Why, thank you," she answers but looks away when a blush tints her cheeks an adorable pink. And it definitely reminds me how she looked when she came. "We can definitely do that again."

"Well, I'm glad to hear that," I tease her, then I get up. "Want something to drink?"

Before she can even answer, I'm at the little refrigerator of my hotel room and grab a water to hand over to her.

"Nooo, are you getting into daddy mode?" She lifts her eyebrow at me, and I whip around to look at her over my shoulder. Honest to God, when she blushed, my cock was growing really interested but after hearing the dreaded ‘D’ word, I feel myself shrivel up. Ehw.

"Oh god, dear god, no." My expression must be so bad that it makes her giggle.

"I'm just kidding. Don’tworry, it’s not daddy kink I’m into."

She shoots me a wink as I hand her the water, then beckons me down to capture my lips in a quick kiss.

I shake my head at her with a grin and trot into the bathroom to get a towel, all the while one thing floating around my head.

Then what is her kink?

Adam

It's surprisingly tough to act like nothing happened between the two of us. Be it in the morning, when I catch her and Felix at breakfast after she snuck out of my room an hour earlier to go to hers to get dressed, or during today's meetings, when I can’t take my fucking eyes of her, last night playing over and over in my head.

And the best thing? Whenever she catches me staring, she blushes and it’s so fucking adorable, I need to fight against a grin.

Only Eve's elbow in my ribs manages to get me back to reality, although I think I can wave ‘paying attention’ goodbye for today.

"Adam's in love," she sing-songs in a whisper, clearly having too much fun, and I shake my head at her.

"Will you shut up?" I hiss at her, making the grin on her face widen.

"No, I will not."She grins at me, and I really want to wipe that smug smile off her face. "Notice how you didn’t deny it? But I’ll let you off the hook for now. The conference is almost done. Are you flying back immediately after?" she asks me, and I shake my head.

"Nothing's set in stone as of now." I take out my phone and scroll through our brothers’ group chat to see when I can have the jet. "But I think I’ll stay a here a bit longer; my room is booked until Monday anyway.”

“Do you have any plans?” She leans her chin into her propped-up hands and looks at me with narrow eyes. I know she’s itching to ask me about Lily, but I’m glad she’s not prying.

I shake my head at her question. “Reed wants me to get him some anime merchandise in Akihabara, wherever that is, so I guess I'm going there. And he said I absolutelyneededto go to a maid café so maybe that."

My thoughts wander back to Lily’s and my conversation very early on. She looked so amused talking about maid cafés, so I’m curious.

"A maid café?" Eve asks with wide eyes, just a tiny bit too loudly, raising her hands in an apologetic gesture when people turn around to stare at her.

"Sorry, sorry. A maid café?" she asks me again, this time more quietly when the nosy people turn around again.

"Why, what's so weird about that?" I raise my eyebrow at her. I’ve never heard of a maid café but with howthey’re reacting, I’m growing a bit suspicious. “Is it a code word for something sexual?”

"No, it’s not. Don’t worry. Ignore me," she says, just a tad too quickly, a suspicious smile spreading on her face. "I just... When you go to one, send me a picture, please. I need proof that you went."

"You're weird."

"Please just send me a picture." She looks at me with pleading puppy eyes and I shake my head at her.

"Maybe," I finally concede, and Eve pumps the air in victory, just as the end of the lecture is announced. When she realizes that, she rushes out of the room, pushing everyone else aside. She promised her fiancé a call during lunch, and it seems she’s pretty impatient about talking to him.

"So, a maid café," Lily says with a grin tugging at her lips. I startle. I didn’t even realize she’d come over. Where’s her assistant? Before I can even look around the room to check his whereabouts, she continues. "Don't worry, Felix went on ahead to get lunch for us at a convenience store. So, maid café."

"You mentioned them at the beginning of the conference and it sounded intriguing," I remind her, not missing the slight giggle that shakes her whole body, even though she tries to hide it by looking the other way.
