Aleksei pulled out hisPalm, said to it “PullupShape’sdelivery,” and tossed it to his brother.
Tim caught it.
When this occurred,Lauradidn’t hide how delighted she was that he andTimwere making progress.
Aleece didn’t either.
They were doing so becauseTimwas making an effort.
He had lapses to the punk he used to be.
But evidence was suggesting the loss of his allowance and much of his freedom gave him time to think on things (they’d had to put him back into rotation for royal appearances with the absence ofErrol—they hadn’t quite agreed yet how they would explain that, but fortunately, no one seemed to have noticed he was gone).
Not to mention, it was clearTimwas still smarting from all that had happened withRol, and he’d turned that into an attempt to rehab his relationships with his other two siblings.
“Crabcakes,”Alekseiordered. “Anda lemon parfait.”
“Oh!Iwant a parfait too.Makemine chocolate,”Lauraordered.
“I want a lime tart,”Aleecesaid.
“Hold it, hold it, bloody hell,”Timgroused. “Oneat a time.”
“That’s all for me,”Aleecesaid.
“Me too,”Lauraadded.
Tim nodded, got up and moved out of the seating area so he could speak into thePalm.
“While you’re up, open another bottle,”Aleececalled after him.
He waved at her and left the room.
“Please tell me you guys got a bungalow out on the water onAnubis,”Aleecebegged.
Aleksei blew out an annoyed breath and looked to the ceiling.
“Wait.What?We’regoing toAnubis?”Laurabreathed.
“Yes,” he muttered to his mate and shot a killing look to his sister.
“Whoops.Sothat was a surprise?” she asked.
It was.
He returned his attention toLaura. “Yourvid starts shooting in a week.Wewon’t have long there, but we leave tomorrow morning, and we’ll be back two days before you have to be on set.Allainarranged everything withNata.”
Laura sentNovascampering since she’d thrown herself at her mate and was kissing him all over his face.
“You keep missing my mouth, love,” he teased.
She stopped fucking around and laid one on him.
He wrapped his arms around her, cocked his head and took over.
“See what happens when you don’t pay attention,Tim?”Aleeceshouted. “Theyget out of hand.”
“Gods,Ican’t unsee that,”Tim, obviously returning to the room, griped.
