That was for damn sure.
Now, she wanted to do something special for him, so she was going to surprise her man.
Getting changed, she put on a dress that she knew made his mouth water. Once it was on, Elizabeth looked innocent and sweet in it, and that was one of the things that always got his juices flowing.
Then, she snuck downstairs and rooted around in their kitchen for some treats.
Tasty ones other than herself.
She fed Babylon, let him out so he could have a bathroom break as he ran around in the snow, and then made sure he had a chewy to work on to keep him busy when she let him back inside to rest.
When the daily chores were done, she packed a picnic basket with the goodies she’d snagged.
This should surprise him.
It had been a while since they had one, and she knew she wouldn’t be able to keep him from his other duties for long.
If she was lucky, they’d have a quickie, and make some memories.
Today, Sam and Charlie were having a day to themselves, seeing some sights in DC. That was code for‘we need someprivacy because you two are up in our secret business’. They were likely seeing each other naked.
In a bedroom.
Elizabeth was no fool.
When they took time away, she and Chris got some too. With Tony working on papers of his own, and likely recouping from some debauchery he procured last night with some tawdry one-night stand, they were on their own.
Yeah, she loved a Saturday off from work.
When the basket was packed, she headed back upstairs, a blanket on her arm, and dirty intentions in mind.
Sue her.
She liked her ME.
A LOT.
At his office door, she didn’t even knock. Instead, she walked right in, catching him off guard as he was taking a call. It was a video call, and he was a captive audience.
He was facing the laptop, and that meant whoever he was talking to couldn’t see her.
As he tracked her around the room, Elizabeth got down to business.
Laying the blanket down, she knew he was invested as to what she was doing, all while he talked to his secretary in California.
“Yes, I’ll have everything signed and back to you,” Chris said, checking out his woman in the pretty blue dress and bare feet.
He could see the red painted toes, and the fingers that matched. What really intrigued him was that she had a picnic basket.
When she bent over, he got a nice view down the top of the dress, and someone had opted to skip a bra under the innocent-looking outfit.
The contrast was wicked and wild.
And he loved it.
There was no doubt in his mind that this was intentional and to tease him.
Well, he had news for her.
