Yes.
I flash him a goofy smile.
“Fisher is going to have my balls if you don’t go back to New York.”
I give him a one-shoulder shrug.
He’s right.
Not to mention, how am I going to put my plans into action if I follow him?
He taps the tip of my nose. “I wish I could postpone the trip by a few days and fly with you to New York, but I can’t. I have a string of publicity appearances in Sweden. Then, I fly to South Korea where I have many meetings booked. Opening a new market is demanding and requires quite a lot of negotiations.”
Bummer.
“On the plus side, my extended trip will benefit you.”
I frown my confusion. “How?”
“When I see you again in New York, I’ll be so fucking hungry for you.” He grinds his cock against me. “I’ll fuck you like an animal.”
“I supposed it’s an acceptable consolation prize,” I say with the upmost seriousness.
“Cheeky Lily.”
Gage hasn’t dropped the G word. The promise of seeing him again the second he’s back stateside is enough for me. Like Nadine said, I shouldn’t get tripped up by the girlfriend label.
He reaches for his phone. “I’m going to have to go soon.”
Why can’t he run his empire from my bed?“I understand.”
“Nadine, you, and I are having dinner tonight with Michaela and Phoenix. Don’t forget.”
“I won’t.”
“What are you going to do all day today?”
“I received so many incredible gifts, Nadine and I have to go out later so I can buy an extra suitcase to carry them all. Then, we’re going to spend the afternoon in Santa Monica and at the Pacific Park amusement park.”
“You’ll have fun.”
“I’m looking forward to it.”
“Before I go, I have one more gift for you.”
My eyes widen. “Gage. No. You spoiled me enough yesterday. No more gifts.”
“I didn’t give you any gifts yesterday.”
“Yes, you did. The incredible party. My favorite cake. Flying my best friend from Paris. My favorite flowers, straight from Paris. All those are gifts.”
“I beg to differ.”
You’re too generous.“You’re impossible.”
“Sorry, angel, but the gift I got you is non-refundable. So, you have to accept it.”
“Fine.”
