“Uh, he really likes the wings.I thought it would be a fun distraction.Too fun, as it turns out.I don’t think he can sit down.”
Reynal suddenly leaned over her and began typing.The spreadsheet he wanted took shape under his skillful manipulation.He occasionally paused to kiss her neck, and she shivered as he got things ready.
Vaia cleared her throat.“Can I ask what this particular foreplay is in aid of?”
Krys took three tries to say, “People are after the venue.They want viewings, quotes, and all the good stuff that comes with a venue.I think we are up and running, and that is before Dia’s pictures come out.This is just from phone cameras and word of mouth.”
Vaia said, “How many?”
“As of right now, ninety-three queries.Some of them just want to hire the dance troupe.I will forward Hura’s information.”
Vaia grinned.“Kremoryn will hate that.”
“Probably.Oh, do you want to run a dance class weekly here at the mansion?Sable wants to learn, and she is stuck here.”
Vaia smiled.“I think that would be fun.Azreen has to travel a bit this year, and I would be glad for the company.”
“Nice.Wednesdays?”
“Sounds good.When do you want to start?”
“Wait.Me?”
“I saw you.You are good at it.”
Reynal softly growled against her neck.
“Yeah, I think it might be a little dangerous considering my current proximity to a predator.”
He chuckled, and as she opened her emails, he started typing at a dizzying pace.
“Wow.Fast hands.”
He pressed his head to hers and kept typing.All she had to do was open the next query on her phone.
He included the comments and processed the messages in under twenty minutes.
He leaned to one side and tapped his lips.“Kisses.”
She turned her head and kissed him, opening her mouth slowly as they licked slowly.
When he stopped the kiss, she wrinkled her nose.“I just remembered our audience.”
She looked around him and snickered.Vaia and Azreen were leaning on the counter, side by side.All they were missing was popcorn.
“Uh, I have to prioritize these queries.See who wants to get a quote and save a date, or who just wants to gawk.”
Vaia smiled.“I will get you some coffee.”
“Thank you.I am going to have to put in for a company phone before I return these calls.”She glanced at him.“Is my car here yet?”
He checked his phone.“Yes.It’s out front.”
“Yay.”
“But a phone is being brought here, courtesy of the mayor’s office.You are still working for him at this point.”
“Well, now that I have seen how fast you type, your texting skills make sudden sense.”She smiled at him and started to sort the requests by those that had asked for a specific date.
