He laughs, taking me with him.

The sound of footsteps coming close has that dying off.

In the next second, Charlotte stalks into the kitchen. She smiles at Ax and greets him pleasantly, “Morning.” Her expressions shifts as it lands on me. Narrowing her eyes, she snaps, “I can’t believe you messed with my alarm.”

Ax grins at me, then turns back to finish up preparing breakfast.

Char comes to stand right in front of me, glaring.

“Your alarm?” I ask, leaning back against the counter.

“Nice try at playing innocent, but I know you too well not to see straight through your denial, Cal.”

His back to us, Ax chuckles. “Yeah, definitely met your match, Dealer.”

I hold up my hand. “Look, I set it to go off a few hours later than normal because you needed your sleep after being up most of last night.”

“What about you?”

“I’ve been sleeping well lately.” I toss her a wink. “Better than ever actually.”

“Lovely,” Ax grouses, picking up on my veiled innuendo. Best I can manage to tone it down when I’m around Charlotte, especially when she’s coming at me all feisty and sexy-as-fuck with her whole rumpled and disheveled look from just waking up. Her robe is barely tied properly, giving me a good view of her strappy tank top that does her breasts real justice. I can tell she jumped right out of bed in a panic when she saw the late hour, realized quickly what had caused it, then came to find me to confront me.

I smirk at her.

She slaps my chest, making me grunt. “Ass.”

Ax turns around. “I’m starting to like you more with every passing moment, Charlotte.”

“Hey, now, let’s lay off coming at me.”

“Impossible,” Ax says.

Charlotte nods. “What he said.”

“I’m gonna get Rox and Ava. Breakfast in five.”

Char looks more than a little surprised. “You want me to join you?”

“You’re Dealer’s woman. Yeah. You’re joining us.”

With that, he takes off back into the house to retrieve the other two.

I close the distance between me and Char. “My woman, huh? How’d you like that?”

She fists her hand in my tee and jerks me down to her, taking me in a deep kiss that has me hard for her in a second.

When she pulls back and releases me, she grins. “Does that answer your question?”

I finger the belt of her robe. “I think I’m gonna need more.”

She bats my hand away, chuckling. “What about your rule of not screwing around in your daughter’s house?”

“You’re making it nearly impossible not to break that rule.”

“Come on, that was just a kiss.”

I step up to her and lean down, whispering in her ear, “You know damn well a kiss from you ain’t just a mere kiss. We’re gonna have to find someplace where I can fill that tight pussy of yours, or I’m gonna lose it real soon.”
