I grab the tablet off the small kitchen counter and order breakfast. I want to feed my Zolotse in bed, and then maybe I can eat her again. Once I’ve placed the order, I check my emails while she’s still asleep. I pause a few times when I think I hear her voice, but she doesn’t come out of the room.
I turn down a handful of offers that have come through and notice I received information about Teddy’s lawyer. I start to scan over it when I know for a fact I hear her now. I don’t get the chance to go to her; she comes out of the bedroom, her phone in hand.
“Zolotse.” I can tell instantly that things are not okay.
"You've been lying to me." Tears fill her eyes. They slice right through me. It's worse than any torture I've experienced before.
"I was going to tell you." It takes me no time to put together that it was Lily who told her about me.
"After you sabotaged everything?" The corners of her mouth turn down. Her disappointment and hurt is palpable, and it’s crushing me. Never have I worried what other people thought about me, but she changed all that.
"No, I haven't told Tristan anything. I've been stringing him along.” I start to stand, wanting to go to her.
"You keep your booty in that chair," Teddy orders me. I'm not pushing my luck, so I keep my ass planted. "Oh, you actually listened." That perks her up momentarily, and then she furrows her brows, remembering she's mad at me.
"Zolotse, please. I did not mean you harm." I swallow. "I can't lose you." My world would fall into utter darkness. Before Teddy, that was fine by me, but now I've felt the sun on my skin, and there’s no turning back. I want to bask in her for the rest of eternity.
"You're not going to lose me. Don't think that, but I'm still mad." She stomps one foot.
"I'll make it up to you," I tell her.
"With orgasms?" Her brows rise at her question.
"I will always give you an orgasm, but I was going to offer my assistance."
"Oh, right. Yes, that's what you'll do to make it up. You're now an assistant of this mission." I’ll be whatever the hell she wants me to be as long as she doesn’t leave me.
"I'm honored to be on the team."
"Whoa, hold it right there, big guy. You're only an associate. This is Lily's and my mission."
"Right, my apologies." I scoot my chair back when Teddy starts to come toward me. She slips right into my lap, straddling my thighs.
"I'm still mad at you." She tries to glare at me, but she appears more like an angry kitten. Then she kisses me. Relief floods me. It's about more than her forgiving me, but when I told her I couldn't lose her, she brushed that off like it was never a thought.
I tangle my fingers into her hair and deepen the kiss. I'm about to spread her out on the table and get to work on her orgasms, but a knock sounds at the door, the food arriving.
Teddy wiggles off my lap, but I grab her wrist, tugging her back. “I answer the door,” I tell her. “This is non-negotiable. I will not risk your safety." Even if I have to tie her to the bed. I don’t tell her that part.
“Fine, I’ll allow this.” She gives a curt nod. “Did I sound professional?”
“This isn’t professional, Zolotse."
I check the door before I open it, allowing them to bring the cart in. I sign for it, and they quickly exit after I tell them I'll handle putting everything on the table. I noticed a shift in Teddy when they'd entered, so I wanted them out as quickly as possible.
"We need to renegotiate this door-answering deal."
"Not happening." I start putting everything on the table.
"The girl was eating you alive with her eyes. We will renegotiate, and the new rule is if you're answering the door, then you must wear a shirt, you hussy." I glance down at myself.
"Deal," I agree. That's easy enough.
"You're not going to say anything about her?" She nods to the door.
"What of her?" Teddy rolls her eyes. I shouldn't find this show of jealousy entertaining, but I'm an asshole, so I do.
"Are you going to pretend you didn't see her?"
"I saw her."
"And you saw these." She hovers her hands over her tits, in a show of bigger ones.
"I did." Teddy's mouth drops open. "I notice everything, Zolotse." To prove my point, I describe the blonde who brought the cart up from head to toe, and then I do the valet from last night and the man who checked us in. I can’t tell if she’s impressed by this or annoyed. “You can’t be in my line of work and not take in every single detail about people and your surroundings. That’s how you get caught or worse, die.” She nods her head. “But I can go collect her eyes for you if you like.”
