He’s marrying Sloane, so I expect he’ll put in more effort to win her back to his side.
“I think they’re both going to be fine,” I agree. “My only concern is, I’m not sure Aiden should have access to all the money and power he’s going to inherit from her dad.”
Killian shakes his head. “Probably not.”
“I’m glad he’s on our side now. I know he’s not your favorite person, but I think he’s a better friend than a foe. And honestly, I know you won’t want to hear this…”
He locks his arm around my waist, pulling me against him. “Then you don’t have to say it.”
But I do, anyway. “I think you two have more in common than you want to admit. I think you should be friends.”
“He kissed the woman I’m marrying,” he reminds me.
“And you kissed the woman he’s marrying, so really, you guys are kinda even. He never liked me,” I tell him, shaking my head. “He was just using me. And you were right about the sob story being bullshit.”
Killian smirks, letting his lips linger near mine. “Told you. The guy’s a manipulative asshole.”
“Yeah. But so is Hex, and you like him.”
“I’d say if you like him so much, you be friends with him, but…”
“I’m not allowed.”
He kisses me. “No.”
“Well, you should take it into consideration.”
“I will. And you should get your pretty little ass in that dressing room so we can leave. I don’t want to have lunch with Addison and Ryan anymore. A different lunch menu has caught my interest.”
“Oh, really?” I tease, smiling as his lips make their way down my neck. “And what’s on that menu?”
“My wife’s perfect pussy.”
His words send a thrill of electric shooting straight down my spine and I suck in a breath. “I guess they wouldn’t die if they had to eat alone.”
“If they do, it was nice knowing them. Either way, I’m taking you home. Eating that pussy. Burying my cock in it.”
I swallow, a knot of lust sinking through my body. “You know what? I’m convinced.” I tear myself away and drift toward the dressing room. “I’m going to try on this dress so fast, you won’t even believe it.”
“You better show it to me,” he says, his eyes flashing with satisfaction.
“I would never dream of denying you,” I assure him sweetly as I back into the room.
“Damn right you wouldn’t.”
I make quick work of trying the dress on, and sadly, it does need a bit of alterations. That means the lady has to come in with me to take measurements and make notes, but when she’s finally finished, I’m free to return to Killian.
He’s talking to Hex and Ryan, and Addison is hanging off to the side.
“Where’s Hex’s date?” I ask.
“She left,” Addison says.
My eyes widen. “Oh no. Are we down a bridesmaid?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll find another one,” Hex assures us.
“What is this I hear about you bailing on our lunch date?” Addison asks.
“Oh, yeah. Killian has reached his friend limit for the day. He only wants to hang out with me.”
“Inside of you, technically, but…”
I shoot him a wide-eyed look. “Are you trying to mortify me?”
He slides his arms around my waist, then lets his hand cover my belly. “You’re having my baby. I think they know we fuck.”
“All right. I guess we can go to lunch without them,” she says, glancing at Ryan, then at Hex. “You wanna come?”
“Maybe,” he says, his mouth tugging up in a fairly wolfish smile that hints at what he overheard earlier. “What are we having?”
Leaning in, I whisper to Killian, “Actually, maybe we should go with them.”
“Addison can handle Hex and Ryan,” he assures me.
“Yeah, but… both at the same time?”
He smirks, hearing it before I do.
I grimace. “That actually is what I’m worried about, so it may have been Freudian this time.”
He shakes his head, taking my hand and hauling me toward the door. “Addison can make her own decisions. I’m taking you home.”
“Addison can make her own decisions,” Addison agrees, only overhearing that part of the conversation. “What are we talking about?”
“Your double Ken lunch date. I don’t know if it’s a good idea.”
She waves off the guys. “We’ll be fine. But wait, I did want to run an idea by you. I planned to at lunch, but since you’re bailing…”
“What do you want?” Killian asks, impatient to get me out of here.
“Are you guys doing anything after the holidays but before school starts back up?”
I shake my head. “We’re going home to meet Killian’s family for Christmas and share our big news, but we’ll be leaving right after. He doesn’t want to hang around.”
“Perfect. We should do a couples’ vacation and go somewhere fun.”
“That would be awesome.” I look to Killian. “I wanted to travel a bit before I get too pregnant.”
He nods. “We could do that. Ryan, you free?”
