* * *

My neck is stiff and my shoulders are tender to the contact. It’s pushing midnight, and I haven’t had an opportunity to talk to or see Kathryn aside from a second after I wanted to go to the residence.

I pack my laptop computer up and head upstairs to retire for the night.

A nice aroma of garlic and onions hits me as soon as I’m out of the elevator. I can hear Kathryn buzzing to music coming from the kitchen. I head straight into our room and place my briefcase on the mattress earlier than going to seek out my spouse within the kitchen. I can’t assist however smile after I see she has her again to me, however she’s shifting her hips and buzzing horrifically as she stacks the dishwasher. She breaks out into the lyrics of the track, and I cringe at her horrible singing voice. “You sound…”

Kathryn bolts upright and clasps at her chest. “Shit, Bennett, you scared me.”

I stroll additional into the kitchen, lace my palms by way of her brown hair, and kiss her with ardour. “Why are you up at midnight? You need to be sleeping.”

“Since you haven’t eaten since lunch.”

“Who advised you?” I slender my eyes at her. She pretends to zip her lips. “It was Esther, wasn’t it?”

“I don’t know what you’re speaking about. Anyway, I had a sense you’d be coming in late, so I’ve already ready all the perimeters, I simply have to cook dinner the steak and mushroom sauce and that gained’t take lengthy.”

“Have you ever eaten?” I ask as I pull out a barstool and sit.

“I ate hours in the past. However I do know you’re cussed and doubtless wouldn’t have stopped throughout the day.” She locations a thick, juicy, steak on a plate and continues getting ready the sauce. “Perhaps I have to convey you meals all through the day.”

“Or, perhaps not. What are you going to do, convey me a lunch field? What would the opposite youngsters say?” I chuckle.

She pours the mushroom sauce over the steak and brings the plate round to me. Putting the plate in entrance of me she pulls the stool out to take a seat beside me. “Perhaps I would like so as to add one thing further to Esther’s chores.”

Earlier than I’ve an opportunity to chop into my succulent, still-sizzling steak, I whip my head round to take a look at her. “Don’t do this; she already has an excessive amount of to do. Really, Liam thinks I ought to get a private aide, so, I feel I’ll.”

“Yeah? Who?”

“A child who’s interning right here. His identify is Jamie.”

“How did you discover him?”

The second the steak is in my mouth it almost melts, it’s so tender. “I used to be strolling previous and noticed he had legislation books out, so I requested him what he was doing. He advised me he was doing analysis for varsity.” I groan with appreciation as I inhale the steak.

“So, as a result of he was doing analysis, you’re focused on him?” Kathryn’s voice is crammed with shock.

“I like the best way he challenged me.”

“He challenged you?”

“Once I requested him why he’s finding out social work, he mentioned as a result of the welfare of the household is the core of our nation, and I actually favored his reply. He didn’t attempt to give me a solution I wished to listen to. He didn’t sugarcoat his reply. I additionally like the very fact he goes to a group school.”

Kathryn’s lips flip up in a small smile. “In case you like him, then I feel you should give him a possibility to take a seat with you and see if he’s a match for the workplace.”

“I do like him, which is why I advised Liam to go forward and put him on the record.”

Kathryn dips her finger within the sauce and brings it as much as her mouth, licking the residue off. “I’ve been considering. I need to head again to work quickly.”

“You do? Wouldn’t you reasonably keep house and take care of your husband?” I wink as I activate the stool and drag her off hers and into my arms. “I might preserve you tied to the mattress.”

“You might, however you wouldn’t.”

“I’d when you’d let me.” I pepper kisses down the column of her throat. Kathryn snuggles into me additional and tilts her head to the aspect, giving me a greater angle to adore her with my mouth.

“As a lot as I need this to proceed I’m actually drained, and I have to go to mattress.” She breaks away from me and begins to stroll out of the kitchen. I can’t assist however watch as she walks away, her hips swaying backward and forward tempting me with each step she takes. “Earlier than you get any concepts, I’m too drained for any humorous enterprise tonight.”
