I close her door and open the back door. The dogs climb inside. Bruno instantly moves to the front. I’ve noticed he’s too clingy with her, Rosie isn’t like him; she’s satisfied once she’s had her fill of attention. But Bruno is like me. He never gets enough of her.
I climb into the driver’s seat. Bruno is now settled between her legs, his head on her thigh, while she pats him and coos athim like he’s a baby. I eye him—no, I glare at him.How much of an attention-seeking bastard is that motherfucker’s dog?Instead of letting her put all her attention on me, this son of a bitch has taken it all for himself.
If he hadn’t been so loyal to her, I would’ve gotten rid of him during those few days she was away.
I start the car, telling myself that getting jealous over a dog isn’t mature.
“Did you take them on evening walks?”
“Yes.”
“Was Bruno behaving well?”
I nod. “Apart from barking at strangers who tried to come close, he was perfect.”
“Who tried to come close? Everyone in our area knows Bruno doesn’t like being touched.”
I shrug. “Mainly it was a young woman with pink hair.”
“The same woman who went to meet you alone at your party?” she demands, her voice so angry I take my eyes off the road to see her.
I turn my head back with a smile. “Why are you getting so angry?”
“Why am I getting angry? She’s hitting on my man, should I feel happy about it?” she fumes, and my smile stretches wider.
“Your man? Since when?” I tease.
She grabs the collar of my shirt and pulls me toward her. “Since forever. And how dare you ask me that?”
I slow the car and turn to look at her. She’s seething, her eyes blazing, her lips pulled down. I’ve seen her vulnerable, happy, and sad, this is something new. And I like it.
I kiss her lips. “I’m sorry, baby.”
She loses her grip on my collar, her anger vanishing instantly. “Baby?” she smirks. “Is that because you’re so mucholder than me?” She leans back in her seat. “Should I call youdaddythen?”
Fuck.The word makes my dick twitch. Hard.
I focus back on the road, speeding up. “We’ll discuss that later.”
“Yes, along with the discussion that you’re my man.” She purrs the words, and the sound vibrates through me.
The twitching turns into throbbing. All these discussions will take place after I have my dick inside her.

Hunter
She gets out of the car, her face filled with awe as she takes in the Christmas decorations I’ve put up around her house.
I had no plan to do any decorating, I actually have no idea how, but Logan does. Yesterday he spent the whole day decorating our house. I thought she’d like something similar, so I did the same for her place.
“You did this?” she beams.
I nod.
Her face brightens even more. It’s so easy to make her happy.
I open the door for her. She walks inside slowly, taking in the interior decor. Most of it is done by her caretaker, May, with help from Logan’s ideas. I only helped with the heavy stuff, like lifting the ten-foot Christmas tree and hanging lights around it and through the living room.
