Ridge turned around.

“We can go into the static after. Right now, I think I’d like to have sex with you, so I can experience it in real time.”

Lucian’s heart skipped.

He and Bishop had talked about this, and she was good with it. What happened in the mediation shed was fine by her. As a family, they were going to work through it, and figure it out.

Lucian’s heart skipped.

“A pretty lady?”
