Page 105 of Their Fairy Princess (Office Intrigue Duet 7)
His eyes widened. I’d been sitting on that information for a few days.
“That’s… Thank you, Master.”
“My pleasure. I talked to the designer. She assured me your room’ll be completed by Monday. I told her anything else wasn’t an option. If she couldn’t deliver by then, we wouldn’t need her services any longer.”
His eyes went blank again, as they did anytime the incident was mentioned. I knew Dante felt responsible for what had happened, although no one saw this as his doing. No one except him.
“Also, Ian called in a favor. Turns out Vernon took a trip out of the country. There’s a flag on his passport. We’ll be notified once he’s back in country. So for now, you can relax your guard a bit.”
“I’ll relax it when—”
“I know. I will, too.”
The doorbell rang.
“I’ll get it,” I snapped when he turned to answer. “You go in the kitchen.”
I grabbed the Ruger I’d tucked under the couch cushion, checked the chamber, then went to answer the door. Until this bastard was caught, it was a precaution Ian and I were both taking.
When Dante didn’t move, I glared his way. “Kitchen. Now.”
He turned and walked off, but not before exhaling heavily.
It made me smile.
Heaven was the first to arrive, which of course had the effect we’d hoped for, turning Everly’s glum mood around.
After dinner, the girls cleaned the kitchen, then went to one of the guest rooms to watch a movie. I’d offered the living room, but they politely declined. I got the feeling they were up to something, but I didn’t know what.
I found out not too long after.
With Ian at my side, I barged into the room. Fast enough to have them both jumping, guilt splashed over their faces as Heaven quickly tucked her iPad under the blanket.
“What’s going on in here?”
“Nothing,” Heaven said quickly. “We were … uh … watching a movie.”
“Yeah?” Ian walked over, reached under the blanket and pulled out the iPad.
He grinned over at me, held up the screen.
“Porn?” I pinned Everly with my stare. “You’re sneaking around watching porn?”
“Yes, my Liege,” Everly said, always the sweet, innocent one.
Ian hit play and the two men on screen continued their erotic encounter.
“Gay porn.”
Ian hit pause. “What prompted this?”
Everly shrugged but her eyes quickly shot to Heaven.
Heaven wasn’t quite so tight-lipped. “We were curious.”
We? I found that interesting considering Everly was quite adept at watching man-on-man action. She’d witnessed it the other night when Ian and I had tag teamed Dante.
“Curious?” Ian prompted.
“Yeah.” Heaven glared at Ian. “Is that all right with you?”
He glared right back. “Sassy mouth’ll earn you punishment. How many would you like?”
Her face took on that sweet, serene look she’d been known to give him. “I won’t apologize. My sweet friend and I were just curious what it was like. Since, you know, I haven’t had the chance to see it up close and personal.”
“Well, in that case”—Ian tapped the screen, clicked a few times, then passed it back over to Heaven—“why don’t you watch something that makes us curious?”
“Two women?” she huffed.
“Exactly.”
“That’s for you to watch, not us.”
“Really?”
I grinned, knowing exactly which direction my brother was headed.
Based on Everly’s expression, she’d already caught on, too. Heaven seemed to be the only one out of the loop.
“What?” she asked, glancing between the three of us.
Everly bit her lip to keep from smiling.
Ian glanced over at me. “I think these dirty girls need a shower.”
“I couldn’t agree more.” I crooked my finger at Everly. “Come on, fairy princess. Why don’t we get the water warm?”
“Yes, my Liege.”
Once I had her in the bathroom, I backed her up against the wall, crushed my mouth to hers.
“Do you want to see us together, my Liege?”
“Most definitely.” I stared into her eyes. “But I don’t think I’m the only one who wants the experience, am I?”
“No, my Liege.”
I kissed her again, softer this time. “Your pace, love. As far as you’re willing.”
“It’ll be my pleasure, my Liege.”
I released her so she could start the shower water.
Heaven walked in, her gaze hot. I grinned at her. I was almost positive she blushed.
“What did you tell her?” I asked Ian when he joined me.
“Just gave her a few explicit details of what would definitely be a good early birthday present for Everly.”
“Ah.”
“Strip,” Ian ordered. “Each other.”
“Slowly,” I added.
“Pretend we’re not even here,” Ian said.
“As if,” Heaven retorted with a huff.
“I’m thinking she’s been gone too long,” I told my brother, ensuring Heaven heard me. “She forgets what punishment in this house looks like.”
“I agree.”
I’d already had the pleasure of watching them strip one another once. Outside by the pool. I was fairly certain I would never tire of it.
The only problem I saw was the fact that they were nervous. Too nervous. To the point, Heaven continued to giggle, and it was a trickle-down effect, causing Everly to do the same.
