“Do you remember the name?”
“I do. Makari. I tried to google it but honestly, the only thing I could figure out was a skin care regimen.” She gave a laugh, “I never figured it out.”
“What about from Roan?”
“That’s harder. Every message from Roan feels special. I live
for each of them. I think when Egan told me Roan hears me
when I speak to him. The medium helped me learn how to meditate. I can’t connect or feel them myself but according
to Egan when I meditate and tell Roan I love him and I
never forget him, he hears me. He’s my angel and I know he
watches.”
They were interrupted as their appetizers arrived and Genesis gave a bland smile and looked at Kiefer. She leaned forward when the server left, “I told you we’re going home hungry.”
He chuckled, “Genesis, it’s only the appetizer.”

One. Not even a couple of them. Just one.”
“Do you want mine?”
“No because you’ll not get enough calories and go into some kind of hypoglycemic episode, and I’ll have to carry your heavy ass out of here.”
He laughed heartily now, “you’re killing me.”
“I’m not wrong!” She avoided her wine. “When this dinner is done, we’re probably going to have to go home and raid the cupboards for snacks. Can’t even drink my wine because I’m going to get tanked having alcohol on an empty stomach.”
Kiefer was hugging his ribs as he laughed at her complaints.
She shoved her entire cracker in her mouth and covered her
mouth while she chewed crankily. After she swallowed, he lifted his from his plate and leaned across the table. “Open
up.”
“No, it’s yours. I can’t eat yours.”
“You can, come on. You’ll need your energy tomorrow to chase a six–year–old.”

She opened her mouth, and he popped it into past her teeth, his thumb dragging along the edge of her mouth to wipe the crumbs.
“You’re beautiful, Gen.”
“Thanks.” She looked away as she chewed the mouthful of
cracker.
“Is it good?”
“It tastes salty.”
“Like oyster and shellfish salty or a mouthful of jizz salty.”
She kicked him under the table as she tried not to laugh at
his words. “Whose jizz have you been tasting to find out it’s
salty?”
“Don’t you remember the time we made out in the elevator in
New York?”
She blinked at his question, “no.”
“Yes, you do, little liar. Remember how the elevator got stuck
between floors and the maintenance crew called to say it

would be at least twenty to thirty minutes. To distract you, I put you on your knees. I’d just filled your mouth, and it was dripping down your chin and the elevator started to move again ahead of schedule.”
He’d kissed her as the doors opened while she fastened his pants back up and when they’d stumbled out of the elevator towards the meeting room they were heading for, he’d whispered the word salty in his ear.
“Kiefer,” she was certain her face was red.
“I’ve never been so glad to get trapped in an elevator in my
life.”
“Where is the rest of the food?” she tried to change the topic.
“It’s coming,” he promised. “Speaking of coming,” at her
annoyed gaze, “how did you sleep last night?”
“I slept well, thank you.”
“Did he make you –”
“No!” she cut him off.

“Why not?”
“Because my bedroom is for sleep only.”

“Lorcan said having to satisfy the needs of three men, I’ll need my own sanctuary where sex is off the table. My bed is
mine for rest. If I want to be held, I can ask for cuddles but no
sex in my room.”
“He didn’t try anything?”
“He did kiss me good morning,” she thought of the way his lips were soft and teasing when she first woke, “however he told me to go back to sleep and he left.”
“And you slept well with him?”
She nodded.
“Why?”
“I felt safe with him there, Kiefer. I’ve been sleeping with one eye open in the house, afraid of who might come in. You and Tadgh have been crossing boundaries without my consent, 5/7
