KENNEDY
Learning his sexual experience frightened me. My insecurities fluctuated. Watching those exhibitionists exploring their desires, comfortable in their own skin, and their way of life had me question my own sexuality.
Was I enough for Thayer? Knowing how far he would go to satisfy my needs, my curiosity, as he said, my fantasy, I loved him even more. What if one day, he would ask for something more? What if I couldn’t give what he wanted?
I woke up to an empty bed. Since we were back together, he shared my bed. We didn’t have any arrangements, but having him every night made me feel content.
Judging by the time on my nightstand, I expected he left work already. Once I was done to look myself satisfactory, I went down and met Ash with his cup of coffee in his grasp.
“Morning.” He was always kind, even if he looked like he could snap me in half effortlessly.
“Morning. You’re still here?”
“Big boss is still in the study.”
My brow arched. “Why?”
He smiled. “You should ask him that.”
“And your partner in crime?” I asked about Lud.
“In a phone conversation.”
“I’ll check him in the study.”
I left when he nodded with a smile. Considering I was an outlander, they were overprotective over Thayer. Ash and Lud always treated me right, though, despite my bad girl behavior, and it made me comfortable around them. I felt like I could also trust them with my life.
Before I could knock, one of the security details named Darren greeted me and opened the door for me.
“Thanks.” I walked towards my man. He was busy scouring stacks of documents on his desk. Marko was standing beside him with a tablet in his hand, pointing his pen on the lines of papers.
“Good morning. Wrong timing?”
My man already looked splendid in his ivory single-button jacket as he snapped his gaze at me. He smiled—his smile alone could make me wet. “Right on time.”
“You’re working home today?” I walked closer until I reached his desk.
He rose from his seat and kissed me on my lips. “I’m leaving in thirty. I’m only waiting for you to get down.”
“Then why nobody went up to get me up early?”
“I told them not to. Arina will be here shortly. She’s running an errand for me.”
“You don’t have enough men to run an errand for you?”
He smiled mischievously.
“Am I missing something?”
“You’re protective over Arina?”
“Like you are to your guys. I actually don’t have the right to question how you order anyone in your payroll. I’m just curious what’s that all about. I apologize.”
“Don’t apologize, darling. Marko, can I have a moment with Kennedy? Tell them to ready the car.”
Marko nodded. “Of course, Your Highness, Miss Gilby.”
Once the door shut behind Marko, Thayer rounded to cup my face and kiss me with such urgency. He took in the gasp of surprise that slipped out of my lips. The kiss was abrupt. Still, it made me all tingly. He pressed a quick kiss before he let me go.
As I got back my bearing, I licked my lips. “What was that for?”
“You came to check on me, and I just wanted to kiss you.”
“Okay. I should check you more often.”
His smile widened, tracing his thumb on my cheek. “Beautiful.”
“I wouldn’t take much of your time than I already did. See you later?”
“If I come home late, eat your dinner. Have you eaten your breakfast?”
“About to.”
“Darling, you have something to do today. Take your breakfast, and please, don’t miss any meal?”
I wrinkled my nose. “I’m a big girl.”
“I can see that.” His gaze dropped to my boobs. “But you’re gonna hate for me for minding your free time.” He fixed his suits.
“You look great.”
“I know why you agreed to date me because I’m handsome.”
I snorted. “Don’t be too cocky. I’ve seen attractive and asked me out but turned them down.”
His jaw clenched. “Choose your words wisely, darling. And those motherfuckers.”
“Language.”
“I’m gonna spank your ass till you can’t sit later.”
The word spank made me laugh. “I’d love to do the same.” I closed our gap and squeezed his ass.”
His eyes widened in surprise, filled with humor.
