“Darling girl.”
I scream when Maddox pops his head out of his office door. Grant snatches the folder from my hand, opening it.
“Don’t get yourself worked up.” Maddox clears the space between us. His hand comes to a protective hold over my stomach.
“He stole my folder.” I point at Grant. Who glares at me when he sees it’s empty. I have to fight a smile. I love Grant. We have grown on each other. We fight like we are brother and sister. Poor Maddox gets stuck in between. Obviously I’m his favorite. Grant would probably not love me back because of this and Maddox always taking my side, but I’m the reason they both work less. Heck, Maddox never works unless you count following me around as a job. I guess you could. It’s what I used to do for a living.
“Give her the file back,” Maddox tells Grant. He tries to hand it to me.
“Not that one,” I mumble.
“The London deal is done, no?” Maddox takes the empty folder from Grant’s hand. Then he starts to laugh. I know he’s putting it all together.
“Darling girl, I’ll tell you the twins’ sex if you want to know.” He hands the empty folder back to Grant.
“The deal is done,” Grant answers Maddox’s question smugly. I still don’t know what the London deal is or was but Grant is happy about it. Well, smug, so all must have gone well.
“Grant, will you give us a moment?”
Grant drops the folder down onto his desk. “I’ll see you at the party.” He grabs his bag, heading for the elevator. We all know what it means when Maddox tells Grant to give us a moment. Spoiler alert. It’s not going to be a moment. My nipples tighten because I know what’s coming.
Maddox’s hand runs down my stomach. He leans down, whispering to our twins. “Let’s put Mommy at ease. It’s not good for her to get worked up.” He places a kiss there. My small bump is already showing. I popped out fast, but between MJ and Maddox feeding me and there being two babies inside of me there is no stopping it. I don’t mind. I was so excited when I woke up one morning and saw the small bump forming already. Maddox is enjoying it too. He is always rubbing me there. He is always talking to our babies.
He walks over to Grant’s desk, pulling out the folder. “But if we know, what about the party?” I bite my lip, waiting for Maddox to give me a reason why it’s okay for us to find out now and still have the party. Maddox walks back toward me, holding the folder in his hand. He grabs my hand with his free one and guides me into his office and over to the couch.
I take little cat naps on it from time to time if he has to come into the office for something. I always wondered why he had a couch in his office in the first place. I’ve found out it was because he often slept on it. The man really did used to work too much before I came into his life.
We are still putting the couch to good use, though. Maddox always wants me close and I have been prone to nodding off, especially now that I am pregnant. He gives me a kiss before walking back to the office door, the sound of the lock clicking into place. A rush of heat hits between my thighs at the thought of what is to come. I bite my lips as I wiggle in my seat.
On his way back to me, he pulls one of the office chairs up in front of the couch, sitting down in it. That folder with the information I need to know is still in his hand. He leans back in the chair with a way too sexy smirk on his face.
“What are you willing to do for the information contained in this folder, darling girl?”
I smile, getting up and dropping down into his lap. “Hmm.” I tap my mouth with my finger like I’m thinking. “I don’t think I have to do anything to get that information from you.” I turn in his lap so I’m straddling him, my legs falling on either side of the chair. I sway them back and forth, and the action has me rubbing against his hard cock. The dress I’m wearing rides up. “Do I?” I tilt my head to the side. He goes to answer but I stop him. I already know what he’s going to say. “But I’ll give you anything you want.” I give him the words he would have given me.
He drops the folder and it falls to the floor. His hands come to my face as he takes my mouth to kiss. The kiss is deep and sweet and filled with the promise that those words for both of us are true.
