Backing away from the door area, I slink back to my desk to pack up and leave for the day. If Greg needs to see me, he can call. At this rate, I don’t have many fucks left to give.
After tossing my bag into the passenger side door of my car, I fumble with my phone before sending Avery a text. Thankfully, she instantly replies that she’s home.
Home.
Soon to be our place. After the gala, my primary focus will be packing up my small home, selling the furniture that’s mine, and moving in with Avery.
The elevator ride up to the apartment is surprisingly quick for this historic building. Before I can even insert my key into the door, Avery opens it and is a sight to behold. She’s flashing me a bright smile that makes all of my worries melt away.
“Hey, gorgeous.” I lean in to give her a small kiss.
Her arms go around my neck, and I scoop her into me. Instantly, her legs wrap around my waist.
“Hey there, handsome.” She smiles against my lips.
Carrying her to the kitchen counter, I finally set her down.
“God, I missed you.”
Avery giggles.
“Hunny, it’s been like…” she looks down at the dainty watch on her wrist.
“Four hours,” Avery finishes.
“Four hours too long if you ask me.”
Leaning in, I give her a kiss on her plump lips. My tongue begs to be let into her warm mouth, which she instantly agrees to. Gripping her sides roughly, I know I’m getting hard already.
Avery breaks away first.
“Rough day?”
“One of these days, we won’t have dire news to share, and I can’t fucking wait for that day, Goldie girl.”
She frowns before asking, “What happened now?”
I explain to her the conversation I overheard, and that something has been planned for me to be a scapegoat for Kevin’s deal he’s planning on conducting there. The gala is only two days away. I can’t wait for my involvement in the Church to finally be over.
Avery lets out a loud sigh. Slowly closing her eyes, she takes steady breaths to regain her composure.
“That day is right around the corner, Lachlan. I’ll let Noah know this news and see if he wants me to bring in the police directly. For now, I’ve decided I’d like to plan my future with my boyfriend.”
“That sounds like a cocktease of a statement, Avery.”
“Which part is that?”
“Calling me your boyfriend is the second-best thing I think I’ve ever heard, right after the fact that you love me,” I smirk.
“I’ve told you I love you already, and you’re getting hard from me calling you my boyfriend?”
Avery lets out a light laugh.
“Damn straight I am.”
“Someone is going all caveman on me, I see, but you know what?”
A full smile can’t be contained as she attempts to bite down on her lip bashfully.
