“You could have warned us,” Reuben said to the large, tattooed bodyguard.
“I’m her bodyguard, not yours. Deal with it.”
Asshole.
“Come on,” Alejandro told him. “You can clean up while I scold my Kitten.”
Scold? The brat needed a good, hard spanking.
But Reuben knew better than to suggest that.
He wasn’t an idiot.
Reuben walked into the spare bedroom wearing just a towel. He’d occasionally used this room before buying his own apartment in Manhattan and thankfully, he’d left some clothes in the wardrobe.
“Papacito rico,” a feminine voice said. “You’ve got some nice muscles for a guy who sits behind a desk all day.”
For fuck’s sake.
“Great. I really didn’t want to die tonight, Cat,” he grumbled as he set down the towel he’d been using on his hair.
“Why would you die tonight?” she asked.
She was sitting on the bed with a freaking bowl of ice cream in her lap.
Oh yeah, Alejandro had really scolded her. That was clear to see.
“Because Alejandro is going to murder me when he finds me half-dressed in a bedroom with his wife,” he said dryly.
She waved her spoonful of ice cream through the air. Drips fell onto the bed cover.
Reuben liked things a certain way. He enjoyed order and control.
Cat was chaos personified. She was a wildcard. He never knew what she might do next.
She wasn’t the sort of woman he could ever be with. Hopefully, Alejandro remembered that after he discovered her in here.
“Papi won’t kill you, Reuby. He loves you.”
“Don’t call me Reuby,” he grumbled as he gathered up his clothes and stomped back into the attached bathroom.
Please don’t be there when I get out.
His prayers weren’t answered. Cat was actually licking the bowl when he walked back in.
“Cat,” he grumbled.
She glanced up, sticky ice cream around her mouth. “What?”
“What are you doing in here?” His hands twitched with the need to clean her up.
She is not your responsibility.
“Cat! Where are you?” Alejandro’s voice thundered through the room.
Reuben found himself longing for his quiet apartment for some peace and quiet.
“She’s in here,” he yelled out as he sat to put his shoes on.
