Lyla shook her head. “You businessmen.”
Marcus brushed imaginary dirt off his shoulders. “We live for it.”
“I hope someone comes along and forces you to take breaks.”
“You have someone you want me to try out?” Marcus asked, wagging his brows.
“I only know man eaters,” Lyla said and he laughed.
He led her out of his office with a casual arm tossed over her shoulders. Blade looked disapproving, but then nowadays, healwayslooked that way. Lyla let out a grunt as Nora kicked hard. Marcus’s easy smile vanished as she clutched her stomach.
“Oh my God, are you okay?”
“Yeah, she just—” Lyla winced as she kicked again. “She’s trying to break out.”
“What?”
Marcus looked like he might pass out. Lyla grinned, grabbed his hand and placed it on her tummy. Marcus tried to pull away until he felt the kick. He froze and his eyes went comically wide.
“Holy crap.”
“I know.”
She released him and wasn’t surprised when Marcus’s other hand joined the first. He looked almost giddy as he waited and then received another kick.
“Oh, boy, I hope you drive daddy crazy,” Marcus whispered to her belly.
“What the fuck!”
Lyla and Marcus turned to see Gavin bearing down on them. Lyla stepped in front of Marcus and headed towards the man who made his employees run for cover.
“Nora’s kicking,” Lyla said.
“And why’s he touching you?” Gavin demanded.
Lyla reached up to clasp his face. “Hey, Hulk, he’s just feeling her kick.”
“You’re mine,” he hissed.
She sighed. “I couldn’t be more yours if you tried. Now, stop making a scene. I needed to talk to Marcus about something he’s helping me with.”
“Why do you need to go to him? I can help you with everything!”
“I want to surprise you.”
“You know I hate surprises.”
She gave him a wounded look. “Even from me?”
Gavin hesitated and then glared at her. “You’re trying to manipulate me.”
Lyla beamed. “Is it working?”
Gavin jabbed his finger at Marcus. “I’ll see you in the ring tomorrow.”
“That’s fine,” Marcus said easily and then compounded his sins by giving Lyla’s belly another pat. “I’ll see you later, gorgeous.”
Lyla dug her hands into Gavin’s suit when he tried to go after Marcus. “Gavin, seriously.”
