She froze then hurried over with her hand out. He gave her the phone and she demanded, “What’s happened to you? I dreamed you were…you were…someplace else, someplace maybe the dead go.”

Ace heard Rukem’s chuckle and slid a hand through his hair. He’d married Darby. Which meant he’d put his dick in it, he assumed. They’d both married on the same night. What were the odds? An strange sensation zinged through his blood and made his pallet tingle.

“Really,” she gasped, smiling at Ace. “Rukem has married Darby!” Her brows furrowed. “This isn’t what I’m feeling,” she seemed to realize. “I must touch you to understand. Please, brother.”

Ace reached for the phone, nodding at her. She handed it to him and he stole a quick kiss from her worried lips. “Do you have five minutes to spare to put my angel’s fears to rest so we can both get back to being married?”

He gave a sigh. “Hurry. Darby’s showering. As far as I’m concerned, we’re on our yearlong honeymoon.”

“Year?”

He muttered something in another language. “I take that back. She’s ready for me now and I’m not available, thank you. Get over here so I can get back to her.”

He eyed Sophie, finding her pacing and wringing her hands. Definitely not talking her out of it. “On our way.”

****

“Now?” Darby wondered, confused.

“She knows something,” Rukem said, sliding on a long sleeve black shirt that made him look more sinful somehow.

“What do you meanknowssomething?”

“She’s very in tune with me. I think whatever she did with Ace has increased that.”

“Oh great,” she muttered, remembering the kissing picture.

“Why do you say that, Meeski?” he wondered, standing before her and holding her face.

She bit her tongue then decided she wasn’t hiding things from him. “Because of that stupid kissing picture,” she mumbled. “I know it’s—”

His mouth covered hers, his tongue stabbing with the same urgency as his moan. “My Meeski is possessive?”

She couldn’t answer with words as he continued devouring her.

“I love this,” he whispered against her lips, pecking at them now. “But you have nothing to worry about with Sophie.”

“It doesn’t matterwhothe lips belong to, they shouldn’t ever be on yours.”

“I don’t even think she’s supposed to kiss me, I think it means something else.”

“Well, I don’t,” she said. “I know that’s what it means.”

“We will see.”

“Yes, we will and when I’m right, I’ll get to glare at you, silently.”

“I will request a moment of privacy with you if that happens.”

“For what? To try and make me feel better about a woman’s lips on you that aren’tmine?Stop your damn smiling!”

“Meeski, I’m so sorry,” he said, chuckling. “I have never been so touched by anything as this. Forgive me if I’m being an…”

“Ass,” she helped. “Insensitive ass.”

“Yes,” he agreed.

“Great, they’re here. Let’s hope Ace won’t be required to kiss me.” She widened her eyes at his insta-fury. “Ohhh, we’re angry at the idea, are we? Well, that makestwoof us,” she hissed at him.
