My brows shot up. So did Millie’s. But unlike her, I did not smile in amusement.
“You’re a freaking tyrant,” I muttered irately. “I don’t have the energy to argue my point right now because by the look on your face, I’m wasting my time.”
“Matt, consider this pre-marital counseling,” Millie drawled. “But it’s not good to annoy the wife.”
“I’m not his wife yet,” I grumbled. Matt’s arms hooked around me, pulling me back against his chest.
“It’s a done deal, babe,” he whispered and nipped at my ear. I felt the shiver straight to my toes. His possessiveness was both a turn-on and an aggravation.
“Do you have any advice, Millie, on how to deal with overbearing husbands?”
“Easy. Cut off their water.”
Matt froze behind me.
“What?” I laughed, pulling away from Matt as I saw him glare at the other woman.
“Oh, sweetie, withholding sex is the greatest weapon of all.”
I heard Axe choke on a chuckle and Matt shifted his glare to him. “What the hell is so funny, Axe?” Looking at me, he continued. “I wouldn’t take Millie’s advice. I doubt she’s ever been married.”
“He’s right. I’ve never been, but I have a world of experience. Trust me on this. Men think with their dicks. Always.”
“Christ. Thanks, Millie,” Matt said sarcastically.
Her smile was saccharine sweet.
“Going back to the Kyra subject,” I said. “You’ll look into it, Millie?”
“I’ll head over there tonight,” she assured me. Her normally shrewd eyes were soft. “You’re a good person, Grace. Other women would wish their fiancé’s ex to hell.”
“Oh, under any other circumstances, I’m as normal as any other woman, but I can’t overlook my duty as a DEA agent. Which is why a good compromise was having someone close to Kyra get involved. I doubt she’ll appreciate my help, and it could only make matters worse.”
Matt squeezed my shoulders. I felt the tension leave his body. I think my man had calmed down enough to finally see my point. Or maybe the idea of withholding sex had shaken the impenetrable wall of his anger.
“So, what were you doing in Atlanta, Matthew?” Millie asked suddenly.
“I met up with Kate.”
“Oh?” Millie’s face lit up with interest. “And?”
“She’s coming back to Misty Grove next week.”
“To stay for good?”
“I hope so,” Matt said.
Millie harrumphed. “I see you’re not very chatty about it.”
“I’m keeping my fingers crossed, okay?” Matt sighed. “I don’t want to hope, only to have Kate get a wild hair about staying away again. There’s only so many times I can lose my twin.”
The other woman nodded. “Does Colt know?”
“I gave him a heads-up,” Matt replied.
“Well, at least that other girl is not in the picture any longer.” Millie looked at me. “For a small town, we keep things interesting around here, don’t we?”
“That’s an understatement if ever there was one,” I quipped.
