Chapter Nineteen

“Well that was interesting,” Cade said drily when Cody emerged from the office and headed into the kitchen. Sidney had murmured something about having work to do and needing a new pair of panties, and then she’d skittered away, leaving him to roll up his tongue and reclaim his sanity on his own.

He probably shouldn’t have ripped off her panties, but honestly, how could a man be expected to maintain his decorum when a woman like Sidney seduced him so blatantly?

He tried to hold back a grin, but failed.

Yeah, fucking like rabbits in the office probably hadn’t been the most romantic way to reignite their romance, but he had no complaints.

She had initiated it.

That meant one thing.

She was now as ready as he was to explore this relationship to its depths.

And that knowledge thrilled him.

“Hello? Earth to Cody?” Cade nudged him none too gently.

“What?” He frowned. He didn’t like being interrupted when he was reliving such a fantastic moment.

“I said, ‘That was interesting.’”

“What?”

Lisa batted her lashes at him. “The thumping.”

“What?”

She fixed her gaze meaningfully on the wall the office and the kitchen shared.

Oh.

They’d probably heard everything.

But somehow, he found it hard to care a whole lot. He was still filled with endorphins. So he grinned. “That was not my fault,” he said.

“Really?” Cade snorted.

“You guys are the ones who brought up the question. I cannot be blamed if you are babbling on about it and she overhears.”

“Is that what happened?” Cade set his fists on his hips. “Really?”

“Absolutely. I was prepared to wait until the time was right, but you and your nosiness brought the situation to a head.”

“Interesting choice of words,” Lisa murmured.

“Technically, it was Claire’s nosiness,” Cade clarified.

“And where is our sister?” Cody asked. After starting all this?

“She’s probably in therapy.” Lisa’s grin was smug.

Cade nodded. “She bolted out of here like a spooked filly, bellowing something about things that cannot be unheard the second she realized her brother was screwing her friend in the next room.”

“Again. I did not initiate any of this.”

“You could have refrained from fucking her right there. Right then.”
