“I do.”
“What else do you like?”
His mouth brushed over mine again. “You.”
I grinned beneath his lips. “Clearly, but what else?”
“My bike.”
He leaned forward and kissed me again. “And the thought of you on the back of it with me.”
“Hmmmmm, I think I’ll pass.”
He chuckled. “You don’t want to be on my bike?”
“Not particularly.”
“Why?” His eyes flickered with amusement.
“Because they’re dangerous and I need all my limbs intact to dance.”
His charming smile expanded. “You don’t trust me to keep you safe?”
It was a trick question. I couldn’t exactly say no without breaking my promise to him.
Trust.
Loyalty.
Respect.
“YouI trust, your death trap, not so much.”
He chuckled and reached around me, lifting a slice of bacon. And like before, I bit half and he finished what I left.
“I’ll accept that as a compromise.”
“So mangoes and your bike?” I flashed a smile and he nodded, gripping my chin.
“Andyou.”
“Andme.” I blushed. “You have to give me more than that.”
“I’m not sure what more to give you. Ask whatever you want.”
“You’re not involved in your family’s business?” I asked cautiously. As far as I knew he had never really been. Christian explained to me that he hadn’t agreed to be now that he was back. I was confused about why. His brown eyes flitted over my face, slowly taking me in before he answered.
“No.”
“Why not?”
“Ez has always been a better fit. He tolerated our father, I did not.”
“Will you be more involved now?”
“If that’s what Ez needs then yes.”
“Mmmm.”
