âWhatâs the rush? Whatâs going on?â Marcus asked as he practically skipped alongside Cullen as they made their way back to their suite. âThereâs a Christmas movie night tonight. Now, before you say that youâre not going because Christmas movies give you diarrhea, you donât have to stay. But apparently, you have to escort me there and back. Honestly, that rule is so stupid.â
âBet you donât say that in front of any of the Tops around here.â
âOh hell, no. Nanny J sure knows how to wield a paddle. Poor Callie got her butt paddled good today.â
âPlease donât tell me if you ever get your butt paddled. Thatâs too much information for me to handle.â
âLike Iâd tell you. Youâd likely get all offended on my behalf and go off on some quest for vengeance.â He put his fist into the air as he said that.
âQuest for vengeance, huh?â
âI know you. You wonât be able to handle hearing about me getting my butt paddled.â
Cullen drew him to a stop outside their suite. âWhat time is movie night?â
âUm, at seven. So in two hours. Iâm hoping that Ivy will be there. I havenât seen her all day. Did you find her? Did you figure out why she snuck off this morning?â
âYeah, I know why. She overheard us talking. About how you wanted to keep her.â
âAnd you didnât,â Marcus finished. âOh, fudge.â
âFudge?â
âYeah, Nanny J doesnât like hearing me swear. Is she mad? Upset? Maybe I should go talk to her?â
âYou canât talk to her.â
âWhy not? Cullen, we might have hurt her feelings.â
âWe did.â
âSo I need to make it right,â Marcus insisted.
âNot right now.â
âCullen!â Marcus glared at him.
âShh, you canât talk to her right now because sheâs sleeping.â
âShe is? How do you know?â Marcus asked.
âBecause sheâs sleeping in your bed.â
Marcus gaped at him, then he looked around frantically. âOh god, Cullen, did you kidnap her? Please donât tell me you kidnapped her!â
âI didnât kidnap her. What do you take me for?â
âObviously, I take you for a kidnapper.â
âMarcus,â he growled. âI didnât kidnap her. Iâm not holding her in our room against her will.â
âThank fuck for that. Because orange isnât your color.â
âMarcus.â
âNot that you wouldnât have the prison population soon under your command and be ruling them like some nasty overlord.â
âI wouldnât go to prison,â Cullen scoffed.
âYour lawyers are good, but are they that good?â
He froze for a moment. His lawyersâ¦hmm.
âOkay, now youâve got your âI just got an evil ideaâ look on your face.â
âI donât have an âevil ideaâ look.â
âOh, you do. And usually I like your evil ideas, but not when it comes to her. Ivy isnât someone who can be involved in your evil ideas, Cullen.â
âRelax, Iâm not going to hurt Ivy.â
Marcus looked skeptical.
âIâm not. I promise. In fact, I decided you were right.â
âI usually am,â Marcus replied. âBut what was I right about this time?â
âKeeping her. Iâm going to keep her.â
