“What’s the rush? What’s going on?” Marcus asked as he practically skipped alongside Cullen as they made their way back to their suite. “There’s a Christmas movie night tonight. Now, before you say that you’re not going because Christmas movies give you diarrhea, you don’t have to stay. But apparently, you have to escort me there and back. Honestly, that rule is so stupid.”

“Bet you don’t say that in front of any of the Tops around here.”

“Oh hell, no. Nanny J sure knows how to wield a paddle. Poor Callie got her butt paddled good today.”

“Please don’t tell me if you ever get your butt paddled. That’s too much information for me to handle.”

“Like I’d tell you. You’d likely get all offended on my behalf and go off on some quest for vengeance.” He put his fist into the air as he said that.

“Quest for vengeance, huh?”

“I know you. You won’t be able to handle hearing about me getting my butt paddled.”

Cullen drew him to a stop outside their suite. “What time is movie night?”

“Um, at seven. So in two hours. I’m hoping that Ivy will be there. I haven’t seen her all day. Did you find her? Did you figure out why she snuck off this morning?”

“Yeah, I know why. She overheard us talking. About how you wanted to keep her.”

“And you didn’t,” Marcus finished. “Oh, fudge.”

“Fudge?”

“Yeah, Nanny J doesn’t like hearing me swear. Is she mad? Upset? Maybe I should go talk to her?”

“You can’t talk to her.”

“Why not? Cullen, we might have hurt her feelings.”

“We did.”

“So I need to make it right,” Marcus insisted.

“Not right now.”

“Cullen!” Marcus glared at him.

“Shh, you can’t talk to her right now because she’s sleeping.”

“She is? How do you know?” Marcus asked.

“Because she’s sleeping in your bed.”

Marcus gaped at him, then he looked around frantically. “Oh god, Cullen, did you kidnap her? Please don’t tell me you kidnapped her!”

“I didn’t kidnap her. What do you take me for?”

“Obviously, I take you for a kidnapper.”

“Marcus,” he growled. “I didn’t kidnap her. I’m not holding her in our room against her will.”

“Thank fuck for that. Because orange isn’t your color.”

“Marcus.”

“Not that you wouldn’t have the prison population soon under your command and be ruling them like some nasty overlord.”

“I wouldn’t go to prison,” Cullen scoffed.

“Your lawyers are good, but are they that good?”

He froze for a moment. His lawyers…hmm.

“Okay, now you’ve got your ‘I just got an evil idea’ look on your face.”

“I don’t have an ‘evil idea’ look.”

“Oh, you do. And usually I like your evil ideas, but not when it comes to her. Ivy isn’t someone who can be involved in your evil ideas, Cullen.”

“Relax, I’m not going to hurt Ivy.”

Marcus looked skeptical.

“I’m not. I promise. In fact, I decided you were right.”

“I usually am,” Marcus replied. “But what was I right about this time?”

“Keeping her. I’m going to keep her.”
