One Of Those Lucky Mistakes

“You think Emma’s got a gentleman suitor?” Olivia asked, tucking Kieran's shirt tighter on her body.

She loved wearing his clothes. The feel of the silk against her hot skin reminded her of his lips ghosting across her collarbone mere minutes before.

The back of the armchair dug into a slowly fading muscle strain between her shoulder blades—she couldn’t remember exactly how she got it—she'd been too lost in a myriad of sensations, whispers, and moans—but she'd enjoyed every second of it.

Kieran quirked an eyebrow, his eyes never leaving the chessboard. This was quickly turning into a habit, playing these games with the air crackling around them.

They'd already won a game each, and the sun had only been up two hours at most. He was impossibly sexy, sitting there shirtless and way-too-serious.

But Olivia wanted his attention on her right now. She extended her legs across the small coffee table and rested them against his thigh, nudging him.

Kieran chuckled and grabbed her ankles, repositioning them across his legs. He drew small patterns on her shin, keeping his gaze on the damn chessboard. “Do I strike you as someone concerned with what’s going on in people’s personal lives?”

It was Olivia’s turn to raise a plucked eyebrow. “Reeeeally? And Bertha’s drinking?”

“Everyone with a nose would know about that.” Kieran moved a chess piece. In two moves, he’d win. Again. Olivia was trapped. He reclined back in the armchair with a satisfied smirk, engulfing both her ankles in his large hands. “Why do you care anyway?”

Olivia moved her own chess piece, inching closer to defeat. But as long as he kept massaging her feet with those slow moves of his, she didn’t care. “She came back soaked and carrying some roses. Just saying. Or do the laws of dating not apply to Nottinghamshire?”

“I suppose Charlotte’s brother is about Emma’s age. And Nan told me they’re spending the summer at the estate before they sell it,” he said as an afterthought.

“Charlotte?” Olivia asked distractedly, watching his neck muscles flex as he swallowed. The rays of sunshine danced on his bare arm, highlighting his glorious tattoo in the most delicious way.

“Yeah, she’s...” he trailed off, crouching over the chessboard.

Olivia tilted her head, suddenly curious. The sudden hot coil that wormed itself in her stomach took her by surprise.

Huh. She suddenly wanted to know if this Charlotte was tall. Or smart. Or beautiful. Or maybe all those things combined in the perfect little package, with the perfect long legs.

“She’s....a distant cousin?” she asked, feigning ignorance. Mentally, she kicked herself. What business did she have asking about this Charlotte? As long as Kieran wasn't dating her and cheating with Olivia, it was none of her concern. Or at least shouldn't have been.

She’d met Kieran a few days ago, and in a few days, she might not see him again except for some paperwork. That thought made her frown. It was the truth, but...suddenly, she wasn’t such a fan of reality.

“Nan’s a fan of hers,” he said at last.
