Grady and Sophie were snuggled up on the couch, Grady’s body spooned around Sophie’s, and he was debating how he was going to make his move when his cell phone dinged.

“Great,” he grumbled, reaching around Sophie’s lithe body to collect his phone.

“Now you’re going to have to start all over with your plan to talk me out of my panties,” Sophie teased.

Grady licked the edge of Sophie’s ear. “I wasn’t planning on talking to you about it,” he said. “I was planning on using my tongue.”

Sophie involuntarily shuddered. “What else were you going to use your tongue for?”

“Hold that thought, sugar,” Grady murmured. “I will lay out all of my dastardly plans in exactly … crap!”

Sophie sighed. She knew Grady’s tone. There would be no tongue fun in their immediate future. “What’s wrong?”

“Mandy was attacked at the courthouse today.”

Sophie straightened and pushed herself into a sitting position, swiveling quickly so she could face Grady. “What?”

“She’s okay,” Grady said, studying James’ text. “Some guy tried to attack her with a syringe at lunch. Clint got in the middle and he’s the one who got injected. He’s going to be fine and Mandy is officially off work for the rest of the week.”

“How angry does that text feel?” Sophie asked.

“What?” Now Grady was the confused one.

“James didn’t want Mandy to go back to work,” Sophie pointed out. “I’m worried that they’re screaming at each other when Mandy needs someone to hug her.”

Grady made a face. “My brother is not a monster. I can guarantee there’s a lot of hugging going on over there.”

“How do you know?”

“Because he sent me a job to do,” Grady said.

Sophie wrinkled her nose. “What job?”

“He has Maverick working on a sketch with his computer software,” Grady replied. “I need to go and oversee the project with Finn at the office.”

“Why can’t Finn do it alone?”

“Apparently the fact that Emma is pregnant isn’t dissuading Maverick from hitting on her,” Grady said, referring to Hardy Brothers Security’s tech guru. He was young and gung-ho – and ridiculously horny. “He likes her jugs, if this text is to be believed.”

Sophie pressed her lips together to keep from laughing. “Is there a reason Emma can’t wait upstairs?”

“Finn promised her a foot rub and her ankles are swollen.”

“She’s really milking this pregnancy,” Sophie said, laughing. “Good for her.”

“It shouldn’t take more than two hours,” Grady said, his expression rueful. “Do you want to come with me so Maverick can comment on your jugs?”

Sophie glanced down at her chest. Of all the women she surrounded herself with, she was definitely the least well endowed. “I don’t think that’s going to be a very long conversation.”

Grady cupped her breast and squeezed, smirking at the face she made. “I’m not so sure about that.”

“I know you would prefer it if I had a little more on top,” Sophie said. “I’m not offended.”

“I am,” Grady said seriously. “Don’t ever question my choice. I love you exactly the way you are.”

“That’s very sweet,” Sophie said, leaning over to give him a kiss.
