Chapter 10

A week later…

It was a week later, when Matt found his little wife standing in front of the bay window. She had her hands jammed into the pockets of her jeans and was staring outward. Her profile was lit by the last of the evening light, and he put his arms around her from behind.

"Come here." He spoke into her ear, drawing her to the sofa and into his lap to face him, the way he always did when they had something important to discuss.

Meg's expression was wary. "What is it?"

"I'm adding some rules for you, princess. No, don't scowl at me. They're for your own safety."

Her shoulders sagged. "Great. What rules?"

"Don't look at me like that. Scott and Mason and I have been talking, and we all agreed it was a good idea."

She looked up at him. "You've been discussing me?"

"We've been discussing all our wives."

"Fantastic." Meg's voice sounded sarcastic, and she shook her head. "Here it comes."

He'd seen that expression before and found it hard to suppress a grin. "First, don't accept any invitations for lunches or dinners without consulting me."

"What if it's from someone in the group?"

"Especially from someone in the group. With the exception of Nicole, of course."

She blinked. "And what if you're not available?"

"Then put them off until you can talk to me. I'm not saying you can't go. What I am saying is I need to know about them before you accept, so I can make plans to be close by." His hand slid down to cup her bottom, giving it a slight squeeze. "And so help me, if you utter the words you don't trust me, I'll put you over my knee. Hear me?"

Her scowl deepened. "I hear. Is that all?"

"No, that's not all. Are you listening?"

A sigh escaped, and he gave her bottom a hard pop. "Megan Savannah?" He put as much warning into his voice as he could manage.

She jumped and lowered her gaze. "I'm listening."

"Good, because I expect you to remember this. If anyone in the group calls, put them on speaker, or bring the phone close enough so I can hear their side of the conversation." He paused. "If they call and I'm not around, write it down. No, I'm not finished."

She glanced upward, frowning, as he continued. "No going places by yourself. If you need to leave the clinic, even in the daytime, for any reason, call me first, and take Nikki with you if I can't come. I don't think Scott will ask you to do that."

"Not even to pick up lunch?"

"Not even for that. There's one more thing—no—two more. I know you don't want to hear this, but with your vision, it's important. Make sure—no exceptions—you have your glasses with you every single time you leave the house, in case you lose your contacts."

She sighed. "And the second?"

"Make sure your phone is set to ring and vibrate, and do not forget it, for any reason. That's probably the most important of all. Understood?"

She was not happy; he could see it.
