Oh, crap!
Snuggling back into Finnâs broad chest, I decided to deflect and deny. It had always worked for me before. I focused on the oatmeal I had made and was stirring the baby food peaches into it while I answered, âI donât know what you mean, Finn. Iâve told you all about me.â
My fingers were in sight, so I crossed my toes underneath the hem of Finnâs gigantic robe. I really needed to go down and get my clothes out of the drier. A lightbulb went off, and I knew how to get out of this. I dripped some of the baby food on the front of the robe on accident and put my plan in motion.
âDamn, look what I did.â I turned around and looked up at Finn through my lashes while licking the peach sauce off the spoon I was holding. His gaze followed my tongue caressing the spoon, and I watched his Adamâs apple bob up and down when he swallowed, his interest obvious. Sex was always the perfect distraction.
âFinn, would you feed our little princess while I go get cleaned up and changed? I seem to be very, very dirty this morning. I canât imagine how that happened, can you?â
I was practically purring when I spoke. It worked like a charm. When he just nodded and said, âUm, sure.â I kissed his cheek, loving the way his beard whispered over my skin, then walked away, making sure to sway my hips a little as I went.
I took my time getting cleaned up and dressed. By the time I was done, they were done in the kitchen and ready to go out for a walk.
âOh, good, you have on the baby harness you ordered. Want me to get her bag?â
Finn gave me a once-over, tilting his head to the side in thought before answering, âNo, Iâve got all her stuff here.â
He motioned to the backpack he was wearing. It didnât look like it held anything but air to me, but it was probably a magical thing he didnât think I should know about. After this morning, I was rethinking my decision not to tell him about what I was. Finnâs next words caught me off guard.
âWhat the hell are you wearing?â
Looking down at my outfit, I whirled around and struck a pose with my hands on my hips and hoped it would speak for itself.
âIâm wearing lumberjack wear. Itâs perfect for a hike, isnât it?â
I looked down at my outfit and loved it even more than when I got dressed. Seeing the disbelief in his face, I decided to explain further.
âThe tight jeans are perfect for not catching on limbs and stuff. The boots have thick soles to protect my feet and grip the ground. My tee is to keep me warm under this plaid quilted shirt. Donât most lumberjacks wear plaid?â
Finn was trying to hide his laugh and doing a terrible job.
âYes, lumberjacks do, in fact, wear plaid, but itâs usually not neon pink and aqua.
