Chapter Seven

“Where’s Lexi?” Gia peered around Josh’s office door, automatically scanning the room.

Since they’d started homeschooling, Lexi had taken to reading in the oddest places. Once, she’d found her under Josh’s desk while he worked, channeling JFK Jr. under the Resolute desk, and she also had a penchant for the window seat in Luke’s office.

Had he been a regular dad, a businessman, butcher, baker, or candlestick maker, she wouldn’t have minded Lexi being in here with Josh. As it was, he was a brigadier general.

Nothing nice went on in this room.

Well, save for the moments Josh took her by surprise, made her lean over the desk, and fucked her silly.

That was pretty nice. For the adults, at any rate.

Josh squinted up from his laptop, and she realized she’d forgotten to schedule his appointment with the optometrist last month. Spying the deepening lines gathering at his eyes, she determined to arrange it later, but he broke her train of thought by asking, “Lexi?”

She nodded, half wondering what he’d look like with glasses on. Sexy as hell, undoubtedly. Like she needed him to be sexier. “Yeah. Where is she?”

“She was with Luke in the yard the last time I heard.”

She rolled her eyes. He could be irritatingly vague sometimes. “What? This morning?”

He scanned the screen, and she could see the dull black-and-white video footage before he paused it to turn and give her his attention once more.

“Well, neither of them are anywhere in the house,” she remarked when he didn’t answer, folding her arms and leaning against the door.

Damn, when he was all somber and serious, all brigadier generalish, he got her so fucking hot. Add in the prospect of a pair of glasses and… She had to force herself not to shudder at the notion. Now was not the best time, when Lexi and Luke could be any-freakin’-where.

“Have you checked the garage? Is his car still here?”

“I hate that word.”

“Which word?”

“Check. I feel like he’s a junkie and I’m having to make sure he’s not found an old stash of dope hidden around the place.”

Josh snorted. “It’s not that bad.”

She sighed, and leaned a little harder against the door frame. “It’s getting that way.” The words were dragged from her, but they were the truth, and Josh needed to know what was going on in the house.

He’d been so obsessed with clearing Luke’s name that the behavior of the man himself was going completely unnoticed. Well, save for her. She noticed every slight and every shiver. Each time, she wanted to weep, and then, she wanted to rail. The ceaseless flood of emotions was starting to drive her crazy.

“Seriously?”

Gia wanted to grimace at Josh’s lack of awareness, but she was too used to it to show her irritation. “It feels like it. He’s less communicative than before, and I don’t mean earlier this year, I mean since he got home. He’s more sullen than ever. He barely talks, and if he does, it’s to Lexi. Haven’t you noticed?” She knew he hadn’t, but she had to make a point.
