CHAPTER FIFTEEN

“GOOD GIRL”

Adriano

I'm occupied and distracted when I notice Quinn is oddly stretched out on the bed with a guilty look on her face. She doesn't lie very well, and she doesn’t hide her true feelings well, either. Most of the time they’re two of the things I like best about her.

"What are you doing?"

"Staring at my hot new husband?" she says tentatively.

I anchor my hands on my hips. I’m a hundred times calmer than I was before we came in here, but she’s up to something. "Before that?"

My phone sits on the end table, and the only other things in here are the clothes. Good thing I threw out that scrap of paper that came with the flowers. Would've freaked her the hell out.

"You have that look on your face you get when you're trying to snoop."

"Do you blame me? You're treating me as if I'm some kind of celebrity that always needs a detailed bodyguard. And, while I am fully aware of my charming qualities, I am no Taylor Swift. So sue me if I'm a little curious about all the high security."

Fair enough. From her perspective, I get it, I’m being way over-the-top. "I get a little overprotective."

Propping herself up on her elbow, delightfully naked, she tips her head to the side. "Can I get that in writing?"

“Seven to ten business days.” I join her on the bed, arrange her on my lap, and make her hold her hands in her lap like a good little girl as I feed her. Of course, she playfully nips my fingers and not-so-playfully laps pastry cream from them in a way that makes me want to lay her down all over again.

I haven't had many things I’ve treasured in my life. And while a part of me knows that I'm only requiring Quinn to stay with me for six months, she's beginning to break down my defenses.

She is free to go at the end of this once we know she's safe, and I know that her wings are already ready to fly. Quinn isn’t a girl who will be held back by commitments. If she were, she’d lose a little part of what makes her who she is.

So, I'm going to enjoy myself while I can.

"Have you regained feeling in your limbs?" I ask, stifling the need to chuckle. Yeah, I fucking like it when I make her happy.

She sits up eagerly, almost bouncing on the bed. "I have. Why?"

I give her a stern look and turn her around. "Look at the time, please."

When she looks down at her new phone, she practically claps her hands. "Time for my first lesson? Do I get to hold a gun? What about a knife? I think I would be super good with nun chucks. I might be small and petite and everything, but that makes me lower to the ground, so I think I'd be mad skilled with those. Or did you have something else in mind?"

"You could say that."
