Twenty minutes later, Remi picks us up in his pink Cadillac, and I try not to laugh. I’m not making fun of his vehicle. It’s just so odd seeing this hot-as-hell guy in a frilly grandma car.

“Emmie, Emmie, Emmie,” Isabel blathers on about her favorite person.

He gets out of the car and pulls Isabel from me. “Quit biting your cheek. You’re going to get a sore. But if you laugh at Aretha, she will get mad. You don’t want to get on her bad side. Trust me.”

Not able to help it, I burst out laughing. “You call your old-person car Aretha?” I shake my head, trying to catch my breath, wiping tears. “You never cease to amaze me.”

Opening the back door, he straps my daughter into the car seat I gave him. “Well, to be honest, her name was already Aretha when I inherited her. I promised to keep her happy and healthy. So I tell her what a good girl she is every day.”

How? How does he turn a silly conversation into something that flicks my nipples and clit at the same time? “I bet she’s a really good girl for you.” I’m trying to be funny, but I can’t help the heat that warms my tone.

“She is.” He opens up the passenger door for me, and I slide in. “I know just how to tune her up right.” He winks, and I pass out from lack of oxygen.

Remi settles in the driver’s seat, looking in the rearview mirror to make sure Isabel is content, before driving down the road. “What do you want to listen to, Isa-bea?”

“Sussi!”

Fighting a grin, he shakes his head. “Of course.”

“Where did you come up with her nickname?” I’ve been curious for a while. Is it just something that rolls off his tongue or is it more than that?

Remi lowers the music. “What? Isa-bea?”

I nod.

“Bea means bringer of happiness.” He turns to me, brown eyes catching green. “That’s exactly what she does.”

Oh, my heart. My hand flies to the left side of my chest, and my eyes turn glossy. Before I let myself get emotional, I deflect. “Is that why you call me Queeny, because I’m a bossy bitch?”

His quirked lip lifts his cheek. “When we first met, you were pretty cold toward me.” He shrugs. “So yes, initially I called you Queeny to get under your skin.” He takes my hand, folding his fingers around it.

I just sit there and stare at our skin touching. My breath hitches, and goosebumps dot my arm. It feels so right, even though I know it’s wrong. “And now?” I whisper.

“You’re not ready to hear it. That’s okay.” His crooked smile lights me up. “I’ll wait.”

Isabel takes this moment to shout the lyrics from the back seat like I’m in some kind of Disney movie and the characters are trying to set the tone for a romantic kiss. “You know I wuv you, baybe. Rewwy wuve you, baybe.”

Remi chuckles and lifts the back of my hand to his lips before letting me go.
