Simone

LATER THAT MORNING

“Get ready! We’ve got to pick up your birthday present!”

I squint at Matty suspiciously. “But you already gave me my present.”

He grins. “That’s because I just found out about this late last night.”

“And you can’t tell me what we’re doing or where we’re going because?”

His toothy grin grows even wider. “Because it’d ruin the surprise.”

I heave out a sigh. “Fine.” With a nervous glance at the closed door to Kane’s room, I hitch the strap of my bag higher on my shoulder.

“Relax,” Matty says softly. “Already cleared this with the big guy.”

I narrow my eyes. “He knows about this?”

“Yep.” Matty’s gaze turns mischievous. “Speaking of the big guy, did you…you know?” He wiggles his eyebrows comically.

My expression remains deadpanned. “No. I don’t know.”

He does some hip gyrations and grunts a few times. “Oh, yeeaahhhh. Aww, yeah, ba-by!”

I just stare. “You are. So weird.”

Matty just continues, starting to slap his own ass. “Is this what happened?”

“No.”

“You sure?” More hip thrusts and overly dramatic grunts and moans. “No deep thrusts or moaning like that?”

A deep, masculine voice suddenly offers, “Might need to see a doctor for that.”

My head whips around in surprise to find Kane standing there watching us. Or rather, watching Matty act like an idiot.

Of course, my best friend doesn’t even bat an eye. His smug smile widens. “I was just asking Simone if she got birthday nookie.”

Kane’s lips remain in a flat line, expression blank, exuding that all-business mode. He ignores Matty and says to me, “We’re all set.”

I perk up and address Kane since I got nowhere with Matty. “All set to go where?” I ask casually.

It’s there and gone in the blink of an eye, but I swear I catch a glimpse of the edges of his mouth twitching the slightest bit. “Afraid that’s a surprise, ma’am.”

I scowl and narrow my eyes on him. Not only for refusing to clue me in, but also for that “ma’am.” I get it, I do. We’re back here, back to where we were before. Employer and employee. Returned to our respective sides.

It doesn’t mean a certain hollowness isn’t created in the center of my chest, however.

Matty slings an arm across my shoulders. “Come on. Let’s head out. Guarantee you’ll love me more after this.”
