continue tracing his ink. Stepping closer, I press myself against his back and place a small kiss on his shoulder. He turns and suddenly, I find myself wrapped tightly in his arms.
“I love the shield. It’s sexy on you,” I say as his lips move to my shoulder. I let myself have this moment to feel happy. I’ll take it while I can and not worry about what my future may hold.
“Maybe one day you’ll get your own shield,” Cole whispers next to my ear, sending chills across my body.
“Maybe,” I say softly. I would love to have the Knight shield inked on me one day, and more, have it signify something between Cole and me. I want to believe that everything will work out for the best.
When Cole and I finish washing, we step out of the shower, and he wraps a towel around me before wrapping one around himself. I dry myself before dropping the towel in the hamper and walking into the bedroom. Cole follows and my eyes feast on his naked body. I’m not the only one peeking. His gaze lingers on my body, too.
When I look at the time and see it’s now ten o’clock, I figure Seth will probably come looking for me soon, so I slip on my shorts and T-shirt and leave Cole dressing. I open the door to Seth’s room and see the typical little boy’s room decorated in all things fast cars. Before I spot Seth, he sees me.
“Kat, you came.”
“Of course I came, buddy. I told you I’d take you out today.”
“Where are we going?”
“I thought I’d take you to the zoo.”
My words are met by a loud shout from Seth. Laughing at the cuteness that is Seth, I make my way to his closet to dress him properly in shorts and a t-shirt along with socks and sneakers. Then we head off to find Bruce to let him know Seth and I are leaving, and to check in with our bodyguard from Cole. I know that after the run in with Sal last night, Cole is not going to let Seth and me go without protection.
We find Cole holed up in Bruce’s office, filling his dad in on what happened last night. I only know this because, as I walk into the office with Seth, Bruce chuckles and greets me. “Hey there, Rocky.”
“Ha, ha! Seth and I are ready to go, so summon our escort for our trip so we can head out on our very important date.” I say.
The dark office screams that it’s a man’s workplace. One wall is all built-in bookshelves. Bruce’s desk sits in the center of the room and a couple of chairs surround it. However, Cole and Bruce sit in a small area in the most private corner of the office. To the side is a bar with several bottles of liquor on it.
“Rocco will drive you and follow behind at the zoo, but he’ll try to stay far enough back to give you private time with Seth,” Cole says.
“That’s fine.” I don’t care anymore who is assigned to follow me. “Come on, buddy.” Seth and I start walking out of the office.
“Aren’t you forgetting something?” Cole demands from behind me.
“I don’t think so,” I say.
“Kitten!” Cole sternly says.
I freeze in my tracks. I know better than to test him, but I can’t seem to help myself.
“Fine,” I sigh, exasperated with the guy. I turn back around, walk over to Cole, and plant a chaste kiss on his forehead. When I turn away, he tugs my hand, which makes me fall into his lap. Then he plants a kiss on me that makes my cheeks tint pink. He should not kiss me like this in front of his dad or little brother. I finally shove away from him.
“Don’t do that in front of Seth again,” I yell. I’m not seriously mad at him, because honestly, that kiss has me feeling all kinds of tingles.
“I will kiss you whenever I fucking feel like it,” he smartly replies.
“Watch your mouth in front of your brother, jerk face.”
“Daddy, Cole’s being mean to Kat. Make him stop,” Seth calls out.
Bruce chuckles. “Son, they’re just playing. Cole isn’t being mean for real. He thinks he’s funny.”
“I don’t like it,” Seth says, and gives a swift kick to his big
