him.
    “We have the best kid
ever.”
    “Yeah we do, baby.
Are you ready to go?”
    “You packed
everything we need?”
    “Yep.”
    “Then, yes, I’m
ready.”
    “You got your game
controllers, bro?” Owen asks as he walks by with Candi.
    Yas and I both flip him
off. “You could, you know,” she whispers to me when they’re
gone.
    I do know. When she let
me tie her up with them years ago, it freaked her out. So I was
surprised when she gave me a pair for our anniversary last year. She
said she knew she had nothing to worry about, and if I wanted to, I
could tie her up again. We’ve used them a few times—I’ve been
tied up with them, too. But I didn’t bring them tonight. This is
about something different.
    “Not tonight, but
thanks for offering.”
    As soon as our driver
closes the door, she puts up the privacy screen and climbs on my lap.
I settle my hands on her hips and smile at her. She leans forward and
sucks my lip ring into her mouth as I rub her back. “Thanks for
giving me a night to relax, Pretty Boy.”
    “I hate seeing you so
stressed. Hopefully my present will make you feel better.”
    “Just being with you
always makes me feel better.”
    “Same.”
    We kiss until the car
stops almost an hour later. I know our lips are swollen, both of us
have fucked up hair, and I’m about to bust out of my pants. This
night is already pretty perfect.
    “The W? We’re
staying at another one?” Yas asks, her eyes sparkling.
    “Of course.”
    Since we stayed at the
one in Chicago after going public with our relationship, we’ve
tried out several others. We haven’t been to this one yet, since we
usually stay at my parents’ house here in L.A. But Luke needed it
tonight, so I figured this would be perfect.
    Our Extreme WOW suite
here has a couch curving around the big window. I notice a cushioned
ledge behind it, and I’m even happier. We’ll play with that
later. Right now, I need to talk to her. I lead her over to the
chairs and sit down in one, not letting her onto my lap just yet.
    “I can’t sit with
you?”
    “After we talk, you
can sit wherever you want, baby.”
    “Anywhere? Are you
going to do the thing you love?”
    I chuckle as I remember
telling her going down on a woman was just okay. We both know I think
it’s a lot more with her. But I still won’t act like those guys
in her books—at least when it comes to that. “I’ll do the thing you love. Anytime.
Anywhere.”
    “It could be my
present—you saying it.”
    “I once told you I’d
say it and you said I didn’t have to.” It was the first night of
the game controllers, and I would’ve done anything for her.
Including that.
    “I know. It’s just
so sexy when the guys say it in the books.”
    “I’m not sexy
enough?’
    “You are,” she says
with a sigh, giving up. “Go ahead and tell me about my real
present.”
    “Reina and Isa let me
know that Tegan has a family friend who’s been wanting to expand
his foundation to include literacy programs. I agreed to donate as
long as he put a branch in Las Vegas. And you could be the Director.”
    “What? Me?”
    “Yes, you. You always
tell me how you want to do more for literacy in middle and high
school students. You said they get lost sometimes, but can be brought
back to reading with the right book. Combining your business degree
and your love of books would make this the perfect job for you.”
    “But you’re giving
it to me. I didn’t earn it.”
    “The hell you didn’t,
Yas. This guy had actually heard of you before I got involved. He had
a whole file on all the things you’ve done. You were one of the
people he was looking to talk to for a position in the Midwest. My
contribution just keeps you in Vegas. And helps the kids there.”
    “He really wanted
me?”
    “Yes. Even with me
putting up the money for that branch, he’s not the type of guy to
put someone in a position like this if they wouldn’t be a good
representative of his company.”
    “What
