Chapter 35

“Did I say something amusing?”

Laurie met his gaze, his smile full-blown now. “You sounded so snooty.”

Wheat stiffened. He’d been accused of that on occasion, even when he hadn’t meant to be. “I apologize.”

“No, don’t. It’s…it’s hot.”

“I believe you’re going to need some correction,” he said, looking down his nose at his companion, whose eyes lit up. But then Laurie’s shoulders slumped. Shit. Was he going to run into the same problem with Laurie that he’d had with Adam? “Do you have some objection?” Wheat resorted to a cool tone that concealed his worry.

“No. I’m…I’m looking forward to it, but we can’t, not while you’re not well.”

Wheat’s dick twitched, a very enjoyable way to start the day, even if he wasn’t a morning person. “Then I’d better get well as soon as possible.”

“You can’t order your body to repair itself at will.” Laurie seemed wistful.
