Chapter 34

“Baby, I wondered where you went. Here, come meet Julie. She works at the office with me.”

Thankfully, Marc smiled and went along with the ruse. “Hi,” he said, offering his hand to her. “It’s so nice to meet you and put a face with a name.”

Aiden saw when it finally sunk in.

“Oh, I didn’t know Aiden was…with someone,” she said.

“You don’t talk about me?” Marc asked, pretending to be insulted.

Julie hurried to elaborate. “No, I’m sure he does. I’m new at the office also.”

Marc smiled and slid his arm around Aiden’s waist. “Okay, honey, you’re forgiven.”

Aiden couldn’t say anything. The heat from Marc’s touch spread through him, down his back, heating his blood. If this simple touch aroused him so, he might explode if he ever had the opportunity to kiss the man.

The quiet stretched out until Julie finally said something about getting another hot dog and practically raced out the door.
