Chapter 89

  ADLEY

  “You’re overthinking. I could literally hear your brain reeling.”

  “Elise told me how you helped her. It’s in your nature to help people. I shouldn’t have wondered why you did agree to help.”

  “To be honest, I agreed because I like you.”

  I snorted and rolled my eyes. “You like everyone has a female part.”

  “Ouch. I’m wounded. I do have tastes, baby. I might have ten wives and divorced ten times if I was willing to marry anyone who came to me.”

  “Are you sure I am your first wife?”

  “Hopefully, the last.”

  I let that last words go. “Where are Blaze and Elise, Mykel?”

  “They will fly commercial first class in a few hours. Don’t worry. They’ll be home in the morning. You can call Blaze once we land.”

  We shared our first meal as a husband and wife then I dozed off. Mykel was on his laptop when I got up from my nap.
