Chapter 17
Harlan took me away.
Before leaving, he held my hand and stared straight at Garrick.
“We are already married.”
“Some people need to stop flattering themselves, okay?”
He didn’t name names.
But the target was crystal clear.
Apparently afterward.
Garrick’s face went from green to purple, and he threw a massive tantrum.
But I didn’t give a shit anymore.
Because I had someone at home to smooth things over with.
In the bedroom.
I straddled Harlan.
And told him the whole story from beginning to end.
‘I didn’t mention Garrick at first because I was afraid you’d overthink it, honey…”
‘In my heart he’s just a stranger, but I was worried you’d be bothered…”
Harlan made a dismissive sound.
You hiding it from me is what bothers me!”
traced circles on his chest with my finger.
I’m sorry, I didn’t think it through, honey…”
Plus we used this whole thing to go public with our marriage, right? Can we call it even?”
Harlan’s hands slipped around my waist.
‘Kiss me.”

I obediently leaned in and kissed him.
He seemed satisfied.
Seeing that he didn’t seem angry anymore, I took the opportunity to ask:
“Since it was your business dinner, you knew all along, didn’t you?”
He closed his eyes, his large hands rubbing my back.
“Mmm.”
“But why did you accept a dinner invitation from Garrick’s company? You never accepted them when I was working there…”
“He was harassing you. I found him annoying.”
“Wanted to mess with him a little.”
“Let him think he could land the contract, only to find out it was all for nothing–isn’t that more fun than just rejecting him outright?”
I poked his chest.
“How did I never notice you were this devious before?”
Harlan’s eyes narrowed.
“I can be even worse. Want to see?”
Before I could react, he’d already flipped me underneath him.
My lips were sealed with his.
“Mmph…”
“Hubby…”
“Mmm, sounds so good,baby.”
“…?”
“Wait!”
“Can’t wait.”
