Olive studied me for a moment before nodding. “I want updates from her so I know she’s okay. But dude, if she’s not your wife the next time I see her, you will wish it was Jonah coming after you. Unlike him, I have no balls and therefore no empathy for what it would be like to have them cut off and shoved up my ass.”
I couldn’t help the grin that curved my lips, and I shook my head. “You know what, Olive? I believe you.” There was just something about her that told me she wasn’t bluffing. “And thank you for taking care of my girl until it was my turn.”
Her expression softened just a fraction, but it was enough to know that I’d win her over eventually, as long as I made Faith happy.
I decided to extend another olive branch—no pun intended—and give her my trust. “We’re headed to Paris. I’ll text you the number and have Faith call you as soon as we’re settled.”
“Thank you.” She gave me a soft smile and turned around, walking away without a backward glance.
Taking just a moment to collect myself, I sucked in a deep breath and let it out, then opened the door.

I slid onto the bench seat and shut the door, then picked up the phone that contacted my driver to tell him to take us to the private airport I’d just landed at a few hours before. I was careful to keep my voice low so that I didn’t have Faith fighting me about where we were headed before I could tell her what had happened while I was away.
After sending a text to Lake, the pilot I used when Ginger and Dean weren’t available, I pivoted to see Faith had moved to the seat that ran along the side of the limousine. She was fuming. Her arms were crossed, her skin flushed, and her angry breaths made me think about how she’d sound when she was working herself hard while riding my cock.
Licking my lips, I tore my gaze away and tried to calm the tidal wave of desire trying to pull me under. My dick was full and heavy, aching for release. Back the fuck off, I snarled at it in my head. After another slow inhale and exhale, I felt in control enough to return to my conversation with Faith.
I opened my mouth to start talking but found that I couldn’t handle the distance. Without warning, I grabbed her around the waist and yanked her onto my lap.
“Hey!” She wiggled around, and I hissed as her delectable ass ground on top of my erection.
“Sit still, or I will tie you up,” I rasped as I halted her movements by gripping her hips so tight, she would probably have bruises in the morning. And there would be a few more from holding her while I fucked her young, untouched pussy tonight. Knowing she was fertile and ready to accept my seed was making it even more difficult to keep my head on straight.
Faith gasped but didn’t fight my hold. “What could you possibly say that would explain why you disappeared and didn’t bother to contact me again until today?”
“If you’ll close that pretty little mouth and listen, I’ll explain.”
She glared at me but pressed her lips together, indicating that she was doing as I asked.
“Are you familiar with Worlds Together?” I asked.
She nodded.
“Are you aware that it’s one of my charity foundations?” Faith’s cheeks turned pink, and I couldn’t help smirking. “Did a little digging on me, huh?”
“I was just curious,” she muttered, her plump lips forming a cute pout.
I put exploring that information on my to-do list for a later time, like after we’d used up all the reserves of sexual tension and desire from the past eleven months.
“We build up communities all over the world, and right now, we have a huge project in Greece. It’s a small town, surrounded by even smaller villages, right on the coast.”
Faith gasped. “Were they affected by the earthquake?”
“They were only a handful of miles from the epicenter. There was some significant damage, and that’s the call I received right before I told you I was leaving.”
Her lips formed a little O, and some of the anger seeped out as realization dawned. “Were you there when the tsunami hit?” She sounded absolutely terrified by the prospect, and while it thrilled me to know she cared, I didn’t like seeing her scared.
I slipped my arms around her and drew her close. She was a tiny thing, especially compared to me, but somehow, she found a groove that she fit in as if it had been made for her.
“I arrived a few hours after the last wave.”
I went on to tell her about the experience, and to my surprise, it spilled out as if a dam had broken. I hadn’t intended to give her more than a brief overview, but I couldn’t stop the flow of words coming from my mouth.
