“Then, we’ll grab him and bring him here.”
“Good. I’m heading home now.”
Seamus followed me toward my car that waited for me outside again. “I know this must be hard for you, but maybe it wasn’t Aislinn. Maybe someone broke into the car while it was parked at the airport.”
“Don’t worry, Seamus. My heart won’t break if it was Aislinn. I’m sure I’ll get plenty of pity fucks as a young widower.”
Seamus nodded but the worry remained on his face. I wanted to smash it in. I didn’t need his concern or pity.
I got in my car and raced away. I fucking hoped it wasn’t Aislinn, but she had reason to betray me. She hadn’t wanted to marry me, and the police might have tempted her with her sister.
Aislinn and Finn were waiting for me at the dinner table. She’d prepared a moussaka and it was absolutely delicious, but my mind was busy. I tried to find a hint of her betrayal on her face. She had been acting tense since Finn had arrived but it made sense. What if she had been tense for other reasons?
“Lorcan?”
I met her gaze. She lifted the serving spoon. “Do you want more?”
I held out my plate and she filled it with another piece of the eggplant dish. I needed to enjoy her cooking skills while I could. Bitterness spread throughout my body. Aislinn pursed her lips in confusion but continued to chat with Finn when she realized I wasn’t in a talkative mood.
When she disappeared in Finn’s room to read him bedtime stories, I let my eyes scan the apartment. Where would I hide a bug? That was probably the wrong question, though. Where would someone unfamiliar with the underworld hide a bug? I ran my palms over the underside of the table and quickly found a bump. I wedged my fingernail under it and it came lose. It was the same type of bug as in my car. I put it back. As long as Desmond wasn’t in our hands, I didn’t want to make the police suspicious.
I got up and checked a few more places in the kitchen and living room before I moved on to the bedroom. Aislinn was shy about sex in public, so for her to put a bug in our bedroom must have been hard, but if she worked with the police, they would demand it. I approached the bed and ran my palms over the underside of the bed frame. Nothing.
Then I reached behind the headboard and sure enough there was another one. I put that one back too then sat down on the edge of the bed. Though I didn’t know for sure, everything pointed to Aislinn as the mole. Of course, the police could have broken into my car and apartment to hide the bugs. It had happened to others before.
The door opened and Aislinn stepped in, dressed in an apricot nightgown with lace trim. She regarded me for a moment before she came over to me. I could demand answers from her now, show her the bugs, and see how she reacted, but fuck, I didn’t want to do this now.
“Hard day,” I muttered.
“Because of Finn.”
“No. He was good.”
She nodded. “He usually is, but he, too, has his moments.” She stopped right in front of me and touched my shoulders. My body sprang to life from the simple contact. Aislinn had placed me under a spell.
I fell back and pulled her on top of me. Right this moment, I didn’t want to talk, not just because of the bug. I didn’t want to consider the future. I wanted to enjoy my wife, maybe for the last time.
I fucking hoped she wasn’t the culprit. I kissed Aislinn harshly, and she returned the kiss with the same fervor. I’d worked her up enough that she could take my cock. “Ride me,” I ordered.
She climbed on top of me. This was the first time we tried this position. Aislinn’s eyes met mine as she positioned herself over my dick. The fire in her green eyes went straight to my cock. She lowered herself slowly onto my length, and I groaned, especially when her nails scraped over my chest as she settled on my base. Her lips parted, letting out a soft moan and her eyes rolled back in her head. She began to ride me, her hips rotating slowly, but she didn’t raise her hips. She kept me as deeply as I would go inside of her. I loved watching her, the passion on her face, the stark contrast of her red hair against her pale skin. One strand stuck to her tit and I brushed it aside, wanting to see her perky nipple. Aislinn gave me a smile. It wasn’t teasing or smug. It was honest, gentle. Why did she have to give me that look now? I sat up and pulled her in for a kiss. My hands on her hips guided her movements, keeping the rhythm slow. She regarded me curiously. I loved to fuck her like a wild animal. Hard, deep, and fast. But right now, I wanted this.
