Flawed Perfection (An Eve Sumptor Novel) by Jourdyn Kelly

her eye told him she didn’t mind the interruption one bit. In fact, she looked positively happy about it. Bella did that for her. She made Eve happy. And, Adam knew he did, too.
    “Well, your little princess has made it clear she does not want to watch us make out.”
    The laughter in her voice overjoyed Adam.
    “We’ll just have to wait until later, I guess.” He tugged Eve’s arm when she moved to stand up. “Just know, when I get you alone I’m doing whatever I want to you.”
    “Mmm, I’m all yours, amant .”
     

     
    “Hello?”
    “Hi, honey.”
    As always, the sound of Eve’s voice made Lainey’s pulse quicken.
    “Is everything alright?”
    “Yes, of course.”
    “Are you calling to check up on me? Afraid I’m still pining away for you?”
    Eve let out a burst of surprised laughter. That deep, throaty, sexy laughter that Lainey loved so much.
    “I’m going to venture a guess and say Jack isn’t near.”
    “He’s putting the boys to bed. Adam?”
    “Putting Bella to bed,” Eve answered. “And, no, I’m not checking up on you. I called to tell you that I’m having the nanny come and stay with Bella here at the house tomorrow. You and I are going to Branson’s warehouse while the painters work on the gallery.”
    “Ugh, that man chaps my hide.”
    “Chaps your hide?”
    “Stop laughing at me.”
    “How do you know I’m laughing?”
    “I can hear it in your voice. Don’t forget I know you.”
    “I could never forget that, Lainey.”
    Eve hadn’t meant to flirt, or to drop her voice to a sultry whisper. Old habits, she thought.
    Lainey cleared her throat. “Eve.”
    “Can you be here by eight?” she interrupted whatever else Lainey was about to say. Eve knew she probably shouldn’t tease Lainey with the way she’s feeling.
    “Yes.”
    “Lainey, I never want to confuse you more or make you uncomfortable. Some things just …”
    “Come naturally for you,” Lainey finished. Eve was a flirter. She actually hopes Eve never changes that. Even if they can’t be together, she finds it endearing that Eve would flirt with her. “Stop worrying. I’m sorting my feelings out. I want you to be you, and I like when you flirt with me. Don’t let me ruin that by the way I’ve been acting lately.”
    There was a silence between them, but, oddly enough, it wasn’t uncomfortable for the first time in the past couple of days.
    “Hmm. I’ll see you in the morning, honey.” Eve watched as Adam strode in, stripping his shirt off in the process. “Get some rest.” She waited for Lainey’s goodbye and hung up the phone.
    “Everything okay?”
    “You’re half naked. The only thing that could make it better is if you were fully naked.”
    Adam grinned. “Well, then. Who am I to disappoint my beautiful wife?”
    Eve sat back against the headboard and watched as Adam unbuttoned his jeans, and slowly slid the zipper down.
    “Are you enjoying this?”
    “Immensely.” Eve got to her knees on the bed, crooked her finger, beckoning him to come to her.
    Adam climbed the platform, jeans undone, shirt off and completely aroused. He reached under the hem of Eve’s t-shirt (his t-shirt that looked fucking amazing on her), bringing it up when his hands cupped her breasts.
    “So beautiful.”
    Eve hooked her hands in his waistband, tugging his jeans down along with his boxer briefs.
    “Now that’s beautiful.” Eve took Adam in her hand, stroking gently.
    “He’s very happy to see you.”
    Eve chuckled softly. “So I see. Now, do things to me.”
    “My pleasure.”
    He dipped his head and kissed her neck, trailing his tongue across her tanned shoulder. He moved lower, and she threaded her fingers through his hair, gasping when he pulls a nipple into his mouth. His tongue rolls in circles, making it hard and sensitive, while his hand caressed her other breast, pinching the nipple with just enough pressure to make her moan with pleasure. Adam gently pushed Eve down until she was laying on her
