I smacked her ass. “Who’s the naughty one now?” She pinched mine in return. “Still you, Theodore.” Her eyes sparkled when I put her down, wrapping my arms around her waist and picking her up into my arms. Ivy wrapped her legs around me, and I clicked my tongue against the roof of my mouth. “What am I going to do with you?” “Kiss me,” she answered, breathless. She didn’t even need to ask—I always wanted to kiss her.
