Don't Touch (23 page)

Ryan came out the front door and greeted
Jackson with a searing kiss. “I was hoping you’d be able to talk
him into it.”

Jack grinned at the beauty in his arms. “I
haven’t really told him yet. I figured it would be best to show
him.”

Tom pulled them apart feeling a bit left out.
“Unless you’re going to kiss me like that I suggest you spill the
beans.”

Ryan took his hand and led them inside. On
the wall of the office was a banner. “Royal Private
Investigations.” He started to chuckle. “Royal?”

Nodding the only woman in the company put an
arm around each of their waists. “Yeah, he’s a prince, you’re a
lord, you know.”

Giving her a mock cross expression. “Then
where do you come in.”

“I Reign over you all. So are you going to
jump in our boat or continue to struggle up stream by
yourself?”

Looking back at the sign then around the
room. “That depends.” Tom looked at Jackson grinning mischief
sparkling in his dark eyes. “Let her kiss me like that one time and
I’m in.”

As Jackson snorted and started to point a
finger, Ryan pulled the other Tom down with by his tie and let him
have his wish. When she let him go to sign for a delivery of
equipment.

Tom just stood there and blinked for a
moment. Jack snickered then handed Tom a huge hand book. “All new
ball game my friend. And don’t get any ideas on the doctor.”

“We have to test on all this stuff for
licensing? And I can have all the ideas I want about our good
doctor over there.”

Jack grinned as Ryan walked back over. “Only
until we’re married.”

Tom gapped. “Married? Then we have to go
celebrate, shop’s closed for the day my treat.”

On their way out the door starting a new life
for the three of them Jackson whispered in Ryan’s ear. “See I told
you he’s slacking already.”

Laughing she kissed him softly. “You’re just
peeved he beat you to it. I can see I’m going to have my hands full
with you two.”

Jackson locked the door and took her hand.
Pulling off the glove he kissed her palm. Watching her smile as she
picked up on his thoughts he grinned and walked her to the car. She
was definitely not going to say don’t touch to him any more.
