were in Vancouver when we were actually on the other side of the world.
“Wednesday night so I’ll be back to work on Thursday. Kat, too.”
“Great, is she around? I have good news for her too.”
My eyes went wide, and I shook my head. Then grabbed the sheet off the bed and covered up. “I’m here,” I waved my hand in front of the camera but kept my face far away from it. “I look awful, but yes, I’m here. You can tell me the news without looking at me, right?”
All three guys laughed.
“Yeah, sure. I’ll just imagine you being happy when I offer you the new team leader job on the white-box game testing? You get to hire your own team and train them to your specifications.”
I dropped the sheet and my jaw and let out a whoop. This time Lucas did zero in on my bouncing boobs when I jumped up and down. Good boy… that was more like it.
“Do you want me to narrate? She’s throwing her arms in the air and yelling and looking quite happy.”
“Thank you, Adam! I’m super excited.”
“Good. We’ll see you two back next week. I hope all is well with you and your family, Kat.”
“It is now, thank you.”
“All right, I’ll let you get back to your catnap.” Adam, ever the professional boss, didn’t even put air quotes around that catnap. Jordan totally would have done that.
Lucas signed off with the guys and I ran to him and jumped into his arms before he could even put the phone down. He wrapped those arms around me tight and pulled me off my feet. I went flying up, kicking my legs. “You can run but you can’t hide! I’ll still be over in the Den and you’ll be in the other building, but I’ll find you.”
“Good, maybe we’ll have a quicky in that bathroom off the workshop.”
“Gross, that sounds like something Jordan would do.”
I gave him a quick smooch. “That’s all I get?”
“I’m getting in the shower. More later. Guaranteed.” I ran for the bathroom.
“I still waiting for the full experience on one of those next level BJs!” he called after me.

Five minutes later.
She wasn’t in the shower three minutes before the phone rang again. This time it was Jordan and just Jordan. “Hey Jordan. I don’t know what you did to convince him, but thank God you did it.”
Jordan pulled a face. “Don’t thank me, thank your wife.” I threw and involuntary glance toward the bathroom. “Is she there?”
“She’s in the shower. Why what did she do?”
“Well Adam was, as I predicted, damn furious about the whole thing. Your leaving, my leaving. He ripped me a brand new asshole for that one. You owe me huge, junior.”
“I’ll make it up to you. But… what changed Adam’s mind if he was so pissed at me?”
“Mia…what do you think? Probably the only person on the face of this planet who can change his mind about anything.”
I shook my head. “And how did… hmm.”
“Yes, you’ve followed the logic trail. Sometime in the last day or so, Kat called Mia and asked her to work her magic on her raging Incredible Hulk.”
“’Hey, big guy. The Sun’s getting real low?’” I quoted.
He laughed. “Something like that. Anyway, I was hoping she was there so I could congratulate her on her ingenious thinking. But since she’s wet and naked right now, I better let you go so you can go at ‘er.”
“Thanks man, I appreciate you letting me know. I’ll keep you posted on everything and I will definitely be back to work on Thursday.”
“Right on. See ya.”
I dropped the phone onto the bed and stared in wonder at the bathroom door. Wow, when had she managed that? How? The only time we were separated in the last two days was during a three-hour flight layover. We’d split up to quickly tackle the problem of my lack of luggage. She’d sent me into a couple clothing and gift shops to buy some replacement clothes and underwear. Meanwhile she’d run to grab basic toiletries like a toothbrush, toothpaste and a razor for me. She must have made the call then.
She was sneaky, my wife. And it was time to give her a taste of her own medicine. Turned out shower sex was now my favorite way to scrub down with my wife.
Hours later, we were fully dressed and in tourist mode, threading in and out of a throng of people. We were in the Asan market scoping out souvenirs. Kat
