That evening, when Mitchel returned, Raegan briefed him about the need for a testing agency.

Mitchel didn't ask any questions. He simply had Matteo send the agency's address to Raegan and take care of the arrangements.

Raegan, delighted, grasped Mitchel's face and planted a kiss on him, saying sweetly, "Thank you, honey."

She was just about to step out and call Nicole.

Mitchel grabbed her, pulled her onto his lap, and teased, “That's it? That's how you thank me?"

Mitchel's gaze was deep and exploring, as though he could look right through Raegan.

Raegan instinctively checked her appearance. The earlier commotion had left her towel slightly uneven.

Mitchel's schedules with business trips and Raegan's caring for the babies had kept them from being intimate for nearly half a month.

Raegan blushed and quickly said, "I'll go check if the little ones are asleep..."

As she moved to turn around, Mitchel swiftly pulled her back, settling her securely on his lap. His voice was smooth and rich, reminiscent of a cello on a lazy afternoon. "The babies are with my mom next door, and Janey's there too. They're not here tonight..."

While Mitchel spoke, his large hand gently held her waist, his other arm supporting him against the desk, effectively pinning her against it.

Raegan's cheeks turned a deep red as she whispered, "No, this is the study. The servants might see us..."

"They're all on vacation, Mitchel informed her, loosening the only knot on her robe."

Her robe slipped to the floor, her hair spilling over the antique desk, casting a spell of allure.

"Vacation..." Raegan murmured, her cheeks glowing bright red, her heartbeat racing.

“I arranged it," Mitchel whispered, leaning in. He planted kisses on her neck and collarbone, marking her skin with gentle nips and sucks.

“Mh... Honey..." Raegan's voice was soft.

“Tonight, you can express whatever you want." His voice grew raspy.

“There's nobody here."

Mitchel made tonight his alone time with Raegan with every servant away on vacation and their children taken next door by Luciana. All arrangements were made earlier in the day.
