29. Celebrate

"And look!" Leo's excitement was contagious and Reyna found herself grinning and gazing anxiously at what he brought out from behind his back. "I even got champagne."

"And they say romance is dead." Reyna said appreciatively.

"I think you're talking about chivalry."

Reyna leaned up and kissed him. "It doesn't matter," she said. "Thank you."

His smile turned softer. "You just became a partner of your dream law firm." Leo said, grabbing a corkscrew. "Who knows why you want to be a lawyer, but apparently you're a damn good one. It's a cause for celebration." He started to unscrew the cork. "Besides, I'll need you to defend me if I ever commit a crime. Like murdering Drew. She makes me want to get my hammer…." He shook his head. "Anyway, I might kill her someday. So I'm only buttering you up to get a good deal for when I need a lawyer."

"Oh yeah?" Reyna asked, putting her hands up to rest behind his neck. "It has nothing to do with you being proud of your wife? Or happy for me?"

"Nope. Not a thing."

Reyna pouted, feeling playful. "It's not to celebrate my achievement?"

"Nah, you can do that without my help."

"And these chocolates?" Reyna gestured to the box Leo had given her that now sat beside them on the counter beside two champagne glasses. "Those are more bribery?"

"Definitely."

"Hmm.." Reyna tapped her chin. "I want more."

"More?" Leo's eyebrows drew together and he became serious. "Really? I could take you out for dinner…. or we could have a party or something-"

"No." Reyna stood on her tiptoes, getting very close to his face, close enough for her breath to ghost across his lips. "Something else."

"What would that be?" Leo whispered, but by the bob of his Adam's apple and the darkened look in his eyes Reyna was pretty sure he had figured it out.

She decided to give him a hint anyway.

She surged up and pressed her lips to his, arms tightening around his neck as his mouth opened in a groan and her tongue gladly accepted the invitation.

Reyna was just about to pull away and make her way to their bedroom- because she liked sex with Leo anywhere, but she was in the mood for being comfortable- when the sound of a pop filled the room.

And she felt champagne fall down her hair to trickle down her back.

Leo's eyes widened as she let out a very undignified shriek.

"Leo!"

To Reyna's dismay there was no fear in his eyes at her angry tone. The corners of his lips twitched, and then he smiled and, after a few seconds, he couldn't seem to hold it in anymore and burst out laughing.

Reyna felt champagne drip down her face making her mascara run.

"Forget it." She turned, intending to go and take a shower, but Leo grabbed her wrist and stopped her flush against him.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"To wash off," Reyna glowered, "because someone just covered me in champagne."

Leo grinned wolfishly. "I could help with that," he said, before shocking her into staying still as he leaned forward and slowly licked up a trail of champagne from her cheek.

Reyna's breath caught. "Leo…"

"You should wash your face," he admitted. "Because right now you look like a raccoon. A beautiful, sexy raccoon…. but a raccoon."

"Shut up."

Leo smiled at her. "Congratulations," he said softly before letting her lead the way to the shower. "My sexy, lovely lawyer wife."

That night they definitely had a celebration.
