"We are here, you know?" Rex drawled, but his lips were twitching.
"What did he lie about?" Giulia inquired, ignoring him.
I almost told her it was none of her business, but... I'd inadvertently stirred camaraderie among us.
That was unexpected, but helpful.
"That's none of your business," Rachel slotted in on my behalf, but her head had angled to the side as if she were just as curious.
She'd given me an out but I decided not to take it.
"He tried to entrap me," I told them simply.
Rachel frowned. "I'm an attorney—"
"Not like that. He fed me information because he wanted to know if I'd use it in an article."
"That's it?" Nyx's scowl told me he was unimpressed by my logic.
Giulia pinched his arm. "Shut up, you. If you did that to me, when writing shit for newspapers was my job, you'd have ten more piercings, Mr. Frankendick."
Nyx stunned the hell out of me by grinning. "You make that sound like a punishment."
Jesus…were they going to kiss?
All of a sudden, the air had electricity zipping through the atmosphere. It was so fierce and so ferocious that it was like the onset of a storm.
Someone let loose a piercing whistle, loud enough and close enough to make my ears ring.
"Back it up, you two. There are minors present."
Lily beamed, her hand outstretched as she declared, "Link, meet Savannah."
The blond guy ambled over to me, curling his arm over Lily's shoulder as he said, "Pleasure to meet you. You're the chick from TVGM, aren't you?"
"I am."
"Can I just say, on behalf of men everywhere, my dick ached on that jackass's behalf. It was fucking awesome. Asswipe deserved worse."
My old workplace had had a toxic environment, one that I’d taken it upon myself to cleanse.
I had a feeling my ex-boss had gotten worse than a sprained dick when I’d honey-trapped him. The bastard used a casting couch in exchange for promotions…Not anymore.
Maybe Aidan wasn't all bad.
Suddenly feeling more cheerful at the prospect of Aidan torturing my rapist fuck of an ex-boss, I had to grin at Link. "There was a lot of built-up annoyance in that hit."
"I could tell." He tipped his head to the side. "Your other half here?"
"No."
"He lied to her, Link."
Link arched a brow at his Old Lady. "How bad of a lie? Fifteen-to-life or a white one?"
"He gave her the wrong intel and wanted to see if she'd publish it," Rex murmured, soothing his daughter who started fussing.
Did these uber masculine guys with all this baby paraphernalia realize how cute they looked?
