“I am?”Kyra asked Ollie, trying not to glare.Why did he think he could keep her to himself if he didn’t plan to make a move?
In the face of her ire, he surprised her.He didn’t retreat this time.Instead, he stepped closer and took her hand in his.“Yep.I asked Devra to make us something special to share.You wouldn’t want to ruin her efforts, would you?”
“I wouldn’t miss out on Devra’s cooking for anything.”Kyra relented.It was impossible to stay annoyed when he was so damn nice and had put in extra effort for her.Somehow it didn’t even piss her off that he’d assumed she’d eat with him.Hell, that’s all she’d wanted—for him to take initiative.Give her some sign that he still felt like he had before their kiss, which had changed everything.At least with Van she no longer doubted he was physically attracted to her after he’d ravaged her, even if he regretted it later.“Thanks for going to the trouble to do something that sweet for me.”
“I told Van I’d take care of you for him, and I meant it.”He took his promises seriously.But still, she resented his motivation.
“I wish you’d do it because you want to, not because you were ordered to.”Shit, she hadn’t meant to say that out loud.But now that she had, it hung in the icy air like an icicle that could snap off and stab her through the heart at any moment.
“This sounds messy,” Dane said, shaking his head and taking a step back.“I’m not into drama.”
Kyra fought the urge to roll her eyes at him.“What relationship do you know of that’s drama-free?”
“I guess that’s why we only do hook-ups.”Dane shrugged.
“Weas in, we separately hook up with women, or do you meanwehook up with each other, or likewehook up with women together?”Kyra figured she’d come this far.Might as well stuff her footallllllthe way down her throat.Ollie and Trevon tried to look like they weren’t paying rapt attention but she knew they were curious, too, even if she was the only one rude enough to ask point blank.
Dane and Walker didn’t seem to mind being frank.They fist bumped each other before Walker said, “Whatever we feel like that night.But let’s just say we accepted Quinn’s job offers because we thought we might fit in pretty well around here.”
Trevon grinned, making Kyra realize that although he adored his wife and their husband, even he was sometimes still unsure of how the world would treat them because of their unconditional love.Without thinking about it too much, she leaned over and hugged him.
Ollie chuckled.“Well, shit.If it’s good enough for all of you, maybe that’s what I should be looking for too.”
Say what?
Kyra was glad she was hanging on to Trevon or she might have landed flat on her ass on the garage floor.
