“Before I met him, I thought he must have seen me around and wanted all of my time. When I Found out he was my mate, I wondered if it was because he was jealous and didn’t want me servicing anyone else. Now that I’ve met him, I know it’s because he doesn’t like sharing. He’s just possessive. He hates me Gabby, he fucking hates me,” I whispered. My vision blurred and I refused to blink, willing them to disappear.“First off, any man would go crazy over you. That outfit last night?” Gabe said as he brought his fingers to his lips, made a kissing noise as he pushed them out and away from his face. “Chefs kiss. I’m sure you had every man in the club ready to eat out of your hands,” Gabe said confidently. “And if he’s possessive? Let him think whatever he wants. You belong to you and only you,” Gabe said firmly as he looked into my eyes. “As for hate? No way, Pr-Ady. It’s impossible to hate you. I’m sure he’s just lie every other possessive alpha out there. He needs to have you all to hims
Gabe’s gaze lowered and a look of uncertainty crossed his features before he looked at me. A mischievous smile pulled at both corners of his lips and he wriggled his eyebrows. Instead of saying something, he turned from me and pointed at the fruits all over the floor. I followed his line of sight before it darted to the counters where the juice and chunks of squished fruits lay scattered.“Well?” I asked. “Don’t keep me waiting!”“Where do I even begin?” Gabe sighed dramatically. I opened my mouth, but before I could say anything, he spoke. “I was sitting on the counter, being cute, as I always am when he attacked sweet, innocent old me!”“How about we not pretend?” I giggled. Gabe had the audacity to look shocked before he flicked his pretend hair over his shoulder.“Fine,” he sing-songed. “I was watching him make soup when he walked over to me. He practically pinned me where I sat on the counter!” Gabe said in mock shock.“I bet you just loved that,” I teased.“You know me so well.
Gabe leaned into him and practically sucked Leos’ face. My eyes widened in shock and I looked back down at my bowl of soup as wet kissing noises reached my ears. Picking up my spoon, I cleared my throat and scooped some into my mouth. The sounds continued and when someone gasped and another growled, I was done. I jumped to my feet and grabbed my bowl.“Well, my shift starts soon,” I said.“Ah, sit down and finish your food, sir,”Gabe said, his cheeks blushing. His voice was filled with lust and I rolled my eyes.“I don’t think you are finished and I need to leave anyway. Don’t let me get in the way,” I teased.“But you just got here,” Gabe whined. “Why don’t you just take a seat and finish your food? I swear there will be no more face eating. Scouts honor,” he said. He lifted his hand into the air as if he were swearing an oath.“Speak for yourself,” Leo laughed. Gabe elbowed him and Leo stepped away and we watched as he made his way to the kitchen.“Don’t stop on our account,” Leo sa
Mavy smiles at me and I attempt my best polite smile but I’m sure it comes out a grimace. Customers I can do, but new people I’m forced to interact with out of my circle? I internally cringe and want to crawl into a hole and die. I suck at girlfriends, I’ve never had them and the way she’s looking at me like she’s craving affection is sending me into my fight or flight response. I take a deep breath to steady myself. I don’t want to come off as a bitch, I just really suck at making friends.“We’ve already been here longer than we normally stay in a single place, so I’m hopeful this is our final destination,” Mavy said cheerfully. The hope in her gaze made me feel like I had to say something.“Fingers crossed you can stay. Auburn is a sweet little town. I don’t have plans on ever leaving,” I said.I started getting my area ready, grabbing clean shot glasses for the drip, refilling the white chocolate powder next to the espresso machine, and checking the chocolate syrup to make sure it
My jaw dropped as my entire body froze. I couldn’t think, couldn’t form words, couldn’t breathe as my lashes fluttered. The memory of last night flashed through my mind, my body warmed as the ghost of his hands all over my body caused a delicious shiver to run down my spine. Mavy squealed and bound over to the drive-thru window, she leaned forward and gripped the lever before pulling it open.My brain still hadn’t started working and I couldn’t hear any of the words that came out of her mouth. All I saw was there mouths moving but his eyes stayed on mine. Only when they darted to Mavy was I able to breathe, to move, to think. Goddess. Why is he here?Mavy looked back over her shoulder at me and smiled before turning back to Shane. She chastised him and he smiled, actually smiled. It was the first time I’d ever seen his lips turn up in anything other than a smirk or snarl. My heart fluttered and my throat dried. I needed to get a hold of myself. This is the man that had hurt me last ni
When I refused to say anything about Shane, Mavy seemed to get the hint and didn’t bring it up for the remainder of our shift. If she was upset she didn’t show it. She went on about something, but the sound of my blood pumping in my ears made it hard to pay attention to anything she said. I just nodded and answered sweetly as she talked. I hid my face until I cooled down and counted down the minutes until I could finally clock out.I ran out of there so fast I’m surprised I didn’t run into the sliding door or fall on my face. I don’t even know how I made it home, I was shocked to realize I had no recollection of the drive. My mind was a jumble of thoughts as every scene with Shane flit through my mind, every shared word with Mavy, and images of Max as he stared at me with so much affection it made me met.Gabe was busy with his shift, so I wouldn’t be seeing him unless he got home before I went in for my shift tonight. I locked the door behind me and was thankful for a clean house. Th
When I walked out of the shower, I wasn’t the least bit surprised that the headboard was still banging against the walls. Leo groaned before begging for more and Gabe must have covered his mouth because his cries were muffled. I couldn’t help but giggle as I walked over to my closet. Tonight would be like every other night. I’d get dressed and go to work. I’d serve my client like I served the others and I wouldn’t let him do what he’d done the night before.Oh, the lies we tell.I don’t want to hear it, Kor.He was delicious. Sex was so good, I had to sleep for hours.I really can’t with you.I pretended to sound angry fought the urge to laugh. She didn’t need anymore reason to think she was right. I didn’t need to admit it for the both of us to know what I thought of him. There was nothing that needed to be shared because there was no secrets between us. She was my other half and I hers. Just because I could feel her didn’t mean I could understand why she felt the way she did. I wish
Before I could even attempt to explain that no man will tell me if I’m available or not, Randy placed my shots in front of me. He nodded to me and I gave him a thankful smile before noticing there was an extra. Even Randy thought I needed an extra pick me up. Without another word, I threw them back one at a time. It burned going down until I reached the last one. His gaze darted to Star as she ordered another round. My gaze scanned the room and grazed over women twerking, grinding, and shaking their breasts. I ignored the fact that I was looking for someone and turned back to Star as she spoke.“Do you know how much your cut is yet?” Star asked curiously. Star liked money, I mean we all did, but she really liked numbers. She’d previously been in school for accounting when she realized there wasn’t really any money in it. I shook my head and tried my best to keep the sour expression from my face.“No, not yet, but I don’t plan on quitting,” I said.“Of course not. The money’s too good,”
