“I knew you’d like him,” he tells me, sounding a little smug.
“Who wouldn’t …” I start, realizing Scarlett wouldn’t.
She’s allergic, and she’s not really a pet kind of person, besides.
“Exactly,” he says, smiling at the tiny cat.
Clearly, they have no idea my sister isn’t an animal lover.
So, I pet the kitty a little longer.
His owner seems sweet, and he’s just as attractive as his friend.
Rueben is tall, with pale skin and green eyes. I can see tattoos on his right arm but they’re a little faded, so he probably got them when he was a teenager. He has as much Alpha energy as the other guy, but he also seems kind of scattered and it definitely feels like the other guy is in charge.
“Okay,” the other guy says, clearing his throat. “You can put the probie away now, Rueben.”
“Aw, Cap.” Rueben pouts a little before he leaves the room with the kitten.
“And put on real clothes before you come back,” he calls after him.
He shakes his head when a groan comes back in response.
“Sorry about that,” he says. “This is where the cleaning stuff is.”
He opens the cupboard.
“Start where you want down here. I’ll be back in a second.”
He disappears, and I hear him go upstairs where Rueben just went a second ago.
I want to text Scarlett so badly. I can’t believe she didn’t tell me these guys were Alphas.
I know I’ll only be distracted if I do it now, so I put the purse down on one of the kitchen chairs, and I start bringing out the cleaning supplies.
I might as well get started on the job I’m here to do.
Chapter seventeen
Rueben
My heart’s racing as I bolt up the stairs and back into my room. I want to get back down there as quickly as possible. Scarlett’s here, and she actually smiled at me like she meant it!
That’s a first.
Usually, she tries to avoid us, which makes getting any kind of response impossible.
I’m pretty sure she thinks we’re boring because we don’t do creative work like she does.
It’s been so damn hard trying to convince her to give us a chance. We’d basically given up when she walked into that bar with her friends.
Now, that felt like fate.
We’d all heard about her hustle from her girlfriends, and Bishop proposed we turn the tables on her.
Best idea our lead Alpha ever had. Now she’s going to be hanging around all week, and we’ll get the chance to show her what she’s been missing out on.
I set the kitten down in the little pen I set up for him last night.
