“She will be staying with me,” Rylee announces.
“We know,” Bane sighs, and I look at him. He stands against the wall beside Lawson, his focus on me and Hunter.
“I’ll allow visits, but no sleepovers,” she continues.
This time, Hunter holds a sandwich to my lips. I take a bite.
“Sleepovers are the best,” Sally chimes in as she sits at the table in front of us.
“Whose side are you on?” Rylee asks.
“Haven’s.” She smiles and winks at me.
“Rylee—” Hunter slides a cracker between my lips. Before he can remove his finger, I bite him. His eyes narrow.
“Careful, Princess,” he rumbles. “Don’t bite off more than you can chew.” I make a show of chewing, and then I lick my lips. He tracks the motion of my tongue. A low growl comes from where Lawson is standing.
“I know what we should do.” Sally jumps up. “Dance.”
“No,” Sally’s mates say at the same time.
“Excuse me, boyfriends.” Sally puts her hands on her hips.
“Do you want us to kill someone?” Luca asks.
“It'll be fine,” she says. “Rylee?”
“I’m always up for a dance.” She gets up and looks down at me. “Haven.”
“Uh…no.” I scoot back on the couch. “I'm not a dancer.”
“We’ll dance around you,” Rylee says. She gives me a look, her eyes wide, and I’m not sure what she’s trying to say.
“No, really.” Being on display in front of strangers isn’t my idea of fun. I never learned how to dance. I was the one at the school dances standing in the corner.
“I think she wants girl time more than actually to dance,” Sally says.
“Sally,” Rylee hisses.
“What? Just trying to be helpful.” She grins and walks toward the door.
“This is a horrible idea,” Quinn says.
“I’m in,” Stephanie says.
“Mate,” he growls.
“Let’s do it,” Daisy says, joining Sally.
“Daisy,” Micah says softly.
“Don’t worry, Daddy,” Daisy says, gliding her hand across his chest as she moves away.
“Come on, Haven,” Rylee says, holding out her hand. My mind is stuck on what Daisy called Micah.
“We won’t dance,” Serenity says, leaving Ryker’s side.
“Just the girls,” Marie says, pressing her hand to Bash’s chest when he starts to follow her. I straighten and take Rylee’s hand.
