“That’s it,” I said, starting forward. “I’m gonna kill the bitch.”
“No…” Teagan caught my arm and pulled me back to her side, laughing as she did so. “No, you’re not. You know she’s just teasing to get a rise out of you.”
Well, I felt arisen.
Vaughn laughed at whatever she said to him, which kind of hurt my heart, and made me want to introduce my claws to her face. But then his gaze strayed my way, and he shared a look with me that seemed to helplessly say I have no idea what’s happening, and I fell in love with him, right there in Fox and Bella’s living room.
“I love him,” I mumbled in surprise.
Teagan stroked my hair comfortingly. “I know, baby.”
I turned to look at her. “I think I’m gonna go dance too.”
She laughed and splayed out her hand, inviting me to do just that. I scanned the room until I saw Cress and Maverick standing together.
“Mav,” I ordered, snapping my fingers and pointing at him. “You, me, dance floor, now.”
“Oh…” He lifted his hands and shook his head. “I don’t usually dance with women.”
“You do tonight.”
I dragged him a few steps away from Cress, who called after us, “Just keep it above the waistline, baby girl.”
Maverick sent his fiancé a betrayed glance but then let me lead him along. He wasn’t the most relaxed dancer, though, so I had mercy and let him go at the end of the song, only to glance over and find that Vaughn had left the room entirely, and Chloe was now coaxing Julian to dance with her.
But I didn’t care about her. Hungry for another glimpse of the sexy baby uncle, I stumbled my way from the living room and down the hall to the kitchen. My boobs were starting to hurt; it was time for me to pump again, except I was having too much fun. I didn’t want to deal with them and have the night end yet.
When I re
ached the kitchen, I was hugging my chest, but I only found more people that weren’t Vaughn.
“Out back,” Bentley told me, her sober eyes wise and full of knowledge.
I nodded my thanks and started that way. Fox and Bella’s back utility room was dark, but the storm door was open, letting me hear various male voices through the screen in the backyard as I approached.
“Dammit, it’s been too long since I last got laid,” I heard Luke’s voice complaining. “And I’ve been craving pussy lately like you wouldn’t believe.”
I slowed to a stop just on the other side of the screen door and slapped a hand over my mouth, snickering. There must only be men outside, I decided.
Curious what they talked about when no women were around, I stayed where I was for a moment and eavesdropped since I could see them, but they had no idea I was in the darkened room, listening.
Squinting through the screen, I picked out about half a dozen of them sitting around a fire pit and drinking. I could tell that Vaughn had recently joined their ranks because he was opening a beer and finding a seat next to my brother.
“I got laid this morning,” Gracen was announcing cheerfully as he lifted his bottle in salute. “It was awesome.”
He started to take a drink, but Luke, sitting next to him, jabbed at his arm, making him miss and spill beer over his hand instead.
“Hey, fucker,” Gracen grumbled. “It’s not my damn fault you’re not getting any sex.”
“It’s not mine either,” Luke groused. “It’s that bastard Trick’s fault. Every time I even think about getting interested in someone lately, he up and announces he’s already had her.”
“So?” Gray asked, sounding confused.
“Pfft.” Shaking his head, Luke muttered, “Like I’m going to share anything with that prick. And now, I haven’t had sex in over three months! I swear, one of these days, I’m going to find a woman who won’t even look twice at Trick in that way.”
“Did you say three months?” Vaughn barked out a harsh laugh. “You’re whining about three months. Really?”
“Why?” Luke asked, glancing over. “How long’s it been for you?”
