“Good girl,” he murmured, taking the glass from her hand. He moved to sit next to her, pulling her to him, tucking her under his arm.
Leaning forward to pick her tea back up, she looked over at Jake and Shane. “I’m sorry I ruined your night.” She was so embarrassed for how she’d reacted.
“Darlin’, you didn’t ruin anything.” This from Shane.
She smiled. “But you were going to get lucky.”
Jake grinned. “Don’t worry about us. Hell, Shane’s already fucked his way through half the state of North Carolina.”
“Jake, don’t be so crude. She’s a lady,” Shane snapped.
“Sorry, ma’am.” He leaned towards her and whispered. “But it’s the truth.”
She tried not to laugh.
“Yeah, and you were a choirboy.”
Jake grinned. “Damn straight.”
“North Carolina? Is that where you’re from?” Shannon asked, turning to Shane.
Crash toyed with the curls of her hair as she sipped on her tea.
“No, ma’am. I’m a Georgia boy. Jake’s from Mississippi. North Carolina’s where our base was. Ft. Bragg.”
“I see. Well, you still have time to head back over to the bar. See if your girls are still there.”
Jake’s brows rose, and he gave a short laugh. “Not likely.”
“They were pretty hot. I’m sure they’ve already replaced us,” Shane replied.
“Now I really feel bad.”
“Darlin’, how hard-up do you think we are?” Shane grinned. “Hell, we’ve been back for a couple of months. It’s not like we haven’t gotten some.”
Shannon grinned. “Right.”
“Now you’re embarrassing her,” Jake said.
“Me? You were the one cussing.”
“Are you two always like this?” Crash asked, indicating their tendency to banter back and forth at each other.
Shane grinned. “Pretty much.”
Crash nodded. “You’ll fit right in.”
Shannon set her empty mug on the table, yawning. “Well, if you’ll excuse me, gentleman, I think I’m going to get some sleep.” She made a move to rise, and both Jake and Shane stood.
“Yes, ma’am,” Jake responded.
“Good night.” Shane winked at her.
“Do you have pillows and blankets for them?” Shannon asked Crash.
He stood and smiled down at her. “I’ll probably have to swipe a few off the bed. I’ll take care of them. You go on to bed, Princess.” He cupped the back of her head and pressed his lips to her forehead.
After she disappeared into the bathroom, Crash turned to the two men. “Let’s take this outside so we don’t disturb her.” He nodded his head toward the door to the rooftop. Shane and Jake nodded and followed him out.
