“What?” he sputters, his voice ruff and confused.
“Bye, sheriff.”
Hanging up, I cover my mouth with my hand, a giggle bursting out of me. I can’t believe I just did that.
My phone starts ringing in my hand almost immediately, and it’s Ryan. Laughing, I press ignore, and head back downstairs, an extra spring in my step.
“So, how did it go?” Ally asks when I walk back into the living room.
“Very well.” I laugh. “I left him right on the edge. And then I hung up.”
“Oh my God, Ashley.” She groans, covering her eyes.
“What? It’s fun teasing him. And it’ll be worth it later.” I wink, smiling wickedly.
“I’m glad you’re feeling better.” She laughs, sipping her coffee. “Happiness looks good on you.”
“I could say the same for you.”
“It’s weird, right?”
“What?”
“Feeling happy.”
“Yeah.” I smile. “It is. But I think I’ll adjust just fine.”
Chapter 25
After my little phone call with Ryan, Ally and I had the best afternoon. We talked and laughed, sharing stories about Ryan and Jake. Apparently being sexy alphas who are kings in the bedroom is a family trait.
“I’ve missed this,” I tell her.
“Me, too. Do you think that you’ll be staying?”
“Staying?”
“Yeah, here in Pine Cove.”
“Uh, I don’t know. He asked me to stay when I was in the hospital, but I don’t know if he meant permanently.”
“But you want to.”
“Yeah. I just don’t want to be the one to bring it up.”
“How about I invite Jake over, and we all have dinner together? Maybe I can find a way to bring it up organically.”
“I don’t want an audience for that, Ally.”
“Okay, fine.” She sighs. “But I still think we should have dinner together. How fun would it be? Brothers dating best friends?”
“I guess…”
“Okay, good. I’ll tell Jake to come over. When will Ryan be home?”
“Six. But, uh, he’s going to expect us to be alone.”
“Well, too bad. You can have sex after we leave.”
