“What the fuck did that mean?” Silas asks, confusion painted on his face.
“She was inside my office, Silas,” I reply, waiting for him to catch on.
Long moments pass as Silas stares at me vacantly before it hits him. “Fuck!” Silas exclaims before hightailing it out of my office.
Maybe I should have Kira help with the training from now on.
Chapter Twelve
Kira
Having Talia here is more than I could ever ask for. She’s my best friend, my soul mate in a sense. Talia is one of those people who infects you with life. She makes sure you know your worth and that you never doubt yourself, building you up from the inside out.
“You’re mean,” I say through a laugh.
“He called me a pup,” Talia scoffs. “Of course I was going to be mean.”
We are sitting at the kitchen counter, having a glass of wine, just catching up.
“True, but I do feel sorry for him,” I say after taking a sip of my rosé.
“Do tell.” Talia leans forward.
“It’s the second time this month his men have had their asses handed to them by a female,” I reply sheepishly.
Laughter bubbles from Talia, and it’s so infectious I can help but join in.
“Ladies,” Rowan says as he walks into the kitchen. He circles the counter and kisses me deeply. “Glad to see you’re having fun.”
“Oh, just a little,” Talia replies with a grin.
“At the cost of my beta, no doubt,” Rowan says from where he rummages inside the fridge.
“Lasagna is in the green Tupperware, Rowan,” I tell him without looking at him.
“Thanks, love.” He kisses the top of my head before finding himself a plate.
“First,” Talia starts explaining, “it’s not my fault his men aren’t trained properly.”
I nod in agreement.
“Second, he called me a pup. How would you feel if I walked around sayinghi kitty-kitty?”
Rowan raises his hands in surrender. “I’m not arguing with you. Just requesting that you take it easy on him. He’s had to deal with a lot these past two weeks.”
“He’s right, Tal,” I add. “Me being here hasn’t made things easy for Silas.”
Talia scoffs but doesn’t say anything.
“I was thinking,” Rowan interjects. “That if Talia isn’t in a rush to head home, she might like to stay for a while. She could stay with us.”
Talia gags loudly. “You guys are all love, cuddles, and sex. I break out in hives if I’m too close to that shit.”
“Or she could stay in your dad’s house,” Rowan said. “Maybe the two of you could help Silas with the training.”
“I love that idea.” I smile at Rowan. “But it’s your choice, Tal.” I look toward her.
“I could hang around for a couple of days.” She smiles brightly.
