“I saw her tear down the bridge to the North Tower, then take down damn near every shade between there and you. Trust me, she can manage some shopping on her own.” Wade walked into the room, a cup in his hand. “In fact, next Black Friday, I’m taking her with me to score the best deals. She’ll be able to clear out any competition.”
I frowned and gestured at his coffee. “Where’d you get that?”
“Gas station.”
“You aren’t supposed to go out.” I shoved the words out through gritted teeth.
“It’sfine,” he assured me before taking a drink of the coffee. “Whereas you two look like the type people notice, I am unfailingly forgettable. It is one of my few redeeming qualities. I look like any young college student, or even like a high school senior trying to look older. No one looks twice at me.”
“And you didn’t get me any?” Knox managed to look downright offended. “I thought we were friends.”
“You share women with your friends—not coffee. Come on, now, some things are sacred!”
Knox reached out and snatched the cup from Wade, who gasped and pressed his now empty hand to his chest. “You just wait, buddy. The next time you want to quiet your incubus, I’ll leave you flat on your ass!”
I turned from the two and back to Hera, trying to ignore the bickering of the children. “You should just get going. They’ll keep this up for a long time.”
Hera nodded, fumbling with the strap of her bag as if uncomfortable. It made me chuckle, that oddly innocent sweetness she had.
She nodded, then took a step toward the door. I stopped her with a hand around her arm and tugged her back to me, not giving a damn if the other two saw. I offered one more short passionate kiss before pulling back to look into her eyes. “Be careful,” I repeated.
Hera’s tongue touched her lip, as if she missed my taste, and I forced myself to let her go and step away before I took her right there.
She turned away and left, a quickness in her steps that suggested her cheeks were bright red.
I twisted to find the other two no longer bickering, but instead staring at me with wide grins, as if they’djust gotten treated to the most amusing sight they’d ever seen.
I narrowed my eyes into a glare, then flipped them both off before storming back into the main area of the empty shop.
And I tried my hardest to ignore the laughter from behind me.
