“Eliza,” I groaned.
“You’ve been drinking, and you’re dating a mafia boss. Humor me.” Eliza pulled out her mom voice without remorse. I pouted at her, but my resistance ended in a long sigh.
“Fine, Mom! Let’s go, Reapers. Let the girls know I had to go to sleep and be all responsible and shit.”
“Will do!” Eliza grinned when I flipped her off.
The beta fell into step beside me once my best friend was safely inside. He was my silent shadow the entire way back to my place. Only a few cars drove past us, and the few people that were walking down the sidewalk quickly crossed the street to avoid us, or, more correctly, my bodyguard.
When we got to the door, I turned to him with a grin, “You can let my bestie know that you got me here safely. Thanks for walking me back.”
“Of course.” He gave me a half smile that somehow made him look adorable.
Something mischievous hit me when he started to leave. “Oh, by the way, I noticed how you and your president have been eyeing Eliza.” The beta froze and turned back to face with an unsure expression until he saw my grin. “You should ask her about her racing days. She wasn’t always so responsible, you know. I think you’ll be surprised by some of the things she keeps quiet.”
I threw a wink at him before I rushed inside, laughing to myself at his shocked expression. Oh, Eliza was going to yell at me when she found out I’d told him about that small detail of her life in Rothville, New York. I mean, her parents were mechanics, and her dad… Well, he wasn’tjusta mechanic.
I let myself into the apartment and took a quick shower to get the smell of alcohol off of me before I slid into bed. Grabbing my phone, I set my alarm for the next morning so I wouldn’t be late for work. Before I could set down the phone, it started to ring, and the name on it made me smile as I answered.
“Am I talking to one of you or both of you?” I purred, and Alessandro’s smooth laughter filled the line.
“You’ve already got us figured out, it seems,” Emiliano answered. “What are you up to?”
“Lying naked in bed, talking to the two of you,” I said. “I have work in the morning.”
“Fuck, you can’t just say that, omega,” Alessandro growled, and his brother grunted in agreement. “You want company?”
“I’m pretty sure neither of you will fit on my bed,” I told them, a pang of loneliness hitting me as I turned down their offer. “Besides, I need sleep.”
“We can sleep,” Emiliano promised, and I could almost imagine the puppy dog eyes he was trying to pull.
“Are you trying to convince me you can be good boys, Emiliano?” I drawled, running a hand down my chest. I didn’t hold back my whimper as I played with my pierced nipples. “You both sure about that?”
“Are you trying to top us, Hazel?”
“Are you letting me?” I asked, genuinely interested in their answer. There was a beat of telling silence, then my phone vibrated with a text message. “Hold that thought, boys.”
I put them on speaker as I pulled up my texts.
Eliza:You didn’t!
Eliza:You did! I can’t believe you. Some friend you are.
Eliza:My racing?! Why? They aren’t going to let it go.
Eliza:Teagan is now filling in Loki and the Reapers with all the details. Some of which never happened.
Eliza:I hate you.
Hazel:No, you don’t. Let your freak flag fly high, Eliza. Live it up!
Eliza:I don’t hate you. But I’m not racing again.
Hazel:You don’t need to race to give the bikes and bikers a ride. Then you’ll always win.
Eliza:Oh my god. You’ve had too much to drink. Just sleep. I’m yelling at you more tomorrow in person.
I chuckled as I took the call off speaker.
