After letting them outside, I threw the ball for them each, making them run and play for a good twenty minutes like Trance usually did before bringing them back inside.
They attacked the meal like starving beasts, and only then did I look back at the woman who’d resumed her seat.
“I’m sorry, Bree. My old man got hurt today. Today’s been kind of hectic. Who did you say you were again?”
I was going to hell for calling him my old man.
Her face scrunched up in anger, and only then did I see the mask slip and the evil rear its head.
“I came to check on Killian.” She murmured darkly.
“Trance? I’m sorry, who are you again? I’ve not heard him mention a Bree before.” I said slowly.
I hadn’t actually heard him mention Bree before, so it wasn’t actually a lie. I’d only heard about her from Foster on the way back. And from what I’d learned, she could be fingered by Wolverine for all I cared.
“Bree. His ex-fiancé.” She ground out.
“Oh, well that’s odd. I’ve never heard you mentioned once. Who called you?” I asked her.
Her mouth pursed like she’d sucked on a lime. “A nurse at the ER called. She wanted to double check his insurance, and I was still listed as an emergency contact.”
“Hmm, we’ll have to get that fixed.” I said dismissively as I walked to the fridge and grabbed a beer. “Anybody else want some beer?”
Foster and Miller both answered with affirmative grunts. Bree on the other hand had to be difficult. “Do you have any wine?” She asked sweetly.
I rolled my eyes. “No, Trance is more of a beer man. I think he may have some JD in here somewhere. I also saw he had a bottle ofJager.”
Her lips turned up in a silent snarl, and I brought the beer up to my lips to hide my smile. “I have some water. I drank the last of the Dr. Pepper before bed last night.”
“Water will be fine, thank you.” She said primly.
“Okay,” I said. “Cups are in the cabinet behind you. Water’s in the fridge door.”
“I don’t drink the local water.” She sniffed.
“Well, then I guess you have your choice of MGD, Coors, Zigenbach, or Blackened VooDoo. Personally, I really like the BlackenedVooDoo. It tastes sublime. Trance introduced it to me a couple of weeks ago.” I said smiling.
Turning, I made my way to the table and took a seat directly across from a barely-containing-his-chuckles Foster.
Miller wasn’t even trying to contain his laughter. He was all out shoulder shaking with his laughs.
“Do you live in town?” I asked curiously.
“No,” she shook her head. “I live in Alexandria.”
“Hmm,” I said.
I was about to say something else when a pair of strong, callused hands wrapped around my throat, over my breasts, and came to a stop just underneath my breasts. Trance’s lips found their way to my neck, and I shivered at the touch of his lips.
“Hey, baby. Why haven’t you come to bed yet?” He rasped against my neck.
“My sister had a crisis. I just got back and met your friend here.” I answered breathily.
My nipples had pebbled, pressing against the thin tank top I was wearing determinedly.
The pad of his thumb swiped against the turgid peak once before he withdrew.
“Friend? Where?” He asked and stood, finally making eye contact with the very pissed off woman sitting across the table from me. “Oh. Hey, Bree. How’s it going? What are you doing here?”
