On cue, a ping-pong ball clucks Myles right along the side of the head, and neither of us need to look to see that Kai was the culprit behind that.

“He’s an asshole,” Myles says casually, as if it didn’t happen because he doesn’t spare his buddy a glance. “He hates that we’re standing this close.”

“What do you think he’ll do?”

He pushes his lips out. “Hard to tell. Though, if I was to shoot straight with you, I think he’s jealous.”

“I’d say he’s not.”

“Really?” I nod. “Care to put that theory to the test?”

“Nope.”

His brows pinch a little. “You don’t find me attractive?”

“This has everything to do with morals and my time.”

I watch his eyes roll into the back of his head. “We’re both adults. And Odin needs someone that’s going to ground him and not cheat on him.”

“And you think me hooking up with you is a sure sign to show him that?” I perk a brow at him because, it might be because he’s drunk, but he’s being slow right now.

“Nah, I like my dick,” Myles claims. “But I do think you’d be good for him.”

“You’ve only known me for an hour.”

“And this can’t be anything new,” he claims. “I know Odin wasn’t charming your panties off the whole night because that’s not the kind of dude he is. But you met again, by fate, and here you are.”

“I needed the money.”

“No one like you is going to settle for an asshole if she knows she can’t handle him.”

I roll my eyes. “I evade him.”

“You can call it whatever you like, Molly. However, the facts still look the same. You’re pretty and he’s a dick and, together, you’d make one hell of a couple.”

I don’t agree.

Kai won’t be able to give me what I want. I’m not clingy by any means, but I need to feel wanted from time to time.

Plus, there are his daughters, and I work for him, so it still won’t work.

“And that’s your plan?”

Myles shrugs his shoulders. “I’m just testing the waters right now to see how he’ll react.”

“And how’s that workin’ out for you?”

“He hasn’t punched me yet, so I’d say pretty good. Maybe it’s because he trusts you not to fuck his best friend.”

“He’d be right.”

Myles smiles at me. “And so am I.”

“What about the cheating allegations against him?”

I watch his smile immediately drop into a frown which doesn’t pose a good sign. “You googled him.”

“I’m nosy.”
