“What’s so funny?” Eden asks as she sits down next to me.
“Nothing,” I grumble.
“It must be something,” Moon says as she joins us.
“What are we talking about?” Ashlyn asks as she plops down on a chair. “I’m guessing Brody and Soleil.”
“There is no Brody and Soleil.”
And there never will be. Nope. I’ve reinforced my walls against the man. And since he’s not sleeping in the same bed as me anymore, I can keep him at arm’s length.
Yeah, right. Because living in the same house as him isn’t tempting in and of itself. And then there’s the kiss we shared. The panty-melting kiss.
Harmony snorts. “Sure there isn’t.”
Ashlyn hones in on her. “What do you know?”
Harmony bites her lip. “Nothing.”
Ashlyn narrows her eyes on Harmony. “Are you keeping information to yourself in order to win the Project Cub bet? Not cool, lady. Not cool.”
Stupid gossip gals thinking they’re matchmakers and setting up betting pools. See if I ever give them a discount to attend one of my pottery classes again.
Eden leans forward. “I don’t care about the bet. I want Harmony to spill the beans.”
“Me too.” Moon grins. “Do I need to order a Bragg woman t-shirt?”
Ashlyn chuckles. “Because you didn’t already order one for Soleil.”
I glare at Moon. “You better not have ordered me a Bragg woman t-shirt.”
“Okay.” She shrugs. “We’ll pretend I didn’t.”
Eden studies me. “She’s not trying to stop the Ashlyn and Moon show. She always tries to stop those two from bickering unless…” Her eyes widen. “What happened?”
I sniff and lift my nose in the air. “I don’t know what you’re referring to.”
She shoves her palm in my face. “I’m not talking to you. I want to hear from Harmony what happened.”
“Harmony,” I growl. She better not tattle to our friends.
“It’s for your own good,” she tells me before turning toward Eden, Moon, and Ashlyn. “Brody and Soleil were kissing at the Lammas festival. And not a mere peck on the lips. No, they weregoing at it. If I hadn’t walked in on them, clothes would have gone flying.”
Ashlyn slaps her hand down on the table. “I knew it!”
“It doesn’t mean anything,” I claim.
“Which is why Brody’s been undressing you with his eyes all night.” Eden waves at Brody across the room.
I glance over and as soon as Brody catches me looking, he begins prowling across the room. The first chords ofLoverfrom Taylor Swift begin to play and I roll my eyes. Brody thinks I’m a Swiftie. I mean. I am. But he shouldn’t know what music I prefer to listen to.
He stops in front of me and holds out his hand before bowing. “May I have this dance, milady?”
I don’t get a chance to tell himhell nobefore Ashlyn is pushing me out of my chair. “Go,” she hisses.
Brody doesn’t hesitate. He catches my hand as I’m forced to my feet and draws me near before kissing my cheek.
“They’re so cute together,” Harmony squeals and I flip her off behind my back.
