“Fine.” Sam waved his hand. Probably best not to admit he’d been lost in picturing how soft Carson’s hair had been. Or how Sam knew that.
Adam frowned. “You didn’t sleep again, did you?”
“Actually…” Sam beamed. “I slept better than I have in months.” It was true. Even though Sam had been frustratingly hard, and Carson had refused to touch him intimately, as soon as Sam’s cheek was laid against Carson’s chest, he’d drifted off to sleep. And he hadn’t woken up once all night.
“Really?” Nash drawled. “Is that so?” The twinkle in his eye was hard to miss.
“Uh, yeah,” Sam replied.
“Because I can remember my L.T. here last night when Lincoln dropped me off to pick up my vehicle and him asking Caden what your favorite meal was.” Lincoln smiled hugely as he lifted a brow.
Adam’s eyes widened as they landed on him.
“Really?” Lucas asked as he crossed his arms over his chest. “Did you have company last night, Sam?”
“Hey! What is this?” Sam inquired. “I’m the boss here. Get to work.”
Lucas shook his head. “I don’t know, boss, maybe we should have a talk with the lieutenant to see what his intentions are,” he teased.
Sam knew he was blushing as he dropped his eyes. Oh, he knew what Carson’s intentions were and he was not upset about them at all.
“Holy shit!” Nash laughed loudly as he hopped up on the counter. “Linc owes me fifty bucks.”
“Off the counter.” Adam slapped Nash’s thigh. “And what are you talking about?”
“I knew the L.T. wanted our little princess. Lincoln thought it would take him more time to make a move though. The L.T. is really private about his personal life, but I could tell he was interested.”
“You’re jumping to conclusions,” Lucas scolded Nash.
Adam was still looking between Nash and Sam.
“Maybe.” Nash shrugged. “So…” He batted his lashes in Sam’s direction.
“I need to open the front,” Sam said, scurrying across the kitchen.
“Oh, come on!” Nash called. “I need those fifty bucks. I’m saving for a new tattoo.”
“I said to come see me and I‘d take care of you,” Lucas admonished Nash.
Nash dropped his chin as Adam smiled.
So much going on between those three and Sam was dying to know so he could understand Nash’s interest in his own love life. They were a close group and that was what friends did. They teased but supported.
Sam went about his opening routine and his attention was caught by a black SUV driving slowly past the entrance. It seemed like it was the same SUV that had been behind him that morning on his drive.
He just couldn’t shake the feeling that he’d been followed, and it was weird to see the same type of vehicle again.
There was an uneasy feeling that he pushed away even though he knew better.
Quickly finishing up opening, he had just unlocked the front door as it was shoved open. Sam jumped out of the way smiling at Marcie. Marcie was one of his part-time employees that had worked there for a couple of months now.
“Hey, Marcie,” Sam greeted.
“Sorry, Sam. I didn’t see you through the glass.”
“It’s fine.” He waved his hand noticing that Marcie was upset. “Hey, what’s wrong?” He walked slowly over to his employee and wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
“I’m sorry, Sam!” Marcie wailed.
