Today, it was their turn to help us.
“We got time to eat?” Rigid asked. He rubbed his stomach and smirked. “It was a long ride up here.”
Ethel opened the fridge. “If you can give me twenty minutes, I’ll get a new batch of eggs and bacon going.”
“Oh,” Meg called. “Let me help.” She motioned to Cyn. “Get over here and help, woman.”
Cyn grumbled under her breath but moved into the kitchen.
“I can help, too,” the pixie called. She handed her bag to Snapper, and it clicked that this was Lennox.
“Out of the way, coming in.” The door that had partially closed now banged into King, and Greta peeked her head through. “Your mama wasn’t a doormaker, King. Move it or lose it.”
King moved to the side and yanked the door open. “Remind me again why you came?” he growled at Greta.
She reached up and lightly patted his cheek. “Because you love me, and you interrupted my sexy time with Bear. We had to finish on the way up here.”
“Oh my god,” Snapper moaned. “Do you have to say shit like that? I could have lived the rest of my life without the image of you giving Bear road head.”
Greta tipped her head to the side. “Who said anything about road head?” She smirked. “I like being on top anyway. It worked out for the best.”
“Why?” Easy cried. “Why do you have to say this shit in front of me? I’m your damn brother.”
Bear appeared behind Greta and pushed her into the cabin.
“Whoa,” Tatum whispered. “That is a big man.”
Bear more than lived up to his name. He was over six and a half feet tall, stocky, and could murder you with one look. He was a bounty hunter and shacking up with Greta. He was domineering and serious, while Greta was goofy and sarcastic. They somehow worked together.
“Can you please get a handle on your woman?” Snapper asked Bear. “Not even thirty seconds, and she’s telling us about your extracurricular activities.”
Bear looked down at Greta. “Babe.”
One word.
Greta huffed and folded her arms over her chest. “I didn’t say anything that wasn’t the truth. King wanted to know why I came with you, so I told him. You told me to stop telling tall tales to get reactions. Did I not ride–”
“No!” Meg and Cyn hollered.
Meg held up her hands. “Do not finish that sentence. I am all for being crazy and zany, but I think we can all agree that we believe you and can move on.”
“Move on,” Cyn echoed. “Move. On.”
Tatum giggled and looked up at me. “They’re just as crazy as you said,” she whispered.
“You don’t even know, baby girl.”
Greta’s eyes snapped to me. “You.”
I looked around. “Uh, me?” I was glad Greta had moved on from telling us about her and Bear, but I didn’t want to be the center of her attention.
“Another one of you came to your senses and found a woman?” she asked.
Tatum pointed her finger at her chest. “Me? Woman?” Tatum looked up at me. “You?”
“I swear she was talking in complete sentences earlier,” Ethel giggled.
“We dated a few years ago,” I explained. “Somehow, Brandt got wind of it.”
