“Right?” Daisy said excitedly. “I mean, I was pretty sure he did, but then I confirmed it with Cooper.”
“Chase told his boss he thinks I’m cute?” Eleanor said.
“No, he would have smelled it on Chase. Cooper is a lion shifter, right?” Hedra said.
“That’s right,” Daisy said.
“And you two are getting married?” Hedra said.
A smile beamed across Daisy’s face. “We are. So, how are you getting along with Boone’s grandma?”
Eleanor said a silent prayer of thanks for the topic change.
“So far, so good,” Hedra said.
She continued talking, but Eleanor didn’t hear a word. How could she when Wes had walked into the living room looking like a gorgeous god? He wore a burgundy Henley with tight jeans, and his dark hair was damp like he’d just had a shower.
“Huh, I guess I know why you aren’t into my cousin,” Hedra said.
“Sorry, uh, what?” Eleanor forced herself to focus on something other than the way Wes’s jeans clung to his perfect ass.
“You’re totally into that guy who just walked in,” Hedra said.
“No, I’m not,” Eleanor said.
“I don’t need to be a shifter to smell your lust for him,” Hedra said.
Daisy laughed, and Eleanor scowled at her.
“Sorry, but it is kind of obvious how much you want to bang Wes,” Daisy said.
Wes scanned the room, and when his gaze landed on her, Eleanor practically combusted at the heat in his gaze. Her cheeks flushed, her nipples hardened, and just like that, her stupid panties were soaked. With everyone in jeans, she’d felt a little overdressed in her dress and heels, but seeing how Wes looked at her, she was happy she’d convinced Chase to let her make a quick stop at her place to pick up the dress.
“Wes, you gorgeous man, get your ass over here and have a birthday shot with me,” Boone shouted from across the room.
With a final glance at Eleanor, Wes headed over to Boone as Cooper and Grayson joined them.
“Wow.” Hedra fanned her face. “Looks like the birthday boy knows exactly what present he wants to unwrap for his birthday.”
Eleanor turned bright red as Daisy laughed again. “Right? He’s so into Eleanor. It’s adorable.”
“Wes isn’t, I mean, he’s not…”
“You can’t even say it because you’re not a liar,” Daisy said. She smiled at Hedra. “Don’t you think Eleanor and Wes would make a cute couple?”
“The cutest,” Hedra said. “You should…”
Hedra’s voice died out, and Eleanor finally tore her gaze from Wes’s amazing ass. She grinned at the look on Hedra’s face. Ryan had joined them, and she held out a wine glass. “Eleanor, here’s your drink. Chase got sucked into doing shots with Grayson and the others.”
She glanced at the group – both Lusa and Chase had joined them – and a soft smile crossed her face. “I love seeing them together like this, just having fun. They all work way too much.”
“Agreed,” Daisy said. “Ryan, have you met Hedra? She’s Mrs. Jameson’s new nurse.”
“Hi, Hedra. It’s nice to meet you.” Ryan held out her hand, and Eleanor tried not to giggle when Hedra stared blankly at it.
She elbowed Hedra, who made a soft grunt before shaking Ryan’s hand. “Um, hi. I’m a huge fan. I love your show. It’s so nice to meet you, Ms. Shepherd. I’m Hedra. Shit, you already know that. Fuck, I just said shit in front of Ryan Shepherd. I mean… fuck.”
Ryan burst into laughter. “Grayson says I swear like a sailor, so no need to apologize, Hedra. Also, call me Ryan.”
