“For just implying that someone would have to be brain damaged to love him.”
“I . . . I . . .”
“Well?” She crossed her arms over her chest.
“Stop tormenting your friend, girl,” Gray told her. “You know I don’t give a fuck about any apology. All I care about is the insult to you.”
Sampson’s shoulders slumped. “I’m sorry. You’re right. I didn’t mean to hurt you, Maeve. You know I’d never do that.”
“I know,” she said quietly. “I know you’re just looking out for me. But I’m not an idiot. Gray is mine. I’m his. And you need to accept that.”
“Even if he has blood on his hands?” Sampson asked.
“You think Alejandro doesn’t?”
“Fuck. I want to say that’s different, but it’s not. However, we all know how obsessively he takes care of our Cat,” Sampson said.
“I think Gray might give him a run for his money,” Immy said. “He hasn’t even let her out of his arms since they got out of the car.”
“Speaking of Cat, has anyone told her what happened?” Maeve asked nervously.
They all looked at Immy, who threw her hands in the air. “Not me. I promise. I haven’t called her. They’re on their honeymoon. Cat has been waiting to go on her honeymoon for over a year. I’m not ruining that. You know she’d be straight back here. But if she calls and asks . . . I can’t lie.”
Immy was a terrible liar. Maeve wasn’t much better.
“Do the men that Alejandro’s sent know?” Maeve asked.
Sampson shook his head. “No, they know about the stalker but not what happened last night.”
“Cat is going to kill us,” Jenner said.
They all nodded.
“You know what? I think we should vote Gray in,” Immy said.
“We can’t,” Jenner said. “You know we need everyone’s vote.”
“Oh, true. Sorry, Gray, we can’t tell you until everyone votes.”
“I have no idea what’s happening right now,” Gray said.
Maeve patted his arm around her waist soothingly. “They’re just trying to decide on whether to vote you into our family. Don’t worry, they’re all going to vote yes.”
“Is that something I should want?” he asked dryly.
“Course it is,” Maeve said brightly. “My friends are the best. They’re loyal, protective, funny, cute, sweet, and beautiful.”
“Hope you’re talking about Immy and Cat when you say cute, sweet, and beautiful,” Sampson grumbled.
“Hey, speak for yourself,” Jenner joked. “I happen to think I’m very beautiful.”
“You would, dipshit,” Sampson replied.
Immy held out the plate of cookies again. Maeve was reaching for one when Gray whispered in her ear.
“No more sugar, girl.”
She barely managed to hide her shudder of pleasure at the order. She wanted to please him, of course she did. It was an urge deep inside her.
