Sunny and I turned to see him standing in the archway leading back to the kitchen. He wore a black T-shirt that fit snug across his wide chest, and damn, he made those tight jeans look mmm-mmm-good.
Sunny gave me side-eye, her eyebrow raised.
I gave her side-eye back and wiggled my brows.
Billy Bob shook his head, chuckling softly, as he went back into the kitchen giving us both a very nice view of him walking away.
“Holy shit, Chav,” Sunny said in a quiet voice. “You and Billy Bob. I am seriously impressed.”
“What? You didn’t think I could land a man like the doc?”
She wrapped her arm around my waist and put her head on my shoulder. “Don’t be silly. I’m impressed he managed to land you. You are a fucking catch, and any man would be goddamn lucky to have you in his life.”
I don’t know why, but I teared up. Not enough that anything leaked from my eyes, but I think on some level, I was almost afraid I was too damaged for any relationship. I rubbed her shoulder. “Thanks, Sunny. You always know the right thing to say.”
“Yeah,” she said. “It’s a gift.”
We laughed again. “That coffee smells good.”
“Well, let’s go get some then.” She picked her donut bag off the floor.
“Cinnamon twist?”
“You bet.” She winked. “A cinnamon twist for you, old fashions for Billy Bob, and a double chocolate dipped raspberry éclair with extra raspberry for me.”
“So you really are pregnant.”
She grinned. “I’ll wait until after the Jubilee and we find these fucking bastards before I take the official test.” She glanced at Billy Bob, who had already poured three cups of coffee and set the steaming mugs on the counter.
“Have you told Babe?”
“Do you think I would have said it in front of Billy Bob if I hadn’t?”
“I guess not.” I chuckled, so glad I had her in my life. She was right. Babe would have had a conniption if she had told Billy Bob about her pregnancy before him.
“Congratulations, Sunny.” He pushed her mug to her. “You can come in anytime during clinic hours. I’ll work you in.”
“Of course, you will,” I said, more out of habit than a real belief that he preferred Sunny to me. He’d pretty much kissed and…well…you know… the doubt right out of me.
Sunny smacked me. “So, tell me what happened, and don’t you dare leave a single thing out. I may get an impression or something.”
“We should be safe for tonight. The killer has to be a therian, so he’ll be shifting along with the rest of us.”
“They grabbed you in broad daylight,” Sunny said. “If they want to kill someone today, they will find a way to do it, and I want to help stop them.”
“You’re right,” I said. “The man the night before had seemed determined to get in a third killing before the full moon.”
“Sunny,” Billy Bob said. “Trying to get a vision while you’re pregnant isn’t a good idea.”
She narrowed her gaze on him. “My baby is the size of a cashew. She doesn’t even have a nervous system yet, let alone a brain. She will not be traumatized by any visions I get, but I will certainly be traumatized if we don’t catch these psychos before they kill someone I love.”
He didn’t look completely convinced, but, finally, he nodded. Good thing too, because I’d known Sunny for almost a decade, and she wasn’t going to let him stop her from doing what she wanted to do.
Sunny took my hand and closed her eyes.
“We’re doing this now?”
She peeked at me with one eye. “Now is as good a time as any.”
