Fuck it. The way she was eye fucking us right now, I was going to take the risk myself. I lifted my shirt to wipe the sweat dripping from my face, my abs full display. A smirk crept across my face as I noticed her shifting on the counter again.
I stepped into her, instinctively causing her legs to part and forced her to look up at me. I tucked a stray hair behind her ear and said, “Asher and I will take your things home. Sweetheart, why don’t you go check in at the bakery and then grab us some lunch.”
Harper stared at me, opening and closing her mouth. I wanted to reach down and press my lips against hers so fucking badly. The word, “Okay.” came out so faint I almost didn’t hear her. She shifted closer to the edge of the counter and I could feel the heat of her center against me.
I leaned in and kissed the corner of her mouth before creating space between us again. I peered over my shoulder to Asher and his eyes were black and glancing down at his dick, I confirmed the same course of desire pumping through me, also ran through him.
Harper locked up the apartment and placed the key under the welcome mat like she told Theo she’d do. She was officially done with that place and with him; one step closer to being ours.
The ride back to our apartment was short and quiet. I knew Asher had a thing for my girl and after they’d kissed, I thought maybe he would be a little more open to her, but I could sense he was holding back.
When we got back to our place, we unloaded all her kitchen boxes into the living room and put the rest of the boxes, which were mostly clothes and a few decorative pieces in her new bedroom.
I told her we could go shopping for anything else she might want but she insisted everything she needed were in these boxes.
Harper arrived back at the apartment as we brought the last couple of boxes upstairs.
“Wow. You guys unloaded the truck fast.” She bit the corner of her lip and I would have given anything to know what she was thinking in that moment.
She snapped out of her train of thought and set a bag of sandwiches on the table. “Anna made these for us. She’s experimenting with some new menu items for the bakery.”
Anna was Harper’s other employee. She had more of a culinary background and loved to cook. About two months ago, Harper came up with the idea of serving a few lunch menu options like soups, salads and sandwiches. Naturally, her customers loved it and they usually sell out within the hour.
The shop next to Harpers will be moving locations at the end of the year. Anna and Harper were working on renting the space and turning it into a full café.
Asher and I were both covered in sweat from unloading, we took our shirts off to wipe our faces, not thinking anything of it. At that exact moment, Harper took a sip of her water and started choking.
We both rushed over to her. She was pressed in between our sweet bodies, I stood at her back, patting her, while Asher crouched down to her level looking her head on. “Firefly, are you okay?”
She placed a hand on her chest, as her coughing fit subsided. After another moment she cleared her throat her voice hoarse, “Yeah, I’m okay.”
I kissed the top of her head and stepped around her. We all sat down at the table and tried Anna’s newest menu additions.

We demolished all of the sandwiches, which were fucking amazing; Asher did a quick change, kissed Harper on the forehead and said, “Don’t have too much fun without me.” Before heading down to the bar. He had some distributors coming in and needed to sign off on the orders before handing things over for the night to his bar manager, Arin.
Harper stared at the closed-door Asher disappeared through before she turned on her heels and stated, “I have to tell you something.”
She walked over to the closest box and began unpacking the contents as she rambled, “So, I don’t know if Asher said anything to you while I was gone, but something happened when we were at the bakery yesterday.”
Harper paused waiting for me to make some kind of comment, but I didn’t. I obviously knew what she was about to tell me because Asher did inform me on the short ride back, that they kissed and he was two seconds away from fucking her on the counter. Which was now one of the top five places I wanted to fuck my best friend.
When I didn’t comment, she looked back down at the box and whispered, “Asher and I kissed.”
I had to fight back a smile as she looked up at me to gauge my reaction. Based on the look of concern spread across her face, she was nervous of my reaction.
After a minute of not responding she snapped, “Are you going to say something?”
I made my way across the kitchen, closer to her, backing her against the counter. I tucked the stray hair that always fell in her face behind her ear before I leaned in and said, “Sweetheart, I’m a little jealous he got to kiss you before I did. But I’m not mad if that’s what you’re worried about.”
I pulled away and gave her my back as I finished unpacking the box she abandoned.
“Wait. What?” Her eyes popping out of her head.
If I wanted my plan to work, I couldn’t scare her off so I changed the subject.
“I think after we unpack all these boxes, we should have a chill night at home to celebrate. Maybe order some pizza and watch a movie or two. What do you think?”
