Morph snorts. “Like you’ve got room to talk.”
“Facts.” Reign adds.
I shrug my shoulders. I mean, only those who need killin’. “She’s been through the wringer.”
“And you’re what? Her knight in shining leather?” Reign smirks.
I flip him off. “Fuck you, Irish.”
He laughs. “Just saying, brother. You barely know this chick, and you’re already jumping to white knight for her.”
“It’s not like that,” I insist, though I’m not sure it isn’t that exactly.
Zero’s eyes suddenly widen. “Oh shit.”
“What?” I ask, turning to follow his gaze.
“Sarah just walked in.”
Motherfucker.
Sure enough, Sarah is standing in the doorway with her new guy. He’s tall and lanky, with dark curly hair and a sweater that probably cost more than my boots. Fucking yuppie.
“You good?” Morpheus asks, his voice low.
I drag my eyes away from Sarah and shrug. “Why wouldn’t I be?”
Morpheus doesn’t look convinced.
“Seriously,” I hold his stare. “It’s fine.”
And the weird thing is, I mean it. Looking at Sarah now, I don’t feel the sting I usually do.
Maybe it’s because Honey’s here.
Maybe it’s because I’ve finally accepted that Sarah was never meant to be mine. Either way, I’m not about to let it ruin my night.
CHAPTER SEVEN
HONEY
“So,”Memphis leans closer, her dark eyes sparkling with mischief. “How long have you and Dread known each other?”
My cheeks flame as I take a sip of my White Claw to buy myself a few seconds. “Um, actually, I just met him last night when my boys wandered into his garage.”
The women exchange glances, and then they all burst into laughter.
“What?” I look around, wondering what I’ve said that’s so funny.
“Nothing, honey,” Cora grins. “That just seems to be the M.O. with these men. When they know, they know.”
Mac nods, shifting baby Saint in her arms. “Seriously. One minute you’re minding your own business, the next you’re married and sitting at this table with a baby.”
I bite my lip. That doesn’t sound like the worst thing in the world. And yet… “I’ve never met anyone like him before. He’s so...”
“Bossy?” Memphis bumps my shoulder playfully.
All the women laugh, nodding in agreement.
