There was another vibration, and Wolf went to pick it up.
“Touch it, Wolf, and I’ll move in the rest of your family.” I could only speak to him in such a way since we were longtime friends. Plus, he ignored my tone all the time, anyway.
Wolf paused, glared, then sat back from my mobile. “Is it so bad that he’s contacting you?”
“Yes.”
“I saw the way you both looked at each other. The way you protected him when you thought there was danger?—”
“I am danger,” Ruin put in.
Wolf reached over and patted his hand. “Yes, pet, very dangerous.”
He winked.
“I was just doing my job,” I informed him again.
Wolf studied me. It was never good when he did, and his next words would prove that. “What did you find out about Link that has poisoned your attraction?”
Wolf and I spent too much time together.
“Nothing.”
Ruin coughed into his hand, “Liar.”
I scowled at him, but he was too busy watching the food being placed on the table.
“Thank you. Leave us,” Wolf ordered. The kitchen staff bowed and fled.
There went my phone again.
I ground my teeth together when my phone screen lit up once more.
“If you don’t tell me, I will ask Link what it could possibly be,” Wolf warned.
“Do you want me to quit?”
We stared each other down. Wolf’s lips twitched. He knew I was bluffing. I would never leave my position.
Sighing, I told him, “I’m not interested in a man who already has many partners. I would prefer to find someone who is looking for a serious relationship.”
Ruin asked around a bite of food, “How do you know he’s not serious?”
“I…. Well, he couldn’t be if he already has so many bed partners.”
“And how did you find that out?” Ruin asked after he swallowed.
Clenching my jaw, I looked away. “Someone told me.”
“Who?” Wolf demanded.
“Yeah, who the hell would say that and when?” Ruin asked. “I wouldn’t’ve given him your number if he wasn’t keen and…. Shit.”
“You,” I snarled.
“He did it for your own good,” Wolf said, sipping his drink.
“You knew?” I demanded.
